BACKSTORY.
Losing their family to a demon in their childhood, Shiori spent some time in the entertainment district, having been left there by their uncle – much to the dismay of their cousin, Rai – as he claimed he had too many mouths to feed already. Taken in by a house, they kept away from the customers generally, unless they were bringing one up to see someone else, though they were taught some of the traditional skills that the girls were taught as well. However, they were not in the house for too long before the owner of a Wisteria House of the Demon Slayer corp bought out their debt.
They were far happier living within the Wisteria House and helping demon slayers, even more so once they were taken in by Rengoku Ruka, wife of the Flame Pillar, Rengoku Shinjurou. They worked for the Rengoku family as a medical aid to Ruka, but in truth they were treated so close to family that one who was unfamiliar with the family would hardly think otherwise. It was only after Ruka’s death that Shiori went on to see training in the art of slaying demons from the former Wind Hashira, Takemoto Noriko.
Joining the demon slayer ranks, they stayed until an unfortunate turn in a mission against a lower moon resulted in a severe internal injury that led to their retirement as a slayer. However, they did not leave the corps in any official manner as they instead went back to their former Wisteria House to take time in determining what it was they wished to do. Dedicating themself to the growth and cultivation of the wisteria blossoms surrounding the shrine, as well as forming charms and perfumes made of the wisteria for those with marechi blood to ward demons, they continued to practice their breathing forms, but now with metal fans and hairpins sharp as knives with wisteria poison compartments inside.
They work often with the Butterfly mansion in sharing information about wisteria poisons and extracts, and as such were gifted with a pair of fans with razor sharp retractable 'teeth' made of nichirin steel that the Demon Slayers use, though crafted with their use of poison over sheer strength in mind. The breathing style they use now is Petal Breathing, a form that focuses on dexterity and poison, similar to Insect Breathing, but as they use fans and hairpins as their weapons, that is where the main difference lies
