second persona and her older brother's inability to do so, she was Origin:
chosen as the next head of the family and began her training in
combat. Birthday: February 17[2]

When Shiki was young, her father took her to meet her dying Age: 16 (Chapter 2)
grandfather. He told Shiki that people can only truly kill someone 19 (Chapter 7)
once in their lifetime, elaborating that those whom had killed many
times are no longer human, fated to live with their guilt until their Magecraft
death. It is at this moment that Shiki learns to value the notion Origin: Emptiness
surrounding the weight and responsibility that comes with murder.
Before passing away, he wished Shiki to have a peaceful death. Family members

By the year of 1995 as Shiki reaches the age of 16, the Ryougi Bloodline: Ryougi
family had effectively retired from the task of demon hunting,
becoming a family similar to the Tohnos, in that they remained as Grandfather: Grandpa Ryougi
wealthy landowners. In this case, they own a large Japanese-style
mansion with a grove of bamboo beyond the outer wall. Shiki also Father: Mr. Ryougi
took lessons in Japanese harp, flower arrangement, calligraphy,
Mother: Mrs. Ryougi
swordsmanship, jujutsu, and dance, as well as studying cooking as
a hobby.[3] Brother(s): Kaname Ryougi
Her academic ability is above average compared to Mikiya.[4] Spouse(s): Mikiya Kokutou

Appearance Daughter(s): Mana Ryougi

Shiki has always mostly worn a wide variety of traditional kimonos In-laws: Mr. Kokutou (Father-in-law)
ranging from colorful yukatas to high quality furisodes up to the age
Mrs. Kokutou (Mother-in-law)
of sixteen.[5] Despite being seemingly unremarkable, her kimono is a
Azaka Kokutou (Sister-in-law)
luxury item not apparent to the eye. The quality is revealed in the
fine details, the haute couture being that she can perform high kicks
while still wearing a kimono.[6] She can’t actually distinguish between different Kimono types, but because she’s
been in contact with nothing but high-class goods her entire life she can at least tell the difference between “good”
and “bad”. At the kimono fabrics shop, she’ll pick out a material without hesitation and leave, at which point Akitaka
will look at the price only to find that it costs as much as he makes in two months.[7]

Though she had received clothing from Akitaka that would suit a girl her age, she never bothered to wear them, and
because her school was one without uniforms, she stayed with her kimono. She wished to utilize a long-sleeved
kimono, but instead wore a Yukata-like, single-piece kimono for ease of changing during physical education classes.
Comments from her high school peers and prodding from Mikiya about her insistence on simply wearing extra
clothing on top of her kimono caused her to spontaneously decide to wear something over it. She decided to buy a
leather jacket, so she began a strange habit of wearing a leather jacket over a kimono during winter.[5]

Her hair is short, and while she often used to brush her hair, it was usually unkempt after her recovery from her 2-
year coma. Shiki has ink-black hair, pale skin color and black eyes described as being of "clear void". While she was
known to wear wooden geta footwear as part of her casual wear, she commonly wore boots with laces as part of her
default attire, especially when embarking on her assignments under the Garan no Dou agency.

While it seems that she is concerned about her attire, she does not actually care. She simply wears what she
wishes, but the result ends up consistently being a kimono, laced-up boots or geta, and a red leather jacket.[5] Her
favorite outfit is the red leather jacket, but only Mikiya is oblivious to the reason as to why she loves it. She does not
favor any particular red leather jacket, and insists that "I will switch to a new one if this one gets worn out".[8]

After the case at Reien Girl's Academy was wrapped up, Akitaka was entrusted with the Reien uniform's
safekeeping. In several years, he quietly and discreetly passed it on to Mikiya.[9]

The original concept behind Shiki was "a juxtaposition of Eastern and Western concepts", or literally "an
unhomogenized compromise between the East and the West."[6][10]

Pre-coma, the two personalities Shiki and SHIKI wore the same style of dress with the latter often being depicted as
wearing kimonos of various warm colors. Shiki's third personality 「Shiki Ryougi」 was often depicted as having
worn a light pink kimono of the furisode variety, all while lacking her signature red leather jacket despite only ever
being seen during snowy nights. 「Shiki Ryougi」 was known for displaying a serene and trance-like expression in
all of her appearances.
