Shion Uzuki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The side of her optimism-like originated in her feeling of nothingness * Individual Attributes Gender: female Born: T.C. 4745, age 22 Height: 163cm (~5'4") Weight: 48kg (~106.lbs) * Affiliation Affiliated with Vector Industry's 1st R&D Division. Chief developer of the KOS- MOS (Kosmos Obey Strategic Multi-purpose Operation System) Development Project Integrated Operation System. * Enneagram Type According to Enneagram personality classification, Shion is classified in her behavior aspect with a type-7 characteristic (talent-rich, impulsive, extreme, high-spirited{?}). In a healthy state, type-7s show interest in everything around them; they are active, and they can yield spectacular results. However, within relationships to others, it is the case that this kind of personality goes too far, endlessly searching for new stimulus. Shion is of this type of condition. The more they act and the more they search, the more they become unable to be satisfied. In very serious times, they are convinced that they have been "robbed", and even become as if greedily wanting everything. At an unhealthy state such as this, they become self-centered, and in order to satisfy their own desires, they may even make violent demands from others. * View on life & death For Shion, life was something that should be called "a state that differs from death". Shion, who saw the death of her parents at a very young age and saw the death of a loved-one a few years ago, felt that her own life was always right next- door to death. Therefore, she came to possess the view of life&death where life, which "does not go beyond the state of not being dead", places a leg in death. However one wishes for life, death visits like an unavoidable fate. No matter how deeply one wished to escape death, no matter how deeply those around him also wanted not to die, death mercilessly visits. Based on experience, the dark feeling of the nothingness of death was controlling Shion's life. Because of that very thing, as if turning her eyes away from death, Shion immersed herself in work to an abnormal degree. By turning her eyes away from death and hiding her head in the work that was before her eyes, she was able to forget the feeling of nothingness. It came to be that it gives her strength in a realistic meaning. Her blindly optimistic speech and conduct is something that stemmed from her feeling of nothingness. * Hilbert Effect Shion held strong hopes in the Hilbert Effect. To Shion, who continues to face the notion of death, the Gnosis were horrifying existences. As existences that give death to the self, they are not merely subjects of a realistic fear. They were symbols of terror, as the unavoidable-death itself. By physically affixing those Gnosis, and dragging them down into the same dimension as the self, there was conquest in theory. The Hilbert Effect was the sole possibility that could overcome the fear towards death. It was the only way to strike death, which is a fear that lurks within the mind, with one's own hand. For that sake, the Hilbert Effect was indispensable technology. Her hopes were expressed through enthusiasm towards the development of the Hilbert Effect that was installed in KOS-MOS. It was also an illogical zeal, performing an experiment with a life-threatening situation for the sake of conquering the fear of death, like the experiment inside the encephalon. * Physical ability There is the tendency for a person involved in technology to not do physical training at all. However, Shion is greatly deviating from that kind of expectation. It may be a big factor that her grandfather was a martial-artist. Through the combination of both high innate genes {"nature"} and learned environmental factors {"nurture"}, it is thought that Shion's superior athletic ability came to be improved. In order to draw out the body's held potential, effective training is essential. Also, if there doesn't exist talent that can be stretched by training, it is estimated that skill will not improve past a regular point. Only a person with both talent and training is able to approach a person's limits. Due to both nature and nurture, Shion's body is in a place that approaches a person's limits. The fight with combat-use Realians; the fight with Gnosis that had been affixed by the Hilbert Effect; and the fight with the URTV Albedo. Participating in a battle that greatly deviates from a person's limits-- is the person that survives it the owner of uncommon luck? Or she may just be a person who excels in physical ability. In that meaning, Shion proved the existence of a body that was trained up as such. If one thing can be added, in the MWS (Multiple Weapon System) that Shion equipped, a provisional logical drive was included in order to allow for the enhancement of strike-time power and counter-balance weight. Due to that, the MWS becomes manageable even by a powerless human. However, dealing with high spec and using it in actual battle are two entirely different problems. The fact that Shion was able to wield the MWS is not a question of spec-- it is because she possessed the fight-sense that can utilize it successfully in combat.
