Personal Information
Shiori Misaka (Seiyuu: Akemi Satou), born in February 1 1983, aged 15-16. Height is 157cm (5'2"). Weight is 43kg (95lbs). Measurements are 79cm - 53cm - 80cm (31" - 21" - 31"). Hair and eye color is grayish-brown and blue respectively.
Shiori Misaka (栞 美坂) is a first-year student who has suffered from an illness since birth. Her affliction has caused her to become very physically weak, and is almost always absent from school because of it. She loves drama and is always inventing reasons for things that happen in her life, but the real-life drama of a sister who denies her and a life threatened by illness is encroaching on her. Strangely enough, sick as she is, Shiori thinks nothing of sitting outside the school for hours on end while eating ice cream in the middle of winter, despite Yuuichi Aizawa telling her several times to go home and rest. Due to her illness it is not strange for her to carry around an array of different pills and drugs for her many ailments.She has a noticeably quiet voice, though is not afraid about adding a smart-alec remark during a conversation in an attempt to sound cooler. Shiori informed Yuuichi early on that the reason she disobeys her doctors' advice and comes to school so frequently is that she wants to meet someone she knows.
Shiorii Misaka meets Yuuichi the day
after he arrives in town. He is out with Ayu Tsukimiya when Yuuichi finally
remembers that he had known Ayu from seven years ago. Ayu, very happy about
meeting him again after so long, goes in for a hug, but Yuuichi dodges causing
Ayu to smack into a tree. The result of which causes snow to fall from the tree
onto a passing Shiori. She had been carrying groceries she had bought earlier
which were now strewn on the ground around her. Seeing the trouble Ayu and he
caused, Yuuichi helps to pick up her things and Ayu helps out as well. Once
Shiori has everything, the three of them go for a little walk down the snowy
pathway and they discover that Shiori is a first year high school student. The
next day in school Jun spots a young girl in casual clothes on the school
grounds below their classroom. Yuuichi recognizes her as Shiori and during lunch
break goes down to meet her.
Yuuichi asks her what she is doing here, and Shiori says not to worry since she
a student at this school, but has the day off due to a sickness. When Yuuichi
asks what she is sick with, Shiori tells him it is a simple cold, though she has
had it for a long time. Yuuichi then asks why she is here if she is sick, and
Shiori explains that she has come to try to meet someone she knows. When Yuuichi
asks what person she is waiting for, Shiori tells him it is a secret and leaves
it at that. At the end of this conversation, Yuuichi introduces himself using
his full name, though Shiori only uses her given name. Upon asking what her
family name is, Shiori simply walks away as if she did not hear what he said.
During the next few weeks, Yuuichi starts to regularly meet Shiori at school
whether it is during or after school has gotten out. Yuuichi repeatedly tells
her to go home so that she will get better sooner instead of standing out in the
cold all the time, though Shiori never listens to his pleas. One day, Yuuichi
asks Shiori if there is anything she would want to eat and Shiori tells him that
she would like to eat some ice cream, despite it being very cold outside.
Yuuichi starts to hang out with Shiori more often than he had been doing before.
On their first outing together, Yuuichi brings her around town such as at the
arcade, a place Shiori had never been before. Shiori proves to have slow
reflexes so is not very good at the games available, but still has a lot of fun
with Yuuichi at the arcade. Later, they get some ice cream together and have
some fun playing in the snow having a snow ball fight of sorts and building a
snowman. Shiori had brought her sketch book along with her that day and wanted
to sketch Yuuichi. After she is finished with the sketch, she is reluctant about
showing it to Yuuichi but he eventually gets it from her and asks to keep the
sketch; Shiori agrees. At the end of this day, Shiori and Yuuichi go back to the
school and head into Shiori's classroom - a place she had only been once before
at the beginning of the school year almost a year ago. Shiori ultimately
confesses to having lied to Yuuichi all this time about how serious her sickness
is, but does not go into much detail about it. Yuuichi later finds out that
night from a meeting with Shiori's older sister Kaori Misaka that Shiori may not
live past her next birthday which is rapidly approaching.
A week before Shiori's birthday, she gets permission from her doctor to attend
school for a week just like a normal student. She had always wanted to go to the
same school, eat lunch together, and then walk home together with her older
sister, though due to her sickness was never able to. Even after getting the
chance to go to school for a week, Kaori still avoids Shiori as much as she can,
not wanting to have to experience the pain that Shiori's death will bring if she
ends up dying. Yuuichi starts to eat lunch with Shiori in the cafeteria at this
point, though after discovering that Shiori can not handle any spicy food that
the cafeteria may serve such as curry, Shiori starts to make lunch for the two
of them. However, she often gets so excited about it that she usually packs too
much for Yuuichi to normally eat in one sitting.
For Shiori's birthday, Yuuichi decides to throw her a birthday party the day
before her official birthday at a local café and invites several others to join
in including Ayu Tsukimiya, Nayuki Minase, Jun Kitagawa, and even Kaori among
others. While Kaori does not show up at the start of the party, she later shows
up which completely changes the mood of the party. Afterwards, Kaori finally
decides to accept Shiori as her younger sister which makes Shiori happier than
she had been in recent months. Kaori then leaves with the others so that Yuuichi
and Shiori can spend the rest of the day alone.
The rest of the night is spent at Shiori's favorite place in town: next to a
very large fountain in the park. Shiori tells him that night something she
neglected to say about the day they first met. That day, Shiori was planning to
kill herself by slitting her wrists with a box cutter but after meeting Yuuichi
and Ayu on her way home from the grocery store, she could not go through with it
and wanted to meet both of them again. After midnight strikes and Shiori becomes
sixteen years old, Yuuichi gives her his present- a sketch book which he looks
forward to Shiori using it and filling up all the pages. After a kiss between
the two moments later, Shiori gets up and tells Yuuichi she is going to buy some
warm drinks and for him to stay behind and wait. Before long, Yuuichi notices
that Shiori is taking too long and immediately suspects something is wrong.
Going over to the vending machines, Yuuichi finds a warm drink and Shiori's
sketchbook with a note from Shiori: "Thank you very much. Goodbye." After this
point, Shiori has to go back to the hospital and Kaori does not come to school
during this time.
In the end, Shiori miraculously heals and is not in danger of dying anymore. She
confesses to Yuuichi in tears that she never wanted to die, and that she was
only trying to be strong during those difficult times.
