[Background] (tl;dr ahead!) Sheena's origins and blood relatives are a mystery: she was abandoned and adopted by Igaguri, chief of secret village Mizuho. Thus she was trained in their ninja arts and customs despite of being a total stranger. As a child she was sent to the Imperial Research Academy in Meltokio because of her potential for summoning, and for the village to show their loyalty to the king. She accepted to become a summoner in order to make her foster father proud and out of gratitude for taking her.
There, they implanted an Exphere to her body and she was taught to use her powers. But also, Sheena was a test subject in their investigation about Summon Spirits (elemental beings linked to Mana who protect both worlds). The scientists at the academy had been able to create an artificial one, a fox-like spirit called Corrine, and most data obtained was thanks to the pact and experiments done by Sheena and Corrine. However, the small spirit hated the place and the things they did on him, and somehow they let Sheena to take him away. For a long time, he was Sheena's only close friend.
Sheena's life and the village itself changed to worse when she was taken to form a pact with Volt, the spirit of lightning. When the time had come and she asked to establish the pact, Volt spoke in a language Sheena was unable to understand. Because of this, Volt attacked everyone around; only Sheena herself and the chief -who ended up in a coma- were able to survive. A fourth of Mizuho's population lost their life in that incident, leaving her filled with guilt and remorse as the people isolated her further. She came to hate the fact she was a summoner, and that she was still alive.
At the beginning of the canon, Tethe'alla's authorities assigned Mizuho the mission to go to the parallel world of Sylvarant in order to assassinate their Chosen of Mana, in order to preserve Tethe'alla's prosperity. Sheena was picked to do so. Even thought she met with Colette Brunel's group several times, she was never able to win them in battle. She started to have doubts as she saw the state of misery of Sylvarant, and the kindness of its people (Colette and Lloyd included). When the city of Luin was destroyed by the Desians, Sheena failed to avoid it and later on made a truce with Colette's group to rescue the victims. Her mission became harder to accomplish as she grew fond of them, and Sheena continued to help them by making pacts with Sylvarant's Summon Spirits.
Finally she explained them the truth, and Colette proposed to investigate if there wasn't a way to restore their world without screwing over Tethe'alla. So she went with them to the Tower of Salvation, just to discovered they had been deceived by Cruxis, and Colette fell into a strange soulless state. With Sheena's help, they escaped to Tethe'alla -where Cruxis crystals like Colette's were studied- in order to find a cure. They crossed the barrier and crash on mount Fooji, and Sheena leaves to report at Mizuho. She rejoins later to help rescuing Raine and Genis from death penalty. By that time there were two new members in the party: a girl called Presea and an old acquaintance of Sheena, Tethe'alla's very own Chosen of Mana. The last acquisition, later on, would be an ex-convict called Regal.
Several things happen, the most important being that Colette and Presea returned to their usual self, and the group managing to obtain Mizuho's full collaboration -so now Sheena was even more than encouraged to stay with them. However, they came to situations that needed electrical power to use the flying machines called Rheairds. And to do so, Sheena was pressured into trying again to form a pact with Volt. She froze during the fight out of fright, and Corrine sacrificed his life in order to save her. Moved by it and determined not to make the sacrifice in vain, she gathered the courage to win over with everybody's help. Afterwards, now confident, she helped the group to form pacts with the other Spirits. She identified with Lloyd's ideals of a world with no sacrifices or discriminations, and also wished for both worlds to join together.
In the end, we get to see Sheena coming back to Mizuho, now as the successor of the village after Igaguri was woken up (i-in a sidequest, but still), and decided to work hard to revive their ninja clan style. It's also mentioned she'll be sent by the king at Meltokio as an emissary of peace to Iselia, by Zelos' suggestion.
[Personality] Sheena seems tough, but in reality she's dorky and cute when you get to know her. She's actually pretty decent -despite of her clothes-, kind, and sweet. Also a bit awkward and shy when it comes to feelings. Even though she's a ninja, she can be feminine. You might even see her playing hide and seek with children at Luin, or admiring flowers at Zelos's place, which isn't something you'd expect from someone introduced as an assassin. She doesn't try to look sexy on purpose, either.
She's proud and honorable: she won't turn away from a battle or duel, and dislikes to be saved or be sacrificed for her sake -although I suspect this to be most likely for her own childhood traumas and the isolation she went through. She's sensitive, idealistic, and hates injustice; she can also be impulsive and rebel to something she has to do if she doesn't believe in it. Even if she's insecure and full of doubts deep down, she does her best if it's in her power.
There's a snarky, brash, a bit violent side to her, but this is only visible if you step on her toes or provoke her in any way (silly flirting from silly Chosens totally count).
[Specialties/Abilities] Usual ninja stuff; so she knows how to fight, disappear in a smoke bomb, jump really high, swim well, that kind of physical prowesses. As a weapon she uses spell cards (her world's ofuda, pretty much), which can be used for offense or to give a companion's attack an elemental quality. She could also cast guardians, with a special variety of cards that summon them, although she ran out of them early in the game.
The most exceptional ability Sheena has is the already lost art of summoning. She's able to establish pacts with the Summon Spirits. Once a pact has been made, she can request the aid of the spirit's power at will, be it for battles or for controlling their element.
[Affection] I'm... not entirely sure what this means. Friendships are more than welcomed and encouraged, of course! <3 As for mutual romantic/sexual relationships, ask me first? But really, I don't mind flirting (I mean duh, I just joined a game with a Zelos, I pretty much expect it). ICly, if someone makes a move on her, she'd either be blushing and embarrassed, or smacking the crap out of you -depending on the situation or the person.
[Fighting] Fights and injures are fine, but I must warn I suck at RPing battles XD Don't kill the girl, though ;_; Sheena fights well, but if the other character's really strong she'll definitely lose.
[Other Facts] She likes her curry with pineapple and hates cold temperatures? XD I'll edit this if I can think of something else.
