Yuuka is a special case. Like some high-ranking Investigators like Kureo Mado, she possesses and uses multiple Quinque in battle. What makes her special is how she uses them. After a long career of throwing herself recklessly into battle against high-ranking Ghouls with little concern to her own life, Yuuka has lost a lot of things. Her arms, a segment of her jaw and a few of her teeth, the left half of her face, and everything below the waist. To compensate for this, she uses specially-made Quinque as replacement limbs. Appearing as prosthetics when not in use, she carries them literally on her person at all times instead of in a bag or suitcase, allowing her to blend in more naturally in areas where there are Ghouls. They include: -Right Arm "Migi" (Rinkaku): A tail-like appendage with many leg-like cilia that ends in a poisonous pincer like an insect. The tail's appearance most strongly resembles the spider-tailed horned viper, and it can expand and contract, giving her arm a longer range of movement (at the cost of opposable thumbs while in use). Pictured here in its inert form. -Left Arm "Hidari" (Koukaku): A giant, club-like arm that's in gross misproportion to the rest of her body. It can be used to shield her and has a powerful punch, and when cocked back it can be fired like a pile-driver in an attack with a slow windup but a devastating finisher, capable of obliterating cars and mortally wounding most Ghouls. -Lower Body "Hara" (Bikaku): Her legs have been harvested from a single Ghoul and take the form of raptor-like insectoid legs that have a powerful kick and can run and jump at incredible speeds. Her maximum jumping height is 240 meters and she can run at 370 kilometres per hour, roughly one-third of mach speed and faster than the human eye can follow. This allows her to keep up with the fastest S and SS-rank Ghouls without an Arata, pursue prey across the city and over extreme vertical obstacles, and even dodge bullets to some limited capacity, much like A and S-rank Ghouls. Pictured here in their inert form. -Face "Me" (Ukaku): A flesh-like covering that hides the left half of her face that was clawed off by a Ghoul, it is easily mistakable for a burn mark, but when it unfolds it becomes six small, featherlike wings capable of firing crystallized Rc cell bullets at high-velocity. Or in other words, a Quinque gun. Like ukaku Ghouls, it has limited stamina and thus limited ammunition, although its exhaustion affects Yuuka little. Therefore she uses it sparingly as a trump card when backed into a corner. Due to the way her prosthetics are designed (and due to the way prosthetics work in general), her nerves must directly interact with the Rc cells in her new limbs in order to control them, meaning she is directly interfacing with Ghoul flesh when using her Quinque. The more of her limbs' powers she uses, the more violent and irrational she becomes, attacking friend and foe without thinking and even losing control of her limbs. The longer and/or harder she fights, the more feral and Ghoul-like she becomes. Whether this is her limbs having an effect on her body and mind or just the result of adrenaline mixing with painkillers and antidepressants is unclear.

Gentle and matronly, with hints of a bottle fairy, Yuuka occupies a curious space between big sister and team mom. She genuinely cares for her subordinates, and doesn't seem to mind that other investigators mock and fear her. Overall she's a hard-working and kind-hearted person who likes to have fun with her subordinates, but when in battle her personality changes completely. She has developed an acute bloodlust towards Ghouls and will attack them viciously without stopping, often continuing long after they are dead. Her behavior towards Ghouls can only be called sadistic and uncaring, thinking little of human traits like civility and empathy and reverting to primal, animalistic fight or flight mechanisms. She doesn't understand what's wrong with this, as she thinks of Ghouls as bestial sub-humans who are not merely evil but monstrous in their thinking and who must be destroyed, like putting down a feral animal. To her, one species must prevail as the rules of nature dictate, so there is nothing wrong with exterminating Ghouls with extreme prejudice.

