Background
Shy was born in the middle class, from a japanese mother who fight for the Imperial Marines and a french father veteran of the "Légion Étrangère". Her own name "De La Perière" is supposed to be link to an old family of french mercenary that fight for the german empire till the first world war (the last one was an U-Boat commander, supposedly). According to this Shy learned soon the principle of discipline and respect, her parents pushed her to the way of the military but she thought about an art graduation. After an heavy negotiation Shy finally got the right to graduate, her inspired state of mind make her hop a year of study and she quickly got bored. Some weeks before her 17th birthday feeling like a rebel she decide to run away without telling her parents, finding a way to lie about her age she did sign up for the military.
Pretty gifted, Shy did manage to join a paratroopers regiment and earned her wings soon in October 2070. While on permission she decided to pay a visit to her parents who didn't really were that angry in the end. Shy was baptised during the 2070 December fighting on the SOX, a traumatic first experience that led to her Awakening who help her survive this first combat experience. Her platoon suffered heavy casualties (namely because the evac chopper got downed by a missile.) so she was affected to a new unit. Since she was awakened now, she was sent into the Special Force. First going throught the "Commando de Marine" training program, Shy specialised in marksmanship and infiltration tactics. After two year of rough training and soon before her 20th birthday she join her active unit the Task Force November 51 or N-51.
Her years as a Black Ops/Clandestine Operation were simple to her, some jobs were to get done so France could get better, so she did. But the whole thing change in 2076, during the political turmoil the N-51 was deployed in Boston during the lockdown to help searching Angélique Rouge a national heroine disappeared in the city. The N-51 got hit hard during the whole operation in support of the "Légion Étrangère" and runners team. After the event of Boston and the succesful rescue of Angélique Rouge, the N-51 got sent to put on a base in the Nevedean Desert.
The N-51 was deployed and quickly reach Seattle to track someone supposedly linked to Angélique Rouge run of bad luck in Boston. Homever Shy got arrested while transporting gear for the operation to come. She got arrested and prosecuted for smuggling and got sentenced to five years of prison. Du to the political turmoil following the Treason of Vincennes Shy couldn't count on help from the country and the N-51 couldn't act as well.
Shy followed the Neo-Revolution event from her prison cell and also learned the death of her parents in the car crash. Bad faith make her tell that it is because of this turmoil that her parents died. Feeling abandoned and disconnected of what her country had become, Shy decided to use the money from her Inheritance and her payroll to buy some gear and to join the Shadow. When she got her gear ready she use old N-51 intel to get in contact Ltn Commander Yennefer Kerrigan and ask her help to get her first job.
So far she didn't really act accordingly to her training. Still feeling the pure rage in her guts she make many mistake and did follow road that she wouldn't follow. The best exemple being the Starscreamers. But she did also get the attention of War as a mentor spirit and now got a chance to make contact with her old team. Shy feel like she is at a turning point of her life is it true ? Time will tell.
Update from the 30/09/2022 : In a year, Shy proved to herself that she was worthy of the attention of War. She did pick a fight alone against Pump King Jack and got cursed for that. She joined back her old unit who is now rogue and in a fighting against SK operation in Seattle to steel a Blood Hawk. She managed to get over the curse and had to meet a dragon for that, her drug problem is at an all time high, and she look like she is about to die in the following months.
Many people would back down, but Shy is a Chosen of Bishamonten, she can't do that...Not yet. For now she has one objective, the Blood Hawk and the success of the operation about stealing it. If she has to die in the process, then it's because she was too weak...After all War and Violence gave her strengh.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Undying Girl : (Toughness , Will to Live 3, Tought as Nail Physical 2 Stun 1 & Quick Healer) : Shy did have a lot of close call with death, eveytime she managed to get out of it alive...Is she lucky ? Or does she just have some kind of uncanny toughness. Now in addition to this she seems to recover faster than ever.
Silver Spoon Childhood (Born Rich, Bilingual, Inspired Artisan) : Until the time she join the Military Shy grew up in a pretty wealthy family and did fail a graduation in art because she wasn’t willing to put too much work into it despite her great capability in the domain.
Bishamonten’s Daughter (Mentor Spirit War, Chosen Follower) : Bishamonten the War Kami take great interest in Shy’s accomplishment so far, even tho he push her into doing some reckless thing sometimes.
High Pain Tolerance (Rating 3) : Bullet, spells, burns, explosion. Shy has gone through a lot, pain is less noticeable and that's for the best.
Rad-Tolerant : On several occasion she has been exposed to radiation, now her body seem to react more lightly to the Atom influence
Revenant Adept : Bishamonten bestowed the gift upon her, after some many time escaping the clutch of death, now she has the power to shrug off hideous wound and keep fighting.
Drug Tolerant : Shy do a lot of combat drugs so much that her body is not kind of accustomed to the use of those...Nothing to worry about.
Natural Leader : Being still alive after so much onslaught...Kind of gave a reputation to Shy. As long as she breath, everything should be fine right ?
Daredevil : From the start of her career Shy has been ambitious and daring, no one can deny that. She's so good at it that even fate seem to be on her side.
Perceptive 2 : After all that time running the Shadow, fighting for the military and the prison life, very few things can escape Shy's gaze.
