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.