Yuuka graduated from the CCG Academy at age 20, and was immediately partnered with the man she would later marry, 1st-class Investigator Matsuoka Kenji. The two developed an extremely close bond, and soon began dating. Before long, they were married, with a child on the way. Yuuka worked hard for the sake of her husband and her newly born child, rising through the ranks quickly to become a 1st-class Investigator just like her husband. Together, they took down a record-breaking number of Ghouls, going undefeated and suffering minimal losses for three straight years. That winning streak finally came to an end during a standoff with an S-class Ghoul that crippled Kenji at the cost of its own life. Battered and broken, the victorious couple were separated after Kenji was demoted due to his injury, which prevented him from working in the field. It was this separation that ultimately proved fatal. The CCG had suspected the Ghoul they'd taken down had actually been part of a much larger gang, perhaps even an organization like Aogiri Tree, and in the end they were right. Other members of the group caught Kenji off-hours and without his Quinque, and tortured him for hours before Yuuka and the CCG managed to rescue him. By that time he was mortally wounded and close to dead, a barely recognizable lump of meat, but he still had enough life left in him to warn his grieving wife about the danger that was still to come. He'd overheard some of the Ghouls talking about searching their house. Concerned for their child's safety, Yuuka rushed home, only to be met with the gruesome sight of a Ghoul devouring her three year old son in much the same way a human would dig into a cut of veal. It was this that finally made Yuuka snap. She attacked the Ghoul, breaking all of his limbs and slowly torturing him to death until the CCG finally arrived at the house and restrained her. Since then she has become an even higher-ranking investigator, and years of throwing herself near-suicidally into fights with Ghouls has begun to show. She has lost her arms, parts of her face, and the entire lower half of her body. In an unorthodox decision, she has decided to replace each of her missing parts with Quinque collected from Ghouls she's killed, making her a truly unique Ghoul-killing machine. Recently she's been partnered with the newbie investigator Hisoka.

Because of her limbs and the disturbing way she fights, other investigators fear and loathe her and refer to her by her Ghoul-given nickname "Cannibal Corpse" behind her back. While the CCG's best physicians assure her that mingling her flesh with that of a Ghoul in such a minimally invasive way won't result in the kind of hybridization that creates one-eyed Ghouls and that this increasingly violent behavior is all in her head, it has done little to dissuade other investigators from mocking and belittling her as a race traitor and a half-breed. Her nickname, "Cannibal Corpse", is a combination name that refers to how she obsessively cannibalizes Ghouls so she can make new Quinque, and how she should by all rights be a corpse after all the wounds she's received. Hence "Cannibal Corpse", a half-dead scavenger who's more Ghoul than human.

Ghoul Mask: Name: Bakura Zatachi Nicknames: World Eater Age: 22 Gender: Male Rank: S Kagune: Bakura's Kagune generally takes the shape of 8 harpoon like appendages, with serrated blades that form half way until the end, that come out around the lower area of his back. The color of the appendges is a hue of orange to red with a mixture of purple as well. Bakura is also capable of fusing the appendages to form different shapes, such as claws and etc. Bakura's unique skill with his Kagune is the ability to fuse to fuse a pair of the appendges into 4, thicker appendages that now form heads with only a pair of razor sharp teeth. These heads each usually have a mind of their own when his Kakugan is not activated but move to his whim when it is. He is also capable of feeding through these heads, rather than having to take off his mask. RC Type: Rinkaku Personality: Bakura generally comes off a cold and emotionless person, usually shown with his nearly dead eyes and cold attitude. Bakura usually puts up a gentle front with people who he doesn't hate, but yet he still keeps the dead, cold eyes even with the kind attitude. His views on life are rather bleak and he believes only through strength could you change anything. Biography: Bakura was born and mostly raised in the 6th Ward, being taught how to hunt and fight by his intimidating mother and how to blend in from his gentle father. However, he much preferred spending time with his mother rather than his father. He respected her more than his own father as a child. Eventually, his parents were hunted down by Doves, but he shedded no tears. The time spent with his mother toughened him in order to deal with death. She engraved the saying into his brain "Hunters are never immune to being hunted" As time passed, Bakura grew stronger and eventually became the leader of the 6th Ward as the Doves were preoccupied. He gained the nickname Stinger due to his stinger looking Kagune. But his reign was cut short when a Special Investigator and his associate attacked him in broad daylight and dealt major damage. They believed he had died, however he miraculously managed to survive thanks to the help of Meat, Meat, MEAT! From then on, he began to work at the store during day while working his own schedule during the night under a new alias, World Eater, due to his new ability.

