Lore and Backstory: Shiori was born with a rare congenital condition that severely affected the development and function of her vocal cords. Doctors discovered the condition when she was very young. She could make small sounds as a baby, but she was never able to develop normal speech. Her family initially believed that she would eventually learn to talk. They took her to doctors and speech specialists throughout her childhood, hoping treatment would help. Unfortunately, none of the treatments allowed her to develop a functioning speaking voice. As she grew older, Shiori became increasingly aware that she was different from the other children around her. Other children could simply call their parents, answer questions, shout when they were scared, or laugh loudly with their friends. She had to rely on gestures and writing instead. She eventually learned sign language and became quite skilled at it. However, she quickly discovered another problem. Most people did not know sign language. She would try signing to strangers, only to receive confused looks. Sometimes people assumed she was ignoring them. Others would speak louder and slower as though she could not understand them. Eventually, she started carrying a small notebook everywhere. Writing became her most reliable way of communicating. She could write exactly what she wanted to say, show the notebook to someone, and avoid the confusion that often came with sign language. The notebook gradually became more than a communication tool. It became the place where she could express thoughts she could not easily show through gestures. She filled its pages with conversations, drawings, random thoughts, memories, and little observations about people. She has gone through countless notebooks over the years, but she always keeps the first one she ever used to communicate with strangers.

Childhood: Despite her condition, Shiori was not always quiet by personality. As a child, she was curious, energetic, and mischievous. She loved playing with other children and often tried to communicate through drawings and gestures. Unfortunately, some children did not understand her. She was occasionally excluded from games because she could not speak. Others made fun of her silence. Those experiences taught her an important lesson early in life. People do not always understand what they do not know. Instead of becoming completely bitter, she became observant. She learned to watch people's expressions, gestures, and body language. She became exceptionally good at noticing when someone was lying, nervous, uncomfortable, excited, or hiding something. Her silence eventually became one of her greatest strengths.

SOCIAL BEHAVIOR:

Shiori takes time to become genuinely comfortable with people. She does not automatically consider someone a friend simply because they are friendly toward her.

She prefers calm, one-on-one conversations, but she can function normally around groups. She does not dislike crowds or social situations. She simply finds individual conversations easier because communication requires writing.

When someone makes an effort to communicate with her, she remembers it. Small acts of patience and consideration can leave a strong impression on her.

She does not expect people to immediately understand how she communicates. If someone is genuinely trying, she is willing to explain her preferred method of communication through writing.
