Shion

Shion (シオン) is an exclusive character from the video game Re:Zero Lost in Memories. However, it was revealed that Shion was not her real name. Her real name is unknown. She's the illusionist who appears in the "Reminiscence Village", a world that was created by Subaru's memory. She is the navigator who helps Subaru recover his lost memories. She was later revealed to be the true antagonist of the game.

Appearance
Shion has long green hair with a ponytail on her right side. Her attire consists of a short white cloak with a green diamond-shaped pattern in the inside, a white and brown dress that is like a huntress wears, and white high-end boots. She also adorns an orange rose on her left shoulder, a dagger wrapped around on her hips, and a small gold locket around her neck.

Personality
Only one word that Subaru could only describe her as mysterious. Shion has a very lighthearted and carefree personality, despite the dangers that are surrounding both her and Subaru. Whenever Subaru asks her a question about herself as she somehow knew Subaru before, she'll just avoid the question and move on.

History
When Shion was young, she was born on a remote island with only her mother and father because elves were hated back then. She often made tea and rice for her family. She didn't have any friends to have tea with her, so she mostly drinks tea alone.

When she was fifteen, she was taken a test to see if she could summon a phantom. But unfortunately, she couldn't. Sometime later, she was captured by a group of men and trapped her behind iron bars, planning to execute her. She whispers and created Lyra and manipulated one of the men to free her. As she was about to be executed, she saw her village destroyed and burnt corpses laying on the ground. The man who captured him freed her and she successfully ran from the men, trying to survive.

Abilities
Magic User (魔法使い Maho Tsukai): Shion is very skillful with magic, however, she uses an unusual magic that is not from this world. Phantom User: Shion has an ability where she can create and manipulate phantoms. It was an ancient ability that was lost long time ago. The ability allows the user to steal the person's memories and manipulate their consciousness.
 * Musa (ムーサ): Shion uses some sort of a non-elemental magic in the game. She uses it to break barriers that were protecting opponents.
 * El Musa (エル・ムーサ): A stronger version of Musa. She discharges a giant grey ball from her hands and fires them.

Trivia

 * According to the author, Shion's birthday is September 9, the same day as Lyra.
 * Shion's name comes from a flower called Aster tataricus (紫苑), also known as Shion. The flower has a meaning in Hanakotoba, the Japanese language of flowers, which corresponds to "I won't forget you." It's a subtle reference to the theme of the game and was a name that was given by Subaru in Re:Zero Lost in Memories.