Ghoul Mask: Her mask is a white fox mask, painted with red accents. Name: Hisoka Matsuo Nicknames: Kitsune ((Ghoul Nickname)), Hii/Hii-Chan((Human Nicknames)) Age: 15 Gender: Female Rank: S Kagune: Hisoka's Bikaku resembles a fox tail. It is of a dark blue color and has great flexibility and strength. It will sometimes seem to puff up, part of it standing on end, similar to spines, slicked back slightly. RC Type: Bikaku Personality: Hisoka seems to be your average high school student. She reads a lot but doesn't seem to be popular. She helps people if they need help. Around people she isn't antisocial, but she doesn't talk to everyone. She keeps her distance when she needs to, and knows what to say and when to say it. She analyzes the situation to see wether or not she needs to state anything. She helps people she knows, but doesn't go overboard with her kindness. Mist people who know her enjoy the fact that she keeps to herself when she knows that you don't want yo talk instead of trying to talk to you. But deep underneath she is a sadist. She loves the feel of crushing bone, seeing blood spill. Biography: Hisoka's parents were both ghouls. They managed to teach her how to hunt before they were killed by doves. Hisoka lived alone from that point on, doing freelance work as a journalist. She hunted when she needed to and for fun, enjoying when blood was spilled.

The Koukaku-type Homewrecker takes the shape of a giant axe. One side of the head is blunt, and the other is sharp, allowing for either smashing or slicing, as Yuuma sees fit. Both the handle and head can grow and shrink, giving it versatility, and it can block attacks effectively. It feels light to the user, making it possible to wield, while still being capable of doing plenty of damage. Looks something like this, without the chains and spiked blade-edge:

Yuuma is a sharp, quick-thinking man. He is always observing and noting his surroundings, something he has done his entire life. He's calm and easy-going when off-duty, happy to keep co-workers company and make conversation. On-duty, however, he prefers efficiency -- everything he says is simple and to the point. He always has his job in mind, and everything he does is done to finish that job as quickly and perfectly as he can. Nothing is wasted, neither time nor energy. He has no hatred for ghouls as a species; he simply views them as humans who have the capability to be more dangerous and destructive than your average Joe. He does, however, have a bad habit of categorizing things as either 'good' or 'bad' -- rarely is there a middle ground. When he decides someone is evil, he will go to extreme lengths to kill them, to the point where he often no longer seems sane. Likewise, he does everything he can to protect those he deems 'good.' His criteria for what makes someone 'good' or 'bad' tend to be very loose, and highly affected by his emotional state, but most often boils down to: hurting innocent people, human or ghoul, lands you on his bad side. Yuuma doesn't enjoy fighting and killing, he simply sees it as a necessity.

