Biography[]
A Native American woman, with the power of Fusion, which she controls by making contracts, called Soul Pacts, with spirits in order to use their powers. She's hunting the mysterious villain known simply as Lady in order to avenge her murdered tribe. Cold and single-minded, she and her companion Natan travel the continent looking for Lady so that she may have her revenge. Shania's element is darkness (unlike Yuri Hyuga from previous games, this does not changes depending on which fusion excluding her fourth fusion), and she uses twin tomahawks to fight. Later on, she is infected with malice by Lady.
Appearance[]
Shania wears the Garvoy woman warrior's outfit, which is very complicated itself to explain. She wears a crop top hung by yellow strings around her neck with a large peephole showing the red sash supporting her breasts, elbow warmers and brown bracelets. She has very short shorts over red underwear, and she has a brown belt with pockets which hold her axes. She has red high heels and red decorations wrapped around her legs, and a red ribbon tied up her blond hair. Most of her clothing is white, red, and blue.
Personality[]
A cold individual, Shania rarely displays any extreme form of emotion besides anger. Her quest for vengeance has led her to become a cold and independent woman. Exceptions to her detached attitude toward others are Natan, her partner, and Johnny Garland. The latter of which develops a sort of romantic tension with Shania over the course of the story.
Fighting Style[]
Even though she has the power of fusion she has a high attack level, and uses twin tomahawks to fight.
Shania is unfortunately unable to equip a stellar chart but her fusion abilities make up for it. Her abilities are based after the type of spirit she fuses in to.
Her first three fusion forms are innately Dark, using spells of Dark and two other elements (with the exception of Thunderbird, who uses only Air and Dark spells). Completing the Garvoy sidequest unlocks both the game's good ending and a fourth fusion, Tirawa, which is Non-Elemental.
She can have up to five Hit areas on the Judgement Ring
