Personality [ ]

— Game transmission description

Shiki is a talented seamstress, even making her own clothes and Mr. Mew, her blimp cat doll. She is interested in manner and wishes to become a fashion designer one twenty-four hour period. She has such a smashing eye for item, that she even notices one of Neku'south buttons on his shorts are loose, and quickly fixes it for him. It is heavily implied Shiki, Eri, or both of them had a preference for the make D+B. In NEO: The World Ends with You lot, Shiki and Eri open upwardly their own apparel line together, Gatto Nero, which has a shop within 104. This make has grown to take Shibuya past tempest becoming a favorite among its inhabitants notably including Shoka Sakurane.

When Shiki is starting time met within the story, she has but taken on the appearance as Eri. Because of this, she spends almost of the first week interim equally what she sees Eri as. This causes her to human action incredibly bubbly and upbeat, ever trying to make the best of a bad state of affairs. Nigh the end of the first week, Shiki begins to become her truthful self again and stop trying to be Eri, although even prior to that, her real traits can still be seen.

Shiki is still incredibly compassionate. Shiki tries to the all-time of her abilities to assistance others and her kindness becomes the catalyst for Neku changing his perspective of other people every bit 'simply holding [him] dorsum'. Shiki's kindness is evident throughout the first week, where she always suggests that Neku and she make employ of their abilities to help other people: for example, purging Dissonance possession and freeing people from the negative emotions overwhelming them. She is also excited when Beat suggests working together, along with him and Rhyme, despite being 'rival' Players. Rhyme, Beat and Shiki quickly became fast friends, which suggests Shiki has a particularly affable nature.

Neku afterwards Shiki annoys him.

She tries to befriend Neku but her cheery mental attitude clashes with his rather contemptuous view well-nigh other people at the time. In the early parts of week one, the two ofttimes contend when he shuts downward her efforts to get to know her partner. In the Japanese version, Shiki tries to become him to know her on a first proper noun basis when they offset meet, resulting in offending Neku. Nevertheless, Shiki continues to brand the effort to work alongside Neku since she believes in them both and is determined that neither of them get erased. Even after Neku attempts to erase her at Uzuki'south command, Shiki quickly forgives Neku and even attempts to shift the arraign to herself.

Nonetheless, Shiki is also very outspoken and rarely hesitates to vocalize or complain about things which annoy her. When she is upset, she can be stubborn and headstrong, even if she doesn't mean to. Shiki sometimes does something with good intentions, just comes across as obviously rude to Neku, such as when she took off Neku's shorts to fix his push against his volition, despite his protests. While she viewed this as a kind activeness, trying to help him, Neku saw it every bit an invasion of privacy. She tin also be viewed as disregarding Neku's feelings occasionally; for example, when Neku says he does not care about wearing trendy clothing and volition clothing what he wants, Shiki tells him, "Ugh, no, y'all tin can't practise that!" As time goes on, Shiki becomes less decision-making and learns to respect and value Neku's feelings and boundaries more.

Shiki continuing up for herself.

Shiki is an incredibly loyal person, as seen past the very fact she sticks by Neku even subsequently he upsets her greatly - such as when he tries to kill her, or lashes out at her afterward Rhyme'due south death. This is as well displayed with how she waited iii years to be reunited with Neku following the events of the original game. She is loyal to her all-time friend, Eri, too, despite the fact of her deep jealousy and that their final words were ones of anger. She frequently consults her phone in the early days of the first week, addressing the phone'southward wallpaper that is a movie of herself and Eri, speaking to it as if she is talking to Eri.

Shiki is quite observant, often picking upward on pocket-size details and emotions that overlook. For case, she notices Rhyme'due south pendant and praises her brother - non realizing that this is Crush - for being so thoughtful to exist able to buy such a rare souvenir for his footling sis. She enjoys people-watching the diverse population of Shibuya, and the diverse perspectives that come with it. This observancy makes her also quite resourceful: she is able to solve issues as they encounter them, such as finding the go out in A-East on Day iii, and the ability to interfere with decision-making in the Realground on Day v.

Shiki talks most her self-hatred.

Despite her cheerful attitude, Shiki feels junior and useless to others, making her extremely jealous of her friend Eri. It is somewhen revealed that Shiki hated herself. She had such low self esteem that she lacked self-compassion. She tells Neku she was "never pretty or smart" and that there was zero special almost her at all. Additionally, Neku lashing out at her, despite her best efforts, causes her to farther blame herself for their communication difficulties, worsening her cocky-esteem. Shiki's struggle with feeling inferior to Eri fabricated her become obsessed with her identity to the betoken her identity became the nearly important affair in her life.

Shiki realizing the meaning of her entry fee.

On Twenty-four hour period 6, after being mocked by Higashizawa over her self-loathing at the end of the previous day, Shiki is thrown into such a state of despair that she does listen letting herself get erased; when Neku tells her they need to do the mission, Shiki replies, "...And then what? There's no point... Even if I come back to life... I'll all the same simply be me." After Neku discovers Shiki's secret, he encourages her and she feels reassured in who she is, becoming more than cheerful, peculiarly after hearing how much Eri missed her and how Neku likes her the way she already is. Shiki then chooses to encompass her own identity, making a promise to herself not compare herself to other people so much, and she becomes determined to live once again.

In Another Twenty-four hours, Shiki is an avid histrion of Tin Pin Slammer, similar everybody else in the alternate universe. She joins Neku to help him observe the stolen pins during the Tin Pin Tournament. While she seems to take inexplicably kept Eri'south appearance, Another 24-hour interval'due south Joshua explains that she does in actual fact look like her Realground self, and the player simply sees what they expect, even though it isn't the truth. He also hints that he is aware of the real-world development procedure of The World Ends with You, and obliquely claims that creating battle sprites of Shiki's RG appearance exclusively for the semi-catechism bonus chapter would have been a lot to inquire of an already-taxed development team, for not much added value.

The Animation [ ]

As with many characters in The Animation, Shiki acts like she did in the original Japanese script than the English language localization. This noticeably causes her to act more polite; she never really acts rude to Neku or becomes seriously angry at him like the English game. She also seems a chip more upfront and honest with Neku, revealing that the players of the Reapers' Game are deceased. In the game, even afterwards learning Neku has amnesia, Shiki never reveals this truth or asks him personal questions about his death, potentially to spare his horror and feelings as they already know erasure is a reality.

She could too be seen as existence more clever than her game counterpart; in The Animation, Shiki prevents the Noise from appearing by fixing Mina and Ai's statement using imprinting, which Neku suggested in the game, and is able to deduce that Neku'south amnesia is caused by his memories beingness his entry fee. She also overcomes her self-esteem and jealousy bug slightly earlier than her game version (due to the order of the days beingness switched around). Instead of Neku giving Shiki a talk about how she needs to live her life like the game, Shiki is able to proceed with less motivation from Neku.

When Shiki was creating Mr. Mew, a classmate named Eri approached her, leading the two to become shut friends, despite Shiki feeling inferior to her.

• Shiki is Neku'southward only partner to non largely get by a nickname (although Neku calls her "stalker" before getting to know her).

This information also suggests she is close to turning sixteen years onetime and is about one-half a year older than Neku.
• Shiki and Neku placed seventh on Nintendo Ability's list of gaming'southward acme couples in their Feb 2011 effect.
• The entirety of Shiki's real confront is left unseen until NEO: The World Ends with Y'all.

• Shiki was designed by Miki Yamashita in NEO: The Earth Ends With You.