Like any other child, Yuuma was taught to fear ghouls. All the adults did, so he should too. That belief was challenged one night, when he was seven years old. A frenzied ghoul broke into his home, killing both his parents. The traumatized boy could only stare as he saw the ghoul pulling his father and mother apart, before making his way over to Yuuma, kagune out and ready to strike. Before that could happen, however, a second ghoul entered the picture, and attacked the first. After a short struggle, the frenzied ghoul was dead. The man who had saved Yuuma looked around, and realized that the boy had lost his parents. He picked up the unmoving boy gently, deciding to unofficially adopt him. It took a while for Yuuma to recover from that night, but eventually he did, and greatly warmed up to his adoptive father, who simply went by the name Jun. Jun raised Yuuma as best as he could, getting him to go to school and just generally live a normal, human life. he also taught the young boy about ghouls, and how a lot of them weren't evil monsters like the general public believed. The most important thing Jun passed down to Yuuma was his sense of justice. Jun spent most of his time being a vigilante, killing problematic ghouls and humans alike, always doing his best to protect those who did no wrong. The CCG eventually, inevitably, caught up to him. Yuuma was 12, hanging out in his room, when he heard the loud commotion downstairs. Running down, he saw Jun dead at the feet of two Ghoul Investigators. At that moment, Yuuma hated humans, more than he had ever hated ghouls. They had killed a man who had done nothing but devote his life to keeping innocents safe. The investigators would have killed Yuuma, too, had one not noticed that he wasn't a ghoul in time. From there, he was considered a victim, someone who had been held captive by Jun, and was promptly enrolled into the Academy. During his years there, he grew into his own and shined. He vowed to continue Jun's work, deciding to become as strong as he could to eliminate all the evil in the world. Always the top of his class, he showed great promise, being extremely resourceful, analytical, and efficient. He graduated at 18 and was given the title of Rank 2 Investigator. His very first assignment - a B rank ghoul who worked for another, more important ghoul that the CCG was lacking information on - gave a perfect example of the extreme lengths he'd go to. Simply put, to get closer to the ghoul, Yuuma ate human meat with no hesitation; it was an act that bought him just enough time to capture and extract information from the ghoul, before putting a bullet in his head. During his first two years of service, Yuuma's track record was golden. Every job he had been assigned had been completed, with minimal casualties. He had received his first Quinque, and learnt to wield it well. He was known to disobey orders somewhat regularly, due to his own moral compass, much to the chagrin of his partner, Kazushi, but it always seemed to work out, meaning Yuuma only ever received slaps on the wrist. He didn't like his partner, the leader of the duo, at all. The man was malicious, and loved killing any ghoul he came across. After seeing him cut down a child ghoul, Yuuma resolved to kill him. The opportunity presented itself one fateful night. The assignment was a fairly simple one, and very reminiscent of his first job: the duo were to track down and capture a rank A ghoul, who was part of a small, troublesome gang lead by an S-rank. The goal was to get information on the S rank. The search lead them to an out-of-the way house, which appeared empty at first. It was quickly revealed to be an ambush, with all six members of the gang in question present. It should have been a slaughter -- 5 A-ranked ghouls and an S-rank, up against only two investigators, with the element of surprise on their side. And as it turned out, it was exactly that: a slaughter. Having mapped out the entire house and everything in it in the short time he had walked around inside it, Yuuma developed a plan. He pick-pocketed Kazushi, taking the mans oft-used lighter, and kicked him into the ghouls' clutches, buying himself extra time. He scrambled through the kitchen, ripping a piece of paper off the fridge as he ran by it. He made his way down the hall, three of the ghouls chasing him after him, climbing over one another in a frenzy. He barreled into the house's side-garage, lighting the paper on fire and dropping it near the door. Scooping up two plastic gasoline cans, he tossed them hard at the walls beside the paper, causing them to burst and splash their contents everywhere. The fire immediately caught, and began spreading quickly thanks to how much fuel it had. The ghouls leaped through the fire, kagune's out, ready to tear Yuuma apart. The young man did everything he could to bide his time -- he quickly shot off every bullet in his clip, and then brought down shelves and junk between him and his enemies. The blaze grew and grew, the heat and smoke making everyone's lives harder. All the while, Yuuma eyed the stack of propane tanks in the corner, willing them