"I don't know how to write this. I died. Well, Shinobu died. This is hard. But she—I?—she must have kept this journal for a reason. So here goes."

Biography

Shinobu lived in the village of Coyote, which was under threat from the Fallen House of Kings. The village eventually came into contact with two Hunters named Micah-10 and Conar, who decided to help save the town. Micah-10 recruited three more Hunters, including Nadiya and Therin Vai, but Shinobu thought that the three new arrivals looked happy to be there and suspected they were being paid. She questioned Micah-10 if the five Guardians would be enough to save them, but was unconvinced by Micah-10's speech about how Guardians were meant to protect people no matter the circumstances, suspecting that the Guardians knew they could not save the town. She learned from Conar that the Fallen had set up camp in the tunnels near the town and that anyone trying to leave would have a better chance on the open roads. Shinobu considered abandoning the town and trying to make it on her own, suspecting that she could get at least ten kilometers before being killed.
