[b]Name:[/b] Shimi Megumi
[b]Age:[/b] 24
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Gift:[/b] Shimi possesses a series of unique abilities. The first is the pace at which she can read, allowing her to read long novels in minutes. The second is her ability to absorb and understand the information she is reading, even to the point of extrapolation from fictional logic, allowing her to learn skills that would take many years to master. However, the skills gained are very much temporary, unless she rereads the book from memory (she has a true photographic memory). The last ability is her ability to manipulate paper that has either been written on it with Arlanian ink, or paper from Arlanian trees. Her manipulative control is rather potent, enough she can stop bullets in a small area with pieces of paper. Her potency with the ability is largely affected by how much she has personally interact with the paper in question as well as her distance to it.
[b]Birthplace:[/b] Shard 22
[b]Profession/Rank:[/b] Librarian, UN
[b]Kensai Piloted:[/b] N/A
[b]Affiliations:[/b] UN, Library
[b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Standing barely over 5'1", Shimi is a short, mousy woman with a mess of shoulder length brown hair. She has warm brown eyes with soft skin from lack of time outdoors. She has a surprising amount of muscle on her body from carting around books all day.
[b]Clothing/Armor:[/b] Shimi's outfit is non-standard for a UN employee. While she has one of the standard uniform jackets, hers, however, in a silver-white, is almost comically too big for her. She only wears the jacket when there are formal events, most just giving her the room she needs to work. For more casual instances and work when she can get away with it, she wears a very stereotypical librarian's outfit, with a brown tweed skirt and a stuffy white blouse. She has a formal suit jacket that matches her skirt, as well as a long brown overcoat that she often wears.
[b]Weapons:[/b] Carries around a briefcase of paper items.
[b]History:[/b] Shimi is a very peculiar woman. Her father was a Japanese businessman and her mother an Arlanian woman of the Yuki family. Shimi's abilities manifested early on, allowing her to skip formal schooling due her ability to gather information from books instead of other people. Her mother was taken in by the UN when she was 10, having previously been protected by her father's status - an important player in the UN's affairs. But when his business went south, so did his ability to protect his wife.

Shimi's father was unable to cope with the loss of his wife and disappeared shortly after her fifteenth birthday. He is listed as deceased, assumed that he flung himself off the edge of the shard. With no parents left, Shimi was brought in by UN officials, but surprisingly to be offered the ability to work for them instead of suffer through the persecutions the other Arlanian's had undergone. She accepted the offer, not out of fear for her own safety, but out of the chance to work within the Library. She was given the modern day equivalent of a mid range six figure salary, allowing her to live at the top end of the middle class. However, Shimi opted for a modest 1,300 sqft apartment on Shard 3, the Shard housing the Great Library. She uses the rest of her salary to purchase books, as well as rent space in an underground warehouse on the same shard..
