Description
Remy Shimada endured a French childhood defined by maternal neglect and social isolation. After her mother's death, she survived as a street urchin, demonstrating early resilience through physical confrontations with harassers. A pivotal moment occurred when she fell into a deep trench, resigning to death until encountering five spirit-like figures representing her future teammates, who promised future companionship.
Before joining Good Thunder, she worked as a spy. A mission failure led to capture and imprisonment, where she attempted suicide by slitting her wrists with glass from a shattered locket. This act was interrupted by an intervention implied to be Captain Sabarath's.
Decades later, near age seventy, she suffered a severe hovercar accident en route to a team reunion. Medical examinations revealed a concealed terminal illness, granting only a five percent survival probability post-accident. Comatose, she experienced intertwined dream states: one in a surreal Middle Eastern-inspired city where inhabitants received "blood baptisms" foretelling death dates, another revisiting traumatic childhood memories.
These dreams delivered a death prophecy and featured pursuit by a menacing girl with a panther-like beast symbolizing fate. Her former teammates appeared in youthful forms, aiding battles against hostile townsfolk and corrupt police. Notable moments included a bar brawl fought in an evening dress and a vision of blood pouring from a showerhead, dismissed with detached wit.
The climax unfolded in a desert sequence where, weakened and injured, she confronted the beast. Strapping a revolver to her injured hand, she propped herself against a cross-shaped gravestone bearing her name and fired her last bullet to defeat it—a literal and metaphorical defiance of predetermined death.
Her relationship with teammate Leonardo Medici Bundle contained romantic undertones, evidenced by flirtatious interactions and artistic illustrations implying mutual affection. Recurring themes included rejecting fatalism, the sustaining power of found family, and heroic legacy's persistence. The narrative obscured her elderly appearance, emphasizing heroes' timeless presence in memory. The story concluded ambiguously regarding survival, though imagery of her team reverting to youthful forms suggested enduring legacy over mortality.
