She found that though she was fairly skilled art the art, she was no where near as talented as her older sister Azome. Her sister tried to tell her different and she might be right but she couldn't take the strictness of the masters and preferred trying it alone. It gave her time to practice other weapons in case all water was gone in an area or in a tight spot. It seemed all was practically perfect, that is until their mother got really sick and no matter how much anyone tried it just wasn't getting better. Shizue even tried herself once when her mother was sleeping, hoping that maybe she could do it but it hadn't done anything. Her mother still faded away, smiling even in her last moments and saying goodbye to them all for the last time. Their father was a mess, his heart broken as he had held out much hope of her getting well and not even leaving her side the second she was found sick. It left an empty feeling in her own heart but she didn't let it get her down, fighting to stay happy and strong for her dad as well as Azome. It was long before their father on the other hand felt like they needed to get away, away from the place where he could see his wife in every person and every turn. He thought about joining his sister in the Southern Water Tribe but decided against it, having a feeling even their he would be haunted with the memory so instead he went to Republic City to start a new life. Unfortunately, it wasn't long after the move that he too passed from the world as his heart was too broken to hold out which left the two daughters to fend for themselves. During this time, Shizue and Azome relied heavily on each other, eventually both deciding to leave the North and travel around. Their exploring landed them and their pets in Republic City where they have lived ever since.

She was hunting, trying to practice a better aim along with the fact she was tired of having fish since she wasn't having much luck with anything else. It was then that she saw it,a large Addapard, it being occupied by what she assumed was a fresh kill or maybe even grazing so she took her shoot. Shizue rushed over in excitement but then felt her heart drop at what the beasts attention had been on. A small cub, its eyes not even open. Shizue felt like she might be sick, not even being able to look at the kill she had just made and not feeling right about eating the creature now. She carefully scooped up the cub, taking it with her and taking care of the poor boy by being its mother. Mitsuru is now her close companion.