to explode from the heat. And explode they did, spectacularly. After the first one went off, the rest quickly followed. Intense heat and pain hit Yuuma's right side, and a moment later the entire building started coming down. The young man was lucky; the blast knocked him back, sending him through the wall as it collapsed, out into the cold winter air. He scrambled back, unable to stop himself from groaning in pain. He realized with a little sadness that he had dropped his Quinque, which was now certainly destroyed. His ordeal wasn't quite over yet. The S-ranked ghoul crawled out of the rubble, holding and biting into a charred arm. He was in far worse shape than Yuuma was, but the investigator knew he wouldn't be like that for long. If he was allowed a few moments to eat the arm, he'd certainly be well enough to kill. So Yuuma did the only thing he could think of. He forced himself up and charged, jumping on the surprised ghoul and pinning him to the ground, raining violent blows down on his face. A weakened version of the ghouls kagune emerged, quickly striking at Yuuma. Yuuma reacted, knocking it downwards, causing it to pierce into the lower-left half of his stomach -- it hurt, but was far better than taking it in the chest. Driven by pain and adrenaline, Yuuma grabbed a nearby splintered piece of wood, and viciously drove it into the weak ghoul over and over. The kagune eventually receded out of Yuuma's stomach, and the exhausted boy realized his target was dead -- along with everyone else who had been in the building. He passed out right there, filled with pride and satisfaction that he'd been able to remove so much evil from existence in one night, no matter how lucky he had gotten. When he woke up he was in a hospital, burns covering the entire outside of his right arm, all the way up his neck and ending just on the bottom right of his jaw. This would leave a noticeable scar. He spent the next year recovering from his injuries and getting back into shape, while enjoying his small amount of new-found fame for single-handedly killing the gang of ghouls. He's finally been cleared for active-duty, and has received his new Quinque, Homewrecker, created from the S-ranked he killed. Now his goal is to get promoted, so he can go after more dangerous ghouls.

Shina is by all intents and purposes a strong woman. She is what has been described as "beefy as hell" by other investigators, and by extension not the lightest or thinnest woman. Virtually always wearing an eyepatch and having her entire arms covered in shallow scars make a very veteran-y expression and fittingly, she radiates an aura of authority from every pore.

Quinque: (Only the weapon, not the crazy chick wielding it, duh!) "Misery", a giant spiked sword similar to a grater in its functionality. It was once a Koukaku-style Kagune and retains the former attributes of being extremely heavy, slow and devastating. Its surface appears in a metallic shine as is typical for Koukaku-Kagunes but is also stained with the blood of countless ghouls and convicted humans, complementing the already horrific look of the weapon. The appearance of the weapon is that of a giant, clunky greatsword with numberless rough spiked extensions on both broad sides of the edge. These are often called "teeth" and turn every single slashing motion into a brutal cut that can easily ravage most of a humanoid body beyond recognition, be it human or ghoul. Furthermore, the user can utilize the broad side to smack a victim, likely breaking numerous bones or weaker kagunes with one impact, impaling and scraping off skin of the victim with the teeth. The major application of this weapon is to overpower an enemy, as many stronger ghouls tend to underestimate the force of impact such a weapon can have in the hands of a mere human. Misery is exceptionally solid and could probably pulverize a tank with very few strikes, taking barely a scratch from it. Needless to say, Shina has to utilize the full extend of her physical power to use the weapon, despite it being made lighter than the original Kagune by modifications to the RC-structure. Obviously, its weight renders the weapon near useless against foes that specialize in evasion rather than defense, but even those kinds of ghouls have eaten a surprising follow-up attack every once in a while. A special functionality of the Quinque that is mostly used as Morizumis trump card is the whip-blade form, which splits the sword into four pieces connected by a crimson colored, flexible and thick wire. The wire itself is harmless, but this form gives the four giant chunks of hurt deceptively high range, a boost in speed and makes them harder to predict. She still owns the old, nameless Quinque she used before Misery was made, but hasn't used it since. It roughly resembles the shape of a telescopic baton. While lacking piercing properties, the weapon excels at breaking the opponents guard, swatting away a defensively held Kagune to open up for the follow-up attack of more offensively oriented partners, or cracking porous and structurally weak Kagunes so they can be destroyed by a piercing type of Quinque.

