Description
Risa Shiramine, known in-game as Sally, is an accomplished gamer whose real-world expertise informed her NewWorld Online journey. Initially barred from playing by her mother until passing proficiency exams, she later introduced her friend Kaede Honjou (Maple) to the VRMMORPG. Choosing the swashbuckler class with twin daggers, Sally deliberately complemented Maple's defensive shield build to ensure their party "would never take any damage," bypassing a conventional mage support role and showcasing her strategic foresight.
Sally's avatar mirrors her real-world appearance, featuring ash-brown hair and eyes, often tied with a white ribbon. After an initial beginner outfit similar to Maple's, she acquired unique indestructible armor from an underwater orca-like boss in the Underground Lake Labyrinth. This set includes a gray-and-blue coat with a silver breastplate, extremely short jeans, striped socks, knee-high boots, and ornate daggers (Dagger of the Depths and Abyss Dagger). It provides stat boosts to AGI, STR, INT, and DEX, alongside skills like Mirage for visual decoys and Ocean for creating water pools that slow enemy agility.
Extroverted, cautious, and creative, Sally devises unconventional strategies. She exhibits a playful yet aggressive streak in PvP, famously terrorizing players to steal silver medals during the second event's final days, earning the moniker "Untouchable Blue Monster." Conversely, she harbors an intense fear of horror elements, actively avoiding haunted areas like the sixth game world unless accompanied by Maple. Her real-world traits, including exceptional reflexes and swimming prowess, enhance her agility-based combat style.
Her combat prowess centers on evasion and speed, with AGI as her primary stat. Key skills augment this: Sword Dance increases her strength by 1% per dodged attack (capping at 100%), and Super Acceleration boosts AGI by 50. Her diverse skill set encompasses physical techniques like Sword Fencing, multi-hit slashes (Double Slash to Quintuple Slash), and Taijutsu throws; elemental magic including Water Magic II (Water Ball, Water Wall) and Wind Magic III (Wind Cutter, Cyclone Cutter); and unique abilities like Ancient Sea, summoning fish to reduce enemy agility. She also employs Phantom World for clones and Empty Shell, nullifying fatal hits once daily while boosting agility. Sally utilizes psychological tactics, inventing fake skills like "Attack Guidance" and "Stream" during a duel to mislead rivals. Equipment like the Legs of the Dead enables A Step Towards the Underworld, creating aerial footholds at a temporary stat cost.
Sally evolved from a solo player to a collaborative Maple Tree guild officer, co-founded with Maple. She later recruited members like Kasumi, Kanade, and Mai and Yui. She demonstrated leadership coordinating top guilds (Order of the Holy Sword and Flame Emperor) to defeat a leviathan boss when developers altered event parameters. Her combat style refined through encounters; battling Dread led her to emulate his instinct and fear-based methods to improve evasion. She obtained a fox companion, Oboro, after defeating the Silverwing boss, gaining shadow clones and fire spells.
Key development moments include her aggressive "Red Moon Massacre" medal hunt during the second event and her haunted house exploration with Maple in the sixth world. Initially paralyzed by fear leading to failure, she later returned with Maple to conquer it, showing incremental growth facing her phobia. Her central relationship with Maple balances tactical guidance with Maple's unorthodox playstyle during shared lighthearted activities. Post-events, she strategically saves medals for new content.