Clandestine Operation Training (Poisoner, Catlike, Sharpshooter, Battle Hardened I, Disgraced) : Everyone knows Shy for two thing, first her Kami addiction, Second she is a veteran (and still members) of a Clandestine Operation Task force and as such she received a lot of training according to this domain. In addition she is know for her lack of morale and her indiscriminate use of really nasty mean to kill people. (Mainly the use of Combat Gas for now)
Mutator
History is not as ertains as we are taught : Shy uncovered dark secret during her time in Antartica. She understand that she need to hide them and find way to fight whatever might come from those "Horrors" it is the pinnacle of War's teaching the Great Ennemy...That ended the 4th world, only question is how far is she willing to go.
Negative
Veteran's weight (Insomnia) : While not afraid of Shadow Spirit anymore, Shy still has clear memory of past even that haunt her night. Memories of her time in Boston during the Lockdown are the main thing that keep her awake at night.
Clandestine Operation habits (Faceless) : While now she is more enjoyed, she still use to wear mask in presence of people that she doesn't know or trust.
The Ashes of the Burn (Old Severe Addict to K-10 and Burnout to Kamikaze) 05/02/2023 Update ! : While she got off her addiction, the craving for Kamikaze was still here in the back of Shy's head but after her run in Antartica, the meeting with her mother, the sickness...She decided to take a big step, it was over now. She is clean and free from the craving, another victory...
Dependents (Inconvenience) : Shy did adopt a Fenrir Wolf, sadly it take money to keep it.
Astral Beacon : Shy's aura is noticeable easily, since she is Chosen of War and also that she had some issue with Shadow Spirit you can't really miss her on the astral.
Poor Self Control (Vindictive) : Shy is an ever angry women since the death of her parent and she will be sure to let some people know about this anger in her guts.
Wanted (25 000 Nuyens) : Shy did not care about her Criminal SIN and now Knight-Errant is on the agressive side of reintegration.
Wanted by Aztechnology (Record on File (Aztechnology) (100k nuyens) : Shy operation against the corps has brougth her on the list of people Aztechnology want dead and for a right price. In addition some sample of her blood has been found on an abuduction site and she is now properly on the record of the Corp.
I am living on Borrowed Time...And prooved that i could survive. (Thematical stuff) : Shy did overused combat stim for years, she had close call with death three time, heavy medication and huge amount of drug in her blood kind of wreck her beyond salvation. 05/02/2023 update : After a Prime Run in antartica she got access to Delta Clinic from Kerrigan and managed to get the treatment she needed.
Record on File (Saedder-Krupp) : The Megacorps have files on a lot of N-51 operative due to their action against them. Shy is especially known and could be a target of future operation.
Blighted (6 Month) : Punching a F12 Nuclear Spirit surely was a great achievement, but it also carried some illiness that Shy has to deal with.
Record on File (Ares) : An open wound received on a Black Site led Ares to get her biometrics and find data about her old Criminal SIN. Oops ?

Appearance
Shy has nothing to do with her old self from when she joined the Shadow. She still look "young" thanks to some silk skin treatment and cellular repairs to hide the year of Kamikaze and K-10 abuse.
She is pretty average height and a pretty sturdy build all in flexibility rather than pure strength. Hey eyes are now grey thank to some bioware touch which give her an intense look.
She is pretty handsome but never really emphases too much on it, she don't like to be the center of attention and don't use makeup that much. She sport a wide array of scars and tattoos that tend to tarnish a bit her feature, but most of them are unnoticeable due to the clothing she usually wear.
Tattoos list
Back : A depiction of an helicopter exploding, a silhouette wearing FBA is cast away from the explosion, some line of the explosion form a Kanji who could translate as "Awakening" the whole piece is enhanced by bio-tattoo treatment to give some kind of "life" to the tattoo.
Forearms : Intricate line that seems to reference French and Japanese Military symbols, the intricate line meld together in harmony forming a new pattern in the end.
Left Shoulder : The N-51 insignia with the motto of the unit written under it "Who dares win".
Right Shoulder : The insignia of the Commando Marines unit with the years of graduation.
Belly : Symbolic figures tied to the Shinto, to honor Bishamonten the Kami of War, it cover the scar she got removing Pump King Jack's mark.
Scars list
Belly : Covered by a tattoo is a good chunk of skin that seems to be removed, the tint difference is easily noticeable.
Belly bis/Back : A bit higher under the breast, the remain of a deep wound, high caliber round that seem to have go through her body, her back is marked by the exit point of the bullet, a gruesome wound one that leave people to wonder how she even survived it in the first place.
Several spot on the skin : Leftover of burn wound can be found here and there, mostly on the arms and legs, most of them are nearly faded thanks to some good treatment and the silk skin.
Right Flank : Deep claw wound seemingly from a really big paracritters, received from her Fenrir Wolf while he was unruly.
Clothing
Shy is more serious now, she wear regular cloth, usually a military pants and some casual clothing for the top.
Most of the time thought she can be seen walking around with her FBA.
When she has to go on a party or to attend the higher society she usually embrace the Goth Style.
Matrix Persona
Change sometimes but is usually some French or Japanese historic figure
Media Mentions
Some olds little mention when she got prosecuted.
