Shino

Shino was a potent Harvest Cleric who used her healing abilities to provide assistance to a variety of travellers across the universe.

History
In 150,083 CMT, Shino appeared on the Dead Planet of Pyramids in front of Mia, Laros, and Luppu Dargadarga and her Ctarl-Ctarl squadron, all of whom had been injured in their battle with Geralf. Heralded by a strong gust of wind on a planet that had none, Shino approached the group and accurately assessed that they had "run into some trouble". Though Mia had not met Shino before, Mia deduced who she was from her appearance and commented that her reputation as a prominent Harvest Cleric proceeded her. As Shino kneeled down to assess the extent of the group's injuries, she lamented the fact that Laros had been forced to consume a portion of his own life force in order to battle Geralf, but assured Mia that all was not lost. Shino produced several medicinal items - a vial of crystal-clear water, a glass box full of dirt and moss, and a luminescent flower - and asked to borrow enough of their vitality to save the lives of the wounded. After her request was apparently granted, Shino raised her staff and chanted "Rip palam, tu lau repth", generating a spell that caused the objects to levitate around her.

Empowered by the the vitae and her own magical energies, Shino cured the rotting in Luppu's body with her first spell and cured the rest of the group's injuries with the second, tucking her artifacts away once complete. Shino then bid farewell to Mia, telling her that she feared for Mia's safety and imparting one final cryptic piece of advice - "There is more than one of everything" - before walking away and disappearing.

Later, Shino appeared in a network of caves below Malchior IV where the Platinum Lanterns Dirge, Kratos, and Videlle had taken shelter following their battle against Blackout and Serrator. Her arrival once again heralded by a gust of wind, Shino approached the seemingly-unconscious group and assessed their injuries, commenting that it was fortuitous that she got sidetracked after all. Shino muttered "Ol repth" and raised her staff, releasing a wave of rippling blue light over the group that quickly restored them to health. Shino's presence was noticed by Kratos, but he pretended to be asleep while she worked because he was used to receiving assistance from strangers and did not want to interrupt her. Once Shino had finished healing the sleeping warriors, she quietly wished them luck because the Makuta outside the tunnels (Blackout) gave her a very bad feeling, and walked away.