Personality: Shina can essentially be seen in three different, separate states of mind. Those are, contrary to rumors in the CCG, not the result of a mental disorder. They are her conscious way of coping with the job as opposed to split personalities! If someone asks her about it, she usually just shrugs with an unphased expression. The first personality is the most commonly known one, that of a dutiful and exact investigator. The kind of person who pins you on every word you say, makes sure that everyone is following the rules and doesn't tolerate exceptions. People revolting against regulations are confronted, warned and eventually threatened into submission, as no human has yet managed to keep their cool when facing the brutal Quinque Misery. Towards ghouls, she acts merciless and mostly cold. She feels no joy in killing a helpless or weakened ghoul, but doesn't hesitate to do so if the mission requires it. If there is a part of her that believes in peaceful, 'innocent' ghouls, she manages to hide it well. The second is a careless, fun-loving Shina that is seen only outside of the job. The young woman is living a somewhat carefree and relaxed life in her free time, essentially oblivious to the dangers and horrors of her daily occupation. Some people take their work home because they can't let go, Shina is the exact opposite. After a shift, she takes off her work clothing, heads into the shower room and comes out as a wholly different person, leaving the exemplary investigator in there. This whole persona is possibly a deception, to both hide her actual occupation as a Dove and act innocent or harmless to the people in her daily routine. Be it deception or repression, in this state of mind she appears forgetful about the existence of ghouls and often acts like they're nothing more than an urban legend. The third Shina is unknown to most, as essentially only her partners have seen it. This is the most unsettling one and it only comes out if a ghoul proves to be a challenge for her. In this case, she will let go of her hesitations, restraints and the stiff workplace mindset to endulge in a ruthless duelling bloodlust. During these phases, she ecstatically enjoys the fight and throws herself into battle with reckless abandon, often surprising even hardy ghouls with her borderline insane demeanor. This is when she actually fights the best as she will utilize the momentum of her Quinque into wild spinning motions and follow-up attacks, but it comes at a cost. She will tunnel vision completely on her chosen victim and not stop chasing it down, ignorant to collateral damage, orders or her own health until the ghoul is either smashed into bloody mucus or manages to escape. Those who have seen the third persona of hers swear that she's a demon hiding behind multiple layers of sheep's clothing. Generally this part of her is misunderstood, however. Though it might very well seem so, she is not ecstatic about killing ghouls. Instead, she enjoys hunting and fighting a worthy opponent too much for her own good. This part of her psyche surfaced the first time when she lost her eye. There is no doubt that one day, this 'passionate' part of hers will be her demise.

Biography: Shina Morizumi, like countless others, lost most of her family to ghouls. However, she only realized it after working for the CCG already. As the child of an averagely wealthy family, Shina lost both parents and her sister when she was no more than three years old. She witnessed a seemingly friendly man knock on their door, enter the house and lull the family in with false friendlyness before eating them in front of the childs eyes. The man left the toddler until last, to be the 'cherry on top' so to say, but the CCG caught up with him and drove him out of the house before he could finish his gruesome meal. Shina was too young to understand what was really happening, luckily. She grew up as the adoptive child of a woman already working for the CCG, being told that she was her aunt and that her parents were simply gone. Shina never felt the urge to inquire how exactly they died, subconsciously avoiding the truth that was already cemented in inaccessable memory. Not realizing she was shoehorned into attending CCG-Academy, she thought it was the best thing in the world. It had exciting training involved, was about hunting and fighting monsters with amazing weaponry and resulted in doing something 'good' for the world, in her opinion. The girl wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, but she barely graduated thanks to her exceptional bodily fitness and motivation. To think that she'd end up being the stiff, rule-abiding role model investigator one day would have sounded like a joke to her, at that time. But suddenly, things didn't seem so shiny anymore. The exemplary heroism she always had in mind was nowhere to be found on the actual battlefield. It was a gruesome, exhausting and outright unfair job where the 'good guys' were hopelessly inferior to those they were supposed to hunt. It