## Appearance

Shino is a tall, fairly built young adult with tan skin, yellowish-green eyes, and pale brown semi-spiked hair, with a fringe obscuring the left. His stomach strangely appears to look like "grated cheese".

He wears a grayish-brown trench coat with a loose black bowtie, and on the right breast of the coat is Lord Death's emblem. On his hands are a pair of brown fingerless gloves, and he appears to be wearing a dark brown cowboy hat on his head. He also wears a pair of blue denim jeans with a gray belt buckled around the waist, and on his feet is a pair of dark brown pointy-toed boots with gray soles.

## Personality

Shino is cool, collected, and has more patience and a polite demeanor compared to his hot-tempered and impulsive weapon partner, even in the most dire of situations. However, he hates to lose to someone he sees worthy enough as a rival, mostly Maka and Soul. He's like a cowboy, only he doesn’t speak any of the western slang. He cares a great deal about Spike, who sees him as her only friend but will never admit it.

## History

### Early Life

Born in Houston, Texas. His mother was a witch hunter who was investigating Arachne's whereabouts after one of her minions ripped out Shino's left eye. Unfortunately, she was killed when Shino was just a child and was left with his abusive father, who eventually abandoned him. Thankfully, Shino managed to go and live with his grandparents.

One day, while he was out doing chores for his grandparents, he met his future weapon partner, Sicily Clayborne, but she prefers to be called "Spike". Shino's calm and collected demeanor seemed to connect with Spike, who is usually wild and hotheaded, and they later went to the DWMA.
