STATUS: SEMI-STATIC (99% COMPLETE)
Shana is a young woman who has been waiting for her childhood friend Dart to return home to their village Seles for a few years. One day, Seles is attacked and burned to the ground and Shana is kidnapped and brought to Hellena Prison. Dart rushes back to the village to find her missing and sets off to rescue her. When the two are reunited, Shana insists that she wishes to stay by Dart's side on his journey. He does not have much of a choice, however, as powerful men are looking to keep her locked up for reasons unbeknownst to them. Strange things happen to Shana when she is in danger or around a mysterious creature called Virage, but she is unable to explain them. Eventually she and her companions are able to transform into Dragoons, and they must use their newfound power in order to prepare for what is to come.
I have had my hands on The Legend of Dragoon for quite a few years now, but I did not really get that far the first time I played through it. I decided to pick it up a second time rather recently, and my love for Shana was heavily renewed. She is another one of those characters who people either love or hate, moreso on the hated side. Shana may have the most shrines out of any other character from the game, but I know a lot of people think she is just weak and annoying. I personally believe Shana is very caring, generous and strong-willed. She may not be as physically strong as Rose or Miranda, but I do not think she should be discounted just because of that. Shana cares deeply for her friends, and is willing to do anything for them. She may come off as a bit immature because of her strong feelings for Dart, but she has good intentions. Though Dart and the rest of the group view her as a 'younger sister' figure for a while, she eventually proves to them that she is just as capable as the rest. I also intend to defend her character and give her the support she deserves.
