Nekozuka Shino

A self-proclaimed true cat ninja who wields the Demon Blade Murasame and a member of the Satomi Hachi-nyan Ninjas. She is supposed to be serving the hero in similar fashion to Ritsu and Maya, but she shows up alongside of Himari. Since she is the silent type of very few words, even her comrades think that it is hard to even guess what is on her mind at any given time. When the chips are down and her friends need her, she usually takes an all too galant stance and actively steps to the forefront, but this has the unfortunate result of making people think that she's a combat enthusiast and that the red from fresh blood is her favorite color, among other such misconceptions. Thing is, she is so shy and introverted that she can't even bring it in herself to refute those claims (even ones by her own teammates). She needs kindness and understanding. Also, she is a dog, not a cat. No doubt about it.

“Mm-hmm.”
