Matsuo Shima claims to have found ‘Shima’ walking naked along the beach

outside his home and adopted her as his own child.  She has never said anything

to contradict this story and treats him as a favored uncle, no matter how much

the others have come to dislike him and question where his production money

comes from.  She doesn’t seem to recall any life before her life as his ‘daughter’

and her codename is something of a private joke, as Matsuo thinks himself

quite the dragon in his own circles.  She seems to have no education outside

of what Matsuo has provided, biased strongly towards what his old world

machismo thinks ‘a woman should know’ leaving her rather ignorant of the

rest of the outside world.  Entering the Seven Samurai show as the element

of Water, her true home, she quickly rose to become the most popular character

on the show thanks to her beauty, grace and occasional seemingly naïve wit.

 

Now that the show has ended, she begged and cajoled and even (vainly) tried

to subtly outmaneuver her somewhat frightening and oppressive ‘father’ to

let her go to New Zealand, finally getting permission from him to go away

‘for a brief time’ to do voice-over, although he has promised to come visit

often…  She knows far more than she admits behind her pert smile and vacant

gaze, and is quite aware that Matsuo is in the local Yakuza and that the show

was cancelled not because of lack of ratings, but because of the death of one

of the rarely mentioned ‘twins,’ Yin, a shadow-manipulator, and Yang, a

blazing solar fire-generator.  She also knows that ‘Yin’ was working on

‘personal business’ for Matsuo when she met her death and that her brother

quit immediately thereafter, pretty much ending any chance at ‘Seven’

Samurai…

 

As for the remaining members, she has a strong attraction for Mark, which

he does not seem to reciprocate, treating her like a child (and her Mentor /

father seems extremely displeased by the notion, which only makes him

more attractive in her eyes).  She finds Yama sweet but he stutters terribly

whenever she tries to talk to him and she gets embarrassed on his behalf.

Chan is odd, she’s not sure what he thinks he is hiding, or why any of his

friends would care, it’s not like she has produced a past for his inspection

Torii seems incapable of enjoying any part of life, always wrapped up in her

causes.
