Personality:
Shintani is a naturally cheerful person, generally getting along with those she meets. She believes she can accomplish any task and will accept any promises to do something no matter how ridiculous (provided she WANTS to do it). Enjoys fashion and chocolate. She likes her scars and doesn't shy from showing them. She'll often recover from a punch to the face with a smile on her lips, as she sees giving and receiving pain as a form of praise. She will jump at the chance to fight, especially against stronger opponents, but will back off if it's too hopeless. While she causes much damage to both herself and the enemy she tries to avoid killing except as a last resort. She participates in the war to perfect her magecraft and forever stand out as a Fire magus.
Biography:
Shintani came from a mediocre Japanese-Irish family in service with the Mages Association's Japanese branch. Her parents raised her as a proper magus wishing for nothing more than to give her a good life and the love she deserved. Shintani was naturally grateful and loved her parents in return, but as she grew older she found her life to be...boring. Too normal, too average, too 'the same' everyday. She had heard stories of other magi, capable of amazing feats with their magecraft that she could only dream of doing. Her pitiful, average, Fire affinity was the basic of the basic in terms of the Elements. So at the age of 16 she began trying new, custom spells she'd come up with herself.
Her spells were beyond dangerous, pushing herself past her limits to create the most powerful fire she can muster. Her spells often went out of control, causing damage to herself and those around her. Seeing this her parents demanded her to stop, but she refused, sure that she'd never get anywhere if she simply stuck to the norm. Hearing of this her grandfather said he would take her in and teach her advanced magecraft, while ensuring she would not harm herself during training. Shintani agreed and so did her parents, albeit reluctantly. Her grandfather, however, told half truths.
For the next 5 years Shintani was trained in the most destructive fire spells her grandfather could pass down. Her grandfather was an Irish tutor to aspiring Japanese magi with a Fire affinity and she learned alongside them, as well as fought them. Part of her grandfather's training was experiencing peril to force one to reach their potential so Shintani would be fighting multiple opponents, more powerful than she and not holding back. She received many wounds, but none were self inflicted as he promised. Through this she grew and honed her magecraft, mastering destructive spells while limiting and recoil to herself. Eventually she would surpass her peers in ability and as if learning by their example she did not hold back, leaving as many scars to them as she was inflicted with. Despite this antagonistic relationship with her fellow students she remained on good terms with them.
Her grandfather noted how little resistance she had towards feeling pain, stating it was masochistic in a sense yet not pleasurable. She delivered pain unto others in much the same way and he determined her Origin was closely related to pain itself. She did not wish to see herself or others hurt, but responded with glee in the aftermath. She treated pain as if it were a way of communication that allowed both parties to learn from each other. While this amused him, he cautioned her to learn self control and so she did. Ironically this allowed her to appreciate pain more as it now became a more rare occurrence.
As the time of the Holy Grail War neared, her grandfather set up a mock battle with 3 other magus from more prestigious families than their own. His plan was for her to defeat them all and gain recognition for participation in the war. It was intended to be a free for all, but the 3 worked together to fight against her and remove the "average" magus from the start. Despite the disadvantage, she managed to defeat them all, but broke her grandfathers promise to never harm herself in the process. She discovered mid-battle that she could increase her spells capabilities by risking herself. It wasn't a one-sided or flashy win by any means, but her determination seemed to appeal to the Mages Association as she was granted the opportunity to participate. Pleased with this, her grandfather granted her a blood stained scrap of armor to use as a catalyst for the summoning.
