Shana (Shakugan no Shana)

Shana, also known as The Flame Haze of the Nietono no Shana, Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter and Hirai Yukari, is the titular main character from the Shakugan no Shana series.
== Charactah Account ==
Shana is a Flame Haze. At the beginning of the story, Shana is solely concerned with her duty as a Flame Haze. Her life is one of constant fighting, and she's so dismissive of her humanity that she doesn't even bear a name.
One day, during another fight, Shana meets Yuuji. Because of the treasure tool inside him, she decides to stay to keep a close watch at him and takes the identity of his classmate Yukari Hirai. She sees Yuuji as nothing more than another Torch though, an object interesting only because of its status. However, as Yuuji begins to demonstrate perplexing selflessness and courage, particularly human traits, she slowly opens up to him, coming to think of him as an actual person.
Going through many different battles together, Shana eventually comes to fall in love with Yuuji. Yuuji eventually names Shana after her Sword, Nietono no Shana. Shana has a funny habit of saying 'Urusai' ('Shut up!') three times in a row whenever Yuuji makes a remark which disturbs her way of seeing things. Also Shana is very fond of melon bread.

== Trivia ==
* The name "Shana", which was given by Yuuji to the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter (from her main weapon, Nietono no Shana) actually refers to the buddha Vairocana.
* Her title, "Flamed-Haired Burning-Eyed" (Enpatsu Shakugan), is a play on the term "Blonde-Haired, Blue-Eyed" (Kinpatsu Hekigan), which described foreigners appeared in many anime and manga characters.
* Tabitha St. Germain, the Geneon English voice actress for Shana, also did the voices of Domino and the Huge Kewpie Rinne.
* In Episode 5 of Hayate the Combat Butler, Shana is parodied by Nagi Sanzenin, who shares the same Japanese voice actress as her. Both also have very similar personalities.
* In the fourth episode of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, the main female character Haruka Nogizaka wears the dark-green-and-yellow uniform of Misaki City Municipal High School and references Shana by saying "Urusai, urusai, urusai!" She also wears a coat much like Yogasa. Hishoku no Sora also plays in the background.
** Mamiko Noto, the seiyu for Haruka, also voiced Hecate.
** Hishoku no Sora is again played in the sixth episode, with official art of Shana seen in Comiket.
* Shana can be briefly seen in a montage during the fifth episode of Eromanga-Sensei, saying "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" when Takasago Tomoe discusses heroines to inspire Eromanga Sensei. The montage also features Taiga Aisaka from Toradora as both Shana and Taiga share the same Japanese voice actress, the light novel covers for Shakugan no Shana and Toradora are featured in the Eromanga-Sensei anime and all three series share the same light novel publisher, Dengenki Bunko.
