She is shown to get nervous easily, especially when meeting new people, as seen during her first meeting with Gojo and Marin. This aside, Shinju strongly admires and loves her sister, working as her cosplay photographer while also creating an online account to share her sister's work. Shinju likes the *Flower Princess Blaze* alongside Sajuna and Marin. Her favorite character from the series is the older brother Soma, due to his caring nature, as he reminds Shinju of her sister.

Like her friends and "big" sister, she is also interested in trying out cosplay but, contrary to the others, she wishes to cosplay as a boy. Her big chest, however, has proven to be a hurdle in achieving this.

When her sister, Sajina, asked her to take photos, Shinju was delighted to take them. She wanted other people to see her photos so with her sister's permissions she gave her an account and cosplay name. Due to the popularity Sajina got, Shinju was overwhelmed and ignored all of the requests.

She met Marin Kitagawa and Wakana Gojo as a chance to teach some photography. She joined the pair in looking over the studio. Afterwards, Wakana talked to her about possibly cosplaying and Shinju decided to give it a try. Her cosplay went over well with Sajina and Marin and they all took photos together. After the photo shoot, Shinju vowed to get a job and save up money to cosplay more often.
