Profile
''A seamstress created by the gods to sew the stars into the night sky and create beauty for all who come after. She grew bored and lonely after cons of sewing. Having an affinity for observing mortals and their creativity, she decided to █████ █████ and perhaps learn new ways of creating and █████ while finding company to fill her lonely heart with joy and inspiration.''

Personality
Shiina always talks in a formal way and uses lots of words to express her thoughts, but it doesn't prevent her from shouting insults whenever she gets angry. Under her evident taste for refined things and her usual calm, Shiina likes pulling out slightly shocking puns. Even if she knows she is supposed to control herself and keep her composure, Shiina can't help manifesting her most thirsty instincts over very seductive video game characters.

Otherwise, Shiina interacts a lot with her community and likes sharing about her personal experiences. Thus, Shiina encourages her viewers to improve their life to have a better opinion of themselves. She jokes sometimes about her lack of skill at video games, but still tries her best to make all her streams entertaining. Shiina considers herself as an old woman, which is why she allows being called "Meemaw".

Appearance
Shiina is a small girl with very long blond hair almost touching ground, which internal surface is a night sky filled with constellations. When Shiina moves, her hair let this sky scroll around and can reveal more constellations. A white ribbon and a scissors shaped pin decorate her head. Her eyes are deep blue.

Shiina sometimes shows her giant pair of scissors.
