Shiori Nakamura

Shiori Nakamura (詩織中村, Nakamura Shiori) is one of the twelve Captain-Generals of the Shuuten, with joint authority over the 2nd Division who is more well-known throughout Heisekai by her twin monikers of Topaz and Pearl, in reference to her birth-month of November. She is the middle child of two unnamed parents, as well as the sister of Fujimoto and Akira Nakamura respectively. Alongside her brother, Yoichi, Hiei and various members of their respective divisions, Shiori participated in the Invasion of Kōhai Tochi to uproot the Collective Vices and, through certain events, met Harumi Kazuki and friends, where she proceeded to combat the Imawashī with them. She later held off Shinzō as Harumi and Co. fled, with Yoichi later intervening in her struggle.

Appearance
Shiori is a beautiful woman with light blond hair styled into a single ponytail which she sometimes braids, with light blue eyes. Her fringe is windswept to the left with prominent bangs framing her face. Harumi thought her to have a certain motherly quality. Her clothing consists solely of a summer yukuta-style kimono, colored a dull white, complete with a pair of simple straw sandals. Within Heisekai but not when operating outside its borders, Shiori wears a bracelet encrusted with moonstones as a way to show her rank.

Personality
Shiori appears to be an understanding, as well as perceptive woman. When she met Harumi and Ashni she was quickly fit to calm them, see through their lies -- which didn't bother her because she guessed their reasons -- and ultimately come to the conclusion that they were hiding from the Collective Vices. Her calm is rarely broken, demonstrated when confronted by Shinzō and the remaining members of the Imawashī. She is also motherly by nature, and looked out for Mariko during her stay in Heisekai without having to be asked, and done the same for her brother, Itazura.
