Demon/Shadow Weapon's Name: Shishi
Demon/Shadow's Arcana: XIV. Temperance
Demon/Shadow Weapon Appearance: A extension of her tail at about 6 ft, Shishi takes the form of a metallic cobalt colored whip-like tail with a notable fork in the middle. Tipped with two blades (white on the left side, black on the right), the blades are normally dulled down, rounded and seemingly harmless when not in combat/being used. When in a combat situation or when threatened, the blades sharpen to curved blades with needle-like tips, prepared to pierce any enemy that comes her way.
Demon/Shadow Weapon Personality: Shishi's personality is represented by two 'voices' that represent both genders of the stone lions - Root, representing Yang and the male stone lion and Sea, representing Yin and the female stone lion. As a result, both Root and Sea have differing personalities.
Where Root is more energetic and raring to hit and hit hard, Sea is calmer and is the type to think about a situation before striking. Where Sea is more receptive and discreet about certain things or situations, Root is more giving and obvious about their thoughts and opinions. Where Root is more bright and active, Sea is more muted and passive.
Demon/Shadow Weapon Background: It is unknown where both halves of Shishi came from, however, Sea says that her and Root originally were two Shadows of the same type before they were taken.
- Mythology:
"Chinese or Imperial guardian lions are a traditional Chinese architectural ornament. Typically made of stone, they are also known as stone lions or shishi (石獅、shíshī). Known in colloquial English as lion dogs or foo dogs/fu dogs, the concept which originated and became popular in Chinese Buddhism, features a pair of highly stylized lions—often one male with a ball and one female with a cub—which were thought to protect the building from harmful spiritual influences and harmful people that might be a threat."
