Description
Shion Shishibe, a 16-year-old aspiring potter, once dedicated herself to reviving the traditional "Himeno wares" her grandfather sought to preserve—a legacy shattered when the Asian army seized her family’s land, driving her into hiding within an abandoned kiln. This exile propelled her into the resistance group Yatagarasu, where she pilots the MAILeS YM-03 Reiki, a nimble mecha armed with a jet pack and naginata, mirroring her expertise as a national-level practitioner of the weapon.
Reserved yet sharp-minded, Shion outmaneuvers rivals in Shogi and Go, her strategic intellect masking initial reluctance toward combat. That hesitation dissolved when Reiki’s AI unit, Nayuta—a flippant self-proclaimed "Angelo"—rejected all pilots but her. Nayuta’s irreverent loyalty forged a bridge between Shion’s artistic roots and battlefield demands, anchoring her place in Yatagarasu.
Reiki’s lightweight frame prioritizes aerial speed and precision, wielding heated vibrating blades and an electric net launcher to compensate for its fragility. Shion exploits this agility, evading assaults to strike surgically. Her resolve, however, frayed under trauma: a comrade’s death triggered a Heroic BSoD, paralyzing her mid-battle, while witnessing allies fall tested her commitment. Gradually, she channeled grief into guardianship, shielding civilians—especially children—and nurturing solidarity within the resistance.
Her fight extends beyond survival. By reclaiming her family’s land, Shion seeks to resurrect Himeno pottery, intertwining cultural preservation with rebellion. This ethos draws her to resilient figures like Suletta Mercury, whose defiance she mirrors. Among Yatagarasu’s pilots, she balances camaraderie with playful rivalry, dominating strategy games even as peers vie fiercely.
Antagonists like Brad Watt, whose tactical genius jeopardized the resistance, forced Shion to confront fear itself. Her evolution from reluctant recruit to resolute protector embodies the fusion of personal ambition and collective struggle—a potter’s hands now steering both clay and combat, each strike a step toward reclaiming heritage.
