Shiori Ayashima

Art by Hibuni/SqualinaTralala

**Shiori Ayashima** is a student of Class 80-A of Hope's Peak Academy and a participant in Tranquility Station Killing Game (Tranquility Station). Shiori was created by ***SqualinaTralala***.

## Appearance

She has very light skin tone and a pretty thin and petite body with a very modest chest size (A). Her head is heart-shaped, with a doll-like aspect to it. Her pale cloud grey eyes seems to have an air of dreaminess and melancholy. She has straight mid-back length black hair that are tied in two low ponytails with white ribbons. Her bangs are lightly swept and her right-side hair strand is covered by colorful pearls and threads.

Shiori wears a large velvet eggplant cloak that reaches her calves. The front side is shorter and is tied with a bronze chain while the cape is mostly behind her back. When she takes it off, we can see that she is wearing an off-the shoulder white top with a lacy border. Over the shirt, she wears a Byzantium purple dress with thin straps and a sweetheart neckline. The top part of the neckline is of a darker shade of purple. On the straps, there are little pears reminiscent of the ones on her hair strand. Both the cloak and the dress have copper embroidery details all over it. She also wears white socks and short brown fake leather laced-up boots.

She wears a bronze necklace with a moonstone pendant on it that is supposed to be a lucky charm. Finally, she always carries with her a big beige linen bag to carry her stuff (a grimoire, some candles, some threads, some gemstones, and some plants).

## Personality

### Pre-Reboot

Shiori is an innocent and friendly girl who cares about everyone. She forms a close friendship with Galexialyn Chijimatsu which later escalates into a romantic relationship.

However, the events of the Killing Games have taken a toll on Shiori's innocence. When Dylan causes Galexialyn's execution, she becomes bitter and furious, even wishing to kill Dylan for taking her best friend from her, until Alice reassures her to follow the right path. By the end of the Tranquility Base Killing Game, she develops a jaded view towards human nature, but nonetheless holds on to hope and refuses to surrender to despair.

## History

### Backstory

Shiori was trained in the art of magic ever since she was young. During her childhood, she had a pet cat named Noir. She befriended a kid named Daichi, until he killed Noir in front of her. Out of grief, Shiori unleashed a curse which she was unable to control; not only causing Daichi to die in a car crash but also her parents' divorce and her mentor's death. Shiori's traumatizing guilt from the results of her curse is what caused her to be entered in the sanitarium.

### Pre-Reboot Canon

#### Sea of Tranquility

##### Alternative Ending

In "Hope" ending, the Roulette wheel is spun by Jason and ends up landing on her podium. The Ultimate Hope encourages everyone not to seek revenge and to work together, though her execution is cut short when Tae Min stepped in and saves her, sacrificing himself in the process. She and the rest of the survivors (Barring Yukiko, who escapes) have to rush to the final settlement to prevent the despair virus from being transmitted and then face Monokuma for the final show down as they have to solve the last mysteries surrounding the Sea of Tranquility.

In "Despair" ending, the wheel is instead, spun by Monokuma himself as everyone hesitated from doing so. It landed on Shiori, who finds herself terrified and unable to muster any hope in the face of death. She was executed and in rage, Mr. Psycho emerges and kills Yukiko before she could escape, resulting in the release of the despair virus.

## Trivia

* Shiori's name comes from the Japanese 栞 *shiori* (bookmark/guide) and 怪しま *ayashima* (suspicious). This alludes to not only her having supernatural powers, but also prophesies how she acts as a beacon for hope even when all seems lost.
* Shiori's black cat Noir is an allusion to Cat Noir from *Miraculous Ladybug*.