was a cruel twist of fate when Shina had to see her friends from the academy die at her feet, and at first she blamed herself for all the death around her, both investigators and civilians, sometimes even ghouls. She fell into depression and trained harder, but never let her guard down. She survived where others didn't and eventually managed to kill her first low-ranking ghoul with nothing more than her very human reflexes and a handgun. A man named Ryoto, rank 1 investigator, noticed her impressive dedication and secretly began observing the rookie outgrow her training wheels. After her third takedown he notified his superiors and initiated her promotion, as such talent and commitment had to be supported. At first, Shina didn't even like the idea. Working in a two-man team was a lot more personal than working in a faceless group of many, and the self-preservation instinct in her realized that the CCG just painted a much larger target on her forehead. The notion of learning to use a Quinque on the other hand, evening out the odds in a one-on-one situation, appealed to the survivor. Ryoto volunteered to train her as his partner, and so Morizumi became what she was until very recently - a rank 2 investigator. In order to widen the girls horizon and drive her away from the ego-trip that kept her alive until now, Ryoto ordered a special Quinque for her, its effectivity almost entirely based on teamwork. It came without surprise that Shina hated it. Being overly reliant on someone else was -in her book- a weakness, and after all the losses in her first year on duty made her reluctant to bond with the man who did so much to support her. While she adapted to the training the rank 1 had in mind for her and they became a potent team that could take on any target, it took almost two years for her to drop her guard around Ryoto and accept him as a friend and partner. That, however, made the following events only harder. While it remains unclear if the clown-mask was the actual puppeteer, the dead monster was successfully identified as "Ogre" and retrospectively declared S-class. His Kagune was forged into the weapon that is now known as Misery and rightfully dreaded by large parts of the ninth districts ghoul population. Shina Morizumi came to realization that it was wrong to blame herself for all those years. She survived, Ryoto didn't. He made the mistake, not her. Her intuition to follow the rules was right and his wasn't. While she was still grateful for his support and mourned his loss, she also despised him for this final chapter in her training. She shelved her old Quinque for being a reminder of her ended partnership, and took up the unique Quinque "Misery" as both a trophy of her achievement in surviving Ogre and a symbol of her realization that in the end, everyone stands or falls alone. While the CCG gave her the option to receive a naturally looking replacement for her eye or even a high tech prototype with several perks and features, Shina remained adamant in her request to use a pitch black glass eye, resembling that of a ghoul. While this is absolutely worthless as a "disguise" - ghouls can smell the difference after all - it serves a purpose still. Like many aspects of her style, it's provocation, a mockery. The target painted on her forehead became one of her greatest allies in fighting ghouls and with Misery she only needs a tiny opening, a brief moment of inattention or underestimation to land a killing blow. Since ghouls usually bathe in their superiority over their human opponents, this is a gamble with the dices rigged in her favor. Despite the glass eye, she often wears an eyepatch that only comes off when fighting a serious battle, where she needs to provocate her opponent as much as humanly possible. Her reliance on the weapon Misery has gotten her that exact alias in ghoul society and the CCG equally. When referring to "Misery", people usually mean her -and- the weapon, as they're virtually inseperable. In the ninth ward, it is often used jeeringly to describe what she has in stock for her current partner. Shina had a number of partners after the incident, but most of them requested to change teams before long, deeming her unfit for teamwork but admitting her talent. That and the occasional casualty on her more destructive rampages prevented her from ranking up for a time, and eventually the ninth ward ran out of investigators to pair her with. The solution to the problem seemed as simple as effective: internal rumors were spread that the clown-mask moved to the 8th district, and less than twenty-four hours later Shina had her transferral request filled out and handed in. Satisfied with the turn of events, the 9th ward finally promoted her to rank 1 investigator and approved the transferral. Should the 8th deal with her. Shina keeps an actual headcount of her statistical kills, but not to boast and only to measure her own success. It counts as follows. 54 ghouls: S-rank - 2 A-rank - 12 B-rank - 35 C-rank - 5 17 convicted humans 4 casualties
