"This was the Shion that he knew. The intelligent, gentle, faithful, airheaded, and clumsy Shion."
Official profile and statistics
(These are originally from the No.6 novel guide and were translated by me. Please forgive any translation errors!)
Name: Shion (紫苑)
Citizen registration number: Qw-55142
Height: 170 cm (5'7")
Weight: 54 kg (119 lbs)
Blood type: AB
Birthday: September 7th, 2001 (age 17 from his canon point)
Likes: Nezumi, Karan’s cherry cake
Dislikes: Celery
Special skill: Memorization
At the age of two, Shion was placed in the class of "highest-ranked intelligence" and was certified as an elite citizen. Because he extended his hand and showed kindness to Nezumi, a fugitive, he was stripped of his privileges and banished from Chronos, the most upscale residential area of No.6. He was arrested under suspicion of murder (which was fabricated by the security bureau) four years later, but fled with Nezumi's help and escaped No.6. He had been living his days with Nezumi in the confusion and disorder of the West Block, but after the government of No.6 captured his childhood friend Safu, he's determined to fight.
His vitality can't be guessed from his appearance, but he had the strength to survive when a parasite wasp attacked his body. As compensation, his hair turned white and a snakelike red scar appeared on his body.
Curiosity: ★★★★★
He shows great curiosity in everything, and values learning and knowing as much as he can. He’s prone to bothering Nezumi by asking him a barrage of questions, much to Nezumi’s annoyance.
Physical strength: ★★★☆☆
Because he grew up in the privileged area of Chronos, his strength is poor, and he’s no match for Nezumi. However, he's become stronger since coming to the West Block.
Intellect: ★★★★☆
He has an exceptionally bright mind and is easily capable of memorizing complex things such as the map of the correctional facility. However, he often says things that can be called airheaded.
Morals: ★★★★☆
A good-natured and softhearted boy willing to help anyone. When trying to protect the ones he loves, he has the dangerous tendency to become unbelievably cruel.
Appearance: ★★★★☆
Although his white hair and red scar may seem frightening, upon looking more closely, he has beautiful features. He’s even gotten amorous glances from older women.
Emotional strength: ★★★☆☆
Due to his earnest nature, he hesitates and often expresses his doubt or complaints. His friends are his biggest support.
Personal history: Before his life as a fugitive, he lived in No.6 with his mother Karan. His father left two months after he was born.
Work: After coming to the West Block, he’s been helping out by washing the dogs at Inukashi’s hotel. Even though it’s simple physical labour, he enjoys doing it. (Note: As he's no longer in the West Block, Shion is now the youngest of the twelve members of No.6's reconstruction committee.)

Backtagging: Of course!
Threadhopping: Unless it's a private conversation, feel free!
Fourthwalling: It depends on the material and situation, so please contact me beforehand.
Hugging: Go ahead!
Flirting/romance: Feel free to try! Just don't expect results....
Fighting/Injuring: Yes; just talk to me first so we can discuss the details!
Killing: Probably not. Sorry!
Other: Due to events that occur late in canon, Shion's personality is a little bit different than it was during the main course of the series. As he's taken from just after his chapter of No.6 Beyond, which takes place one year after the series ends, he's a little more stable than he would have been if he were taken directly from volume 9.
