## Stats and Traits

Shaira's Stats
 Endurance

### Traits

* MEDIUM: Ghosts have their Exploration increased by 80% when closer than 20m of Shaira, 25% if further. Ghosts also move and interact 10% faster. This effect is lost when devoured.
* STATIC: Shaira's Exploration is reduced by 10% when her flashlight is on and over 60% battery life.

## Tips

Shaira is a fairly simple Investigator. She has an incredible Bravery stat as well as great Exploration and Stealth, meaning she can find Clues easily and isn't affected by Paranoia or the Creature's powers as much. Her most notable disadvantage is her low Flashlight stat, which becomes even worse if she is using her Fortune Teller skin. Shaira's flashlight stat makes caboosing difficult, as her flashlight will not have a high range and will constantly run out of batteries. However, if necessary, her high Bravery will allow her to run directly up to The Creature to stun it and allow her teammates to get away.

Shaira's traits are generally pretty weak. Making use of MEDIUM requires Shaira to be alive, while STATIC isn't much of an issue due to Shaira's low battery life. If one of the ghosts in the round is Iker, then his CLUMSY trait will effectively be nullified due to Investigators banishing Idols faster. Ghosts will also be able to hear Clues from a much better distance, allowing them to lead Shaira or split Investigators to clues much easier.

## Trivia

* According to the store page, Shaira's concentration can easily be broken, which in turn makes her work better with her flashlight off.
* Shaira's description contains a grammatical error, as "Will her extensive knowledge about paranormal events help her facing the darkest horrors" should say "Will her extensive knowledge about paranormal events help her *face* the darkest horrors?"
* Shaira's default appearance has a slight resemblance to the characters in the video game Pharaonic, which was also developed and published by Milkstone Studios.
* Shaira's Masquerade skin seems to be a reference to Anubis, the Egyptian god of numerous death-related activities and the Underworld. Similarly, Shaira is a known fortune teller, as well as a medium and avid reader of spiritism books.
* Shaira, Yumi, and Denali are the only characters to have a timed skin use an alternate skin's model. In Shaira's case, her Christmas skin uses the Fortune Teller model.
* When not considering skins, Shaira is tied with Anne Marie for the highest Bravery stat.
