Shirako is a 14 year old female Eevee from the Sinnoh region. She was a previously owned as a pet and she enjoyed it. She was owned by a family in Eterna but moved to Jubilife. But was let go due to cost reasons, they couldn't afford feeding her when the stocks crashed and she understood that. She was brought to route 206 under the bridge so she could live there. The little girl of the family visited her everyday to play with her, and even bringing some berries when she could. One day, the girl's parents came to pick up Shirako and she was confused, expecting the girl. She followed them to learn that Ai, her best friend and owner, was dying. The girl had caught some sickness and the family couldn't afford the medical cost with the father laid off. Ako curled up with Ai and laid with her until her passing. This is the reason why Shirako never says "I" when speaking as it sounds like her owner's name and it reminds her hurtfully. Shirako simply went back to route 206 on her own after that. Even though the opportunity was ripe, not even Zubat struck out at her as she sulked through the cave to get back home. She made a point of showing up every now and again to the house to go and lay in Ai's bed. The family doesn't mind her coming back.

She came to know about exploration guilds when she had a fateful encounter with a rescue party after getting herself trapped in a cave. The team was on their way into the same cave for a different request and happened upon her and helped her out. Since then, she has always wanted to join an exploration guild herself but could never gather the courage to travel to find one after that incident of getting trapped.

One day, however, she was gathering some berries to eat when she saw an exploration team in trouble out in the fields, apparently the Chancey had collapsed on the Caterpie and neither could move away from the attacking Absol. Shirako, remembering being trapped before and helped by a rescue team, decides to return the favour. She charged the Absol and tackled it, taking the attention off the troubled pair. She proceeded to have a little bout with the Absol, despite being horribly weaker than it. After the Absol struck her down and turned to face the team again, Shirako stood back up and miraculously healed herself before giving another tackle. When struck down again, Shirako could barely stand up, but she had given the team enough time to recover and got some help. Sadly she passed out right then despite her miraculous healing occurring once more.

She woke up a few minutes later to the Chancey wrapping up Shirako's right leg. The team thanked her for the help. Shirako took that moment as an opportunity given to her by Arceus and asked them about working for a guild. They told her about one in the Kalos region, which was a ways off but she was determined to join. She thanked the pair, and when she healed a couple days later, she set out for the guild.

Shirako also has plenty of battle experience. Some came from her journey to the Kalos region, but most came from facing down 3 gym leaders in Sinnoh with her owner. Shirako has fought and beaten Roark, Gardenia and Fantina but that's as far as they got before she had to be let go. That's how Shirako knows TM moves. On the side, Shirako is also the winner of the Normal round of a Smart Contest at the Contest Hall in Hearthome.

Speaking of her journey to Kalos... In order to get to the Kalos region, she's both paid for transportation and stowed away for it as well sometimes. Eventually, on the year of her 14th birthday, she sees the guild ahead of her and rushes towards it.

Special notes: Shirako is easily swayed by anything sweet. She has a habit of "Jumping in front of a bus" for people in trouble. Despite her attitude, she's a bit of a scaredy cat who jumps at her own shadow, though she tries to hide this fact around others. She also speaks in the third person a lot, despite knowing proper English. Reason for such was explained. "I" reminds her of her owner and it makes her sad so she reworks her sentences to say her name instead. Ai used to go by Alex a lot to avoid confusion with the word "I" in school. Ako rarely refers to her as Alex.

Special ability: Shirako tends not to stay down, even after taking a knockout. Upon standing up again, she forces a Wish to occur and charges into the fight again, she can do this up to three times before staying down. This form of wish works differently than the regular move. Normally it heals half the max HP value. Shirako's version is a full heal the first time, 2/3 the next and then a final 1/3 on the last activation. She herself doesn't know why she has the courage or strength to stand up again during those moments. Another thing to note, is that it doesn't always happen three times, sometimes it only works twice or once.

Semi-Special abilities: Despite not knowing Hyper Voice, she can be quite loud to the point of hurting other people if she starts yelling, the loudmouth. Shirako lived with an Aipom for a while and he taught her how to swing from trees and such with her tail, and even how to fall with minimal pain. It took her a while to learn the techniques, but now she's a fairly good acrobat with her tail, a skill she takes pride in as no other Eevee could learn it.

Special equipment: Shirako has a small pouch hidden in her ruffle that contains some candy of various types. The tiny pouch was a present from her owner, it was from one of her favourite dolls. Shirako cares about that pouch more than anything else on the planet, even her own life. Said pouch also contains the shrunk version of her old Pokeball, a Cherish Ball.
