Shiro

Shiro is a young albino girl. She has snow-white hair, pale skin and red eyes; even her eyebrows
and eyelashes are white. Her hair is very long and reaches down to her knees. She dresses in a
peach, skintight bodysuit (white in the anime), decorated with red circles and stripes and with her
toes and heels sticking out. She also wears big brown mittens and a white neck warmer, though
has been seen wearing black mittens with a black neck warmer and also black winter boots.
Ganta has mentioned that she looks like Mimi.[4]

When the Wretched Egg takes over her body and Shiro becomes trapped in her own mind, she
is seen wearing a white nightgown.

Wretched Egg
The Wretched Eggs appearance is, for the most part, that of Shiro's, however, she always has a
hooded and lazy look to her eyes and a wicked bloodthirsty smile on her face.

She used to wear a red, worn-out cape with a mask that covered her nose and eyes, without any
holes. As the Red Man, she also wore a heavy suit of armor that defends her body, legs and
arms. This outfit actually makes her look like Aceman, a superhero Shiro looked up to and what
she calls the Wretched Egg.

The Wretched Egg ends up changing her look. Now, she has a light purple and lavender lace
bodysuit with long sleeves that are torn at the ends. She also wears a metal collar with a small
chain attached to it.

Relationships
Ganta Igarashi
Unlike Shiro, who harbors an innocent love for Ganta, Wretched Egg's feelings for him are much
more complicated. On one hand, he and Sorae were the only two good things in her life, and her
sole source of happiness in her childhood. On the other, she expresses a strong resentment
toward him for having forgotten about her, and leaving her behind when she needed him the
most. She revealed in Chapter 55 that she was in love with him, and feels that the only way he
can redeem himself for how he had hurt her was by killing her and ending her suffering. To that
end, she gave him his Branch of Sin, and went to great lengths to make him stronger, both
physically and mentally.
Wretched Egg
Shiro and Wretched Egg were able to interact while they were asleep and dreaming. Shiro often
asked why Wretched Egg was trying to kill Ganta, though she never received a straight answer.
Wretched Egg was extremely protective of Shiro, and claims that Shiro's pain 'belongs to her.' To
that end, Wretched Egg endured the pain caused by the experimentation performed on her, and
it was because of Shishito Madoka's 'Iron Maiden' inflicting such excruciating pain on Shiro that
she was able to take over completely. The Wretched Egg also tries to comfort Shiro
subconsciously, such as when she ate Shiro's unfinished pudding, even though she hates
sweets. This causes Shiro to think Ganta had eaten it, making her happy as she thought that
Ganta had visited. Shiro referred to Wretched Egg as 'Aceman,' and was completely aware of
her presence within her mind, and by extension, what she, herself, was.
Sorae Igarashi
Despite knowing full well that Sorae was the one who subjected Shiro to such horrific treatment,
she appeared to hold little to no ill will towards her. Sorae was the one who continued to give her
hope that her wish to die could still be granted, and after Ganta was sent away, she continued to
care for her while Hagire continued to exploit her powers, until she completed the Mother Goose
System and committed suicide, both out of guilt for what she did to Shiro, and to prevent that
Hagire from finding out how to turn it off.

Hagire Rinichirō
Despite the fact that Hagire was one of the main reasons she suffered so much during her
childhood, she spared him, and even chose to indulge his desire to fight her over and over again.
Their relationship was strained at best, mostly because Wretched Egg didn't have anywhere else
to go or anyone else to take care of her, and because she needed him to unlock the Mother
Goose System. She also believed that if Ganta failed in giving her her wish, that Hagire would be
able to fully satisfy her bloodlust and desire for chaos and destruction. However, Chapter 55
revealed that she was growing frustrated with Hagire constantly wanting to fight her instead of
working on shutting down the Mother Goose System, and the moment she found out where
Ganta was, wasted no time in breaking out of Deadman Wonderland to give him his Branch of
Sin.
Azami Midō
Oddly enough, Wretched Egg didn't seem to hate her as much as she seemed to hate just about
everyone else. This is likely due to Shiro's interactions with her, and the fact that she was kind to
both Shiro and Ganta. Unfortunately, right when it seemed like Azami might have been getting
through to her on some level, Hagire as Toto Sakagami decapitated her, causing Wretched Egg
to lament her as another 'trapped bird.' However, she still used Azami's decapitated head to
taunt Ganta into attacking her, showing that despite the fact that she might not have outright
hated her, she still saw her as just another means to an end.
Mimi
Wretched Egg killed Mimi by decapitating her, and then showing her head to Ganta. In Chapter
55, it was revealed that Wretched Egg did this because she was jealous of her, as well as all of
Ganta's other friends.

Personality
Shiro

Shiro's original, bubbly nature.

Shiro is a clumsy and bubbly young girl. She has lots of energy, most likely from the fact she eats
nothing but sweets. She is shown to have loved sweets throughout her life, particularly cookies,
and her sweet tooth may be her way of staying connected to her childhood. She has a very
childlike outlook on life; this leads to her not understanding much: Shiro didn't even understand
the concept of a girlfriend and had a simplified outlook on love.
Despite this, she knows she loves Ganta Igarashi and only wants him to be happy, even if that
means resorting to drastic measures. She is also very concerned about his safety. Shiro does
her best to protect Ganta, regardless of the danger. Throughout the series, it is shown that all
Shiro really wants is Ganta's approval, and it is surprisingly easy for him to hurt her feelings.
However, with the exception of him stating that he "hated" her in the Forgery arc (which was only
for Shiro's protection), Ganta has never meant to hurt Shiro and has always regretted his actions
afterward.
Shiro is incredibly strong, and she uses her immense strength to keep Ganta safe as much as
possible after a childhood incident when Shiro became Ganta's "Aceman". One example of this
is manifested during the dog race show. Shiro appeared to be oblivious to the dangers of the
game and occasionally got in the way of Ganta's progression as well as his survival. But it is only
at the end, when Ganta notices her cuts and scratches, that he discovers that she was discreetly
keeping him out of harm's way, consequently taking his blows for him.

It is revealed in Chapter 36 that Ganta actually has strong feelings of love towards Shiro and that
said feelings are mutual. As the series progresses, Shiro comes to understand the profound
concepts of love and friendship while still retaining her pure heart. This helps her see the right
course of action and also galvanizes the more jaded characters into action. She also begins
acting and speaking more like an adult, though her innocent nature remains intact.

Eventually, the Shiro and Wretched Egg personas fuse together to form Shiro's true self. This
final, genuine persona contains characteristics of both personalities: it has Shiro's strong love for
Ganta and desire for happiness, yet with the Wretched Egg's bleak outlook on life and evident
hatred (towards others as well as herself). Shiro's 'true self' also appears to remember everything
from her life, both as 'Shiro' and 'Wretched Egg'. In the end, it is discovered that the reason she
wanted Ganta to become a Deadman was for him to kill her and end her suffering. It is also
revealed that Shiro's wish to die was evident 10 years ago, when she caused the Great Tokyo
Earthquake in an attempt to destroy her body before it could regenerate, therefore trying to kill
herself.

In Chapter 57, Ganta finally understands her and states that dying is not Shiro's 'true wish'. At
the realization, Shiro begins to cry and says that she wanted to 'go to school, play with friends,
ride on the Ferris wheel', but she couldn't do any of these things. She states that she has done
so many horrible things and doesn't deserve to live, but at the same time, she doesn't want to
die.

In the end, all she really wanted was to be happy.
