Shiori Taiyou

Shiori Taiyou (太陽詩織 Taiyō Shiori) is one of the main characters in the series Keroro Gunso: The Next Generation. She is the partner of Shivava.
== Character ==
Shiori comes from a very big and wealthy family. Her father is the multi-trillionaire head of a company called The Pyramid. She has a huge crush on Tenchi Hinohara and doesn't like it when other girls stand in her way of him. While she tends to get annoyed by her Keronian partner Shivava's antics, they often help each other and have a bond akin to siblings.
Shiori is similar to Yukiho and Maya in quite a few ways. Like Maya, Shiori comes from a rich family, and like Yukiho, she will do anything she can to impress her crush. Not to mention all three of them like learning new things every day. 
Shiori initially makes very expensive plans using the resources of The Pyramid to try and get closer to Tenchi. However, she gradually starts relying on those plans less and less in the last season of the anime.
=== Backstory ===
Before the series, Shiori lived in Cairo, Egypt for three years because her father worked there with Egyptian agriculturists, before the family moved back to Japan. She was raised with the knowledge that she would run The Pyramid sometime in the future, but while she looked forward to becoming a successful businesswoman, she sometimes worried that the job would go to her older sister Isis or older brother Seth instead, yet consequently with the freedom to pursue her own interests. Shiori is enjoying the riches of her family's business and enjoying the life of a student at the most prestigious school in her district. During her first week at school, she eventually found interest in Tenchi, and she hopes that once she gets together with him, her social status will ascend. 
One day, during a beach party, Shivava unexpectedly washed up onshore. Shiori noticed this, picking him up and asking if he was okay. After Shivava coughed out some water, he told Shiori an evil space monster attacked his army, so they had to evacuate to Earth through escape pods. Apparently, Shivava's escape pod was supposed to land on the ground, but it landed in the sea instead. Shiori feels a little sorry for Shivava, so she decides to take him home to take care of him and help him find the members of his army. 
== Personality ==
At first, Shiori may seem to be selfish, arrogant, and sassy, but can't be entirely blamed for her behavior, because she is from a wealthy family and tries to follow in her father's footsteps. But deep down, Shiori is a very caring, kind, and thoughtful person who cares about her friends.
There are very few people who know that Shiori's confidence is not as solid as she makes it seem to be: she is easy to be taken by the insecurity of not being able to fit in. But Shiori is aware she is lucky to have found people around her that allow her to flourish and while not always the most tactful, she is very protective of her friends.
== Appearance ==
Shiori has pale skin, short, wavy black hair with fringed bangs, and blue eyes. She wears a bluish-teal top with golden highlights, a white skirt, and brown boots. Her hair is mostly adorned with a golden headband with sky blue jewels.
