Description

Personality

Shizuku Murasaki possesses Dissociative Identity Disorder, manifesting as two distinct personalities: her primary self and a secondary alter ego known as SHIZUKU. Her primary personality is quiet, reserved, and diligent, often communicating through gestures rather than words. This quiet demeanor is a coping mechanism developed to survive a traumatic childhood filled with abuse. In contrast, SHIZUKU is the complete opposite—bold, aggressive, and defiant, emerging when Shizuku is pushed to her limits. This alter represents a survival instinct, a powerful force born from the necessity to withstand her past trauma. The contrast between these two personalities highlights the profound impact of her abusive upbringing and her complex internal struggle. Shizuku's quiet nature and SHIZUKU's rebellious spirit are both deeply rooted in her past experiences. While Shizuku's primary personality strives for peace and cooperation, SHIZUKU's strength and defiance are a testament to her resilience and capacity for self-preservation. The interplay between these two alters forms the core of her character, shaping her interactions with others and her approach to challenges. Her journey involves navigating the complexities of her condition and finding a balance between her two selves.

Abilities

Shizuku is a Sentinel, ranked ninth overall, indicating significant strength and skill. She's part of the offensive "gunning squad," equipped with a bayoneted weapon and armor designed to withstand flames. Her primary ability is significantly enhanced when her alternate personality, SHIZUKU, fronts. In this state, she displays greatly increased strength and combat prowess, capable of tearing apart a Vertex with her rifle. While her normal personality is quiet and reserved, SHIZUKU is aggressive and headstrong, reflecting a drastic power difference between the two alters. The exact nature of SHIZUKU's power enhancement isn't explicitly defined, but it's implied to be a result of her personality's development as a coping mechanism for severe childhood trauma.
