Mashiro Shiina

Mashiro Shiina, also known as Mashiron, is the main female protagonist from The Pet Girl of Sakurasou series.
== Charactah Account ==
Mashiro is a gifted yet somewhat strange second-year transferee to Suiko after living for many years in England to learn how to draw manga. Early on, she exhibits a total lack of knowledge in any other skill than drawing, including basic hygiene and social skills. For this reason Sorata was assigned as her caretaker. She lives in Room 202.
Mashiro is an excellent artist, but is extremely terrible at everything else due to lacking any common sense. She is almost completely devoid of emotion, typically wearing a blank expression and speaking in a dreary manner. Having a soft voice, Mashiro is a girl of few words, since at times, she herself is unsure of what to think, let alone say. These traits may suggest that she is autistic.
She is eccentric, as if living in her own world. As a result, she typically reacts to situations in an unconventional manner and operates on very different morals from others. For example, at times, Mashiro gives Sorata encouraging words that leave him confused instead of motivated. Mashiro can be considered an idealistic person, able to have faith in others quite easily and is quickly convinced of another's potential based on how hard that person is trying to achieve their goal.

== Trivia ==
* Despite her behavior, it's never outright stated that she has a mental disorder. The closest thing her dormmates did to name her a disorder was for Sorata to call her "special", having been fed up with her antics earlier that day. Some other characters says she has issues and during valentines, even Mashiro herself says that she is not normal. For nearly all western viewers she has textbook-accurate High-Functioning Autism.
* Mashiro" means "pure white". Not only does she have a fairer skin than the rest of the cast, it is pretty clear that Sorata even thought she is "pure to a fault".
