She means everything to me. No character has ever changed my life like she has, it's insane how much a fictional character can significate to me. I hold Shiho very dear to me because thanks to her story I was able to gain enough courage to keep living, her passion for bass made me want to start over with music and her faith in her friends gave me hope for a less lonely tomorrow. None of these things were possibile for me before finding out about her and also the rest of Leo/Need.
She's my role model, she's pretty much all I ever dream of becoming and I sometimes get scared when I realize how far I am from being the way I desire, but she gave me enough hope to not give up yet.
Her and Leo/Need are my comfort, my biggest dream, my stars that I look up to. I'm so grateful to this stupid game for creating Shiho Hinomori and changing my life like this. Im far from being happy if I'm being honest, but whenever I think of Shiho and of how she endures everything and keeps being true to herself I feel like I can do it.
I also want to mention my absolute glorious queen Yuki Nakashima, Shiho's voice actor. Her voice is a big part of my love for Shiho and I'm so grateful that she's voiced by such a cool, kind and skilled woman that I also adore a lot.
Thank you Shiho, thank you Leo/Need.
....thanks sega too ig (I am grateful but I want to hold a grudge too and so what)
