Shinobu Oshino

Shinobu Oshino (忍野 忍, Oshino Shinobu) is a mysterious vampire girl in the Monogatari series who acts as Koyomi Araragi's companion. 
She was formerly a powerful immortal vampire named "Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade" who desired to find a place to die, only to arrive in Japan and have Araragi involved with her life. She now takes the form of a eight-year-old girl by the name of Shinobu Oshino after losing most of her powers and needing to suck Koyomi's blood to survive, only continues to stay to watch over him for the rest of his life.
She was voiced by in Japanese and in English.
==Appearance==
Shinobu is a young female with yellow eyes, pointy ears, sharp fangs, and long blond hair. During the course of the series, she takes on several changes in appearance depending on how much of her vampire powers she possesses. Through most of the series, she assumes a younger form as an eight year old in a loose dress and sandals. 
She can suck blood to become older; gradually transforming her clothes into an appearance similar to her original form. Her true form as Kiss-Shot is an woman in her late twenties with very long hair, wearing a red and black dress.
==Personality==
After losing most of her vampire powers, Shinobu falls into a long period of stupor and does not talk to anyone, only she will help Koyomi if he is in desperate need. 
Later in the series, she reverts back to her original brighter personality after "reconciling" with Koyomi. She is rather talkative, and often asserts her superiority through archaic speech. She mostly plays with Koyomi's tendency to act as the follower between the two. 
Shinobu holds affection for Koyomi stemming from him saving her during the events of Kizumonogatari. She is seen to show jealousy if he spends too much time around other girls or gets too close to those she does not like. She is shown to be touched by Koyomi being willing to live and die with her. Her liking for Koyomi leads to her desiring to restore their master-servant bond whenever it is broken, despite it restricting her abilities and movements.
