"You will address her as 'Queen'"
— Shuro Chi

Shuro Chi, formerly known as Shuro Chi, the Corrupted while she was Taken, is an Awoken Techeun who served Queen Mara Sov. She assisted the Queen several times, once to reach out to straying Awoken,[1] and another as a bodyguard since the Wolf Rebellion.[2] Shuro also served as liaison between the Techeuns and the other Awoken, particularly the Queen's Wrath Petra Venj, ameliorating personality clashes and distrust.[3]

Biography

"You will address her as 'Queen.'"
— Shuro Chi scolding an engineer for not properly addressing Mara Sov[4]

Shortly after the Awoken returned to the Solar System from the Distributary, Shuro Chi and her fellow Techeuns assisted the newly crowned Queen Mara Sov in dealing with several crises as their civilization established itself in the Reef. Following an exodus of Awoken who felt they needed to return to Earth and assist the remaining Humans living there, Sedia and the Techeuns augmented the Queen's powers to reach out to them and appeal for them to return to the Reef.[5]

The Wolf Rebellion

During the Wolf Rebellion, Chi participated in a discussion with Prince Uldren Sov, Paladin Yasmin Eld, and Petra Venj on Skolas' attempts to rally the House of Kings.[6] In the aftermath of the rebellion, she and Sedia would replace the Wolves' Guard as Queen Mara's primary bodyguards in her throne room. At a meeting with the Warlock Osiris and the Hunter Eris Morn, the two Techeuns were offended by the insolent tone they felt Eris possessed when addressing Mara, but they were silenced by Mara, who appreciated Eris' candor. At the meeting, they learned of the coming of Oryx, the Taken King to the Solar System and Eris' dedication to destroying him, a plan to which Mara agreed to participate in.[7]

Enacting the Plan

With the alliance forged between the Reef and Eris, Sedia and her fellow Techeuns began preparing for a confrontation with the Taken King and to help Mara ascend to godhood in her confrontation with the Hive god. As part of the plan, construction began on the Blind Well in the Dreaming City that would be able to open a portal to Mara's throne world of Eleusinia. She and Kalli worked together to construct the gateway to Mara's Throneworld, Eleusinia, in The Confluence.[8]

Before the fateful Battle of Saturn, Shuro participated in a rare meeting with the Coven, discussing their plan against Oryx. She was instructed by Illyn, alongside Kalli and Sedia, to take the youngest Harbingers into battle and to "plant them" into the Dreadnaught "to have children of their own".[9]

When the Awoken fleet intercepted Oryx's Dreadnaught and escort vessels in the rings of Saturn, Shuro Chi, Sedia and Kalli provided support to Mara to launch the Harbingers at the Dreadnaught. While they succeeded in destroying the escort vessels, the Dreadnaught itself suffered no major damage, and Oryx responded to the assault upon his fleet by unleashing the Dreadnaught's primary weapon.[10] The three Techeuns escaped via emergency selfgates to the Dreaming City as the Awoken fleet was annihilated, but Mara remained behind as part of the plan for her ascension into godhood.[11] Unfortunately, Shuro Chi's efforts to bring Mara with them left her selfgate open long enough for Oryx's essence from the weapon to follow them into the Dreaming City,[12] which resulted in Shuro Chi and her two fellow Techeuns being Taken by Oryx alongside Riven and caused the corruption of the Dreaming City.[13] Due to their disappearance, the Reef's remaining leadership assumed Sedia, Shuro, and Kalli had perished along with the rest of the fleet.[14] Without her influence, the relationship between Petra Venj and the remaining Techeuns deteriorated.[15]

Freed From Corruption

When The Guardian first reached the Dreaming City, Shuro was present along with her fellow Taken Techeuns. Upon the Guardian's approach, she and her sister Techeuns immediately banished them into the Ascendant Realm, forcing them to escape.[16] During the Guardian's raid to kill Riven, Shuro Chi would be the second threat they had to face. After climbing their way up through the Tower of Opened Eyes and battling Taken, the Guardians were able to free Shuro from her Taken corruption, allowing her alongside Kalli to purify Riven's heart.[17]

Following this, Shuro would periodically contact the Guardian regarding Public Events within the Dreaming City, as well as . Shuro can also be found replacing normal scan patrols in the Dreaming City. When approached, she will guide the Young Wolf towards a point of interest and offer insight relating to it and the foundations of the Dreaming City and the Awoken.
