A girl from the flourishing world of Tethe'alla, Sheena is originally sent to Sylvarant by the Pope and the King with orders to assassinate Colette Brunel. However, after helping the party save the humans in the Asgard ranch, Sheena joins the party. Sheena is a skilled warrior from Mizuho, a hidden village of ninja. She is tough but kindhearted, and is always accompanied by Corrine, the only man-made Summon Spirit and Sheena's best friend. Because of her good looks and impressive figure, Zelos Wilder loves to flirt with her; but she usually manages to set him straight, often in a violent way.
At the age of nine, Sheena ventured to the Temple of Lightning with people from Mizuho in order to form a pact with Volt, the Summon Spirit of Lightning. Unfortunately, Volt went into a rage, killing a quarter of Mizuho's population and causing the chief of Mizuho (her adoptive grandfather) to fall into a coma. The causes are not explicitly revealed, but presumably, Sheena was too young and inexperienced to attempt to make a pact (which involves fighting the Spirit). Volt later suggests that Sheena's first attempt at pact-making failed because he was unwilling to deal with humans. It is also possible that the attempt failed because no one in the group present at the pact-forming attempt could understand Volt, the only Summon Spirit that does not use human speech; Sheena says "It's just like before! What the hell is he saying?" before Raine translates. It is because of this incident that many of her fellow ninja bear a deep grudge against her. However, Kuchinawa, who lost his parents, seems to the only one to actively seek vengeance; his brother, Orochi insists that it was an accident and that Sheena should not duel Kuchinawa, and other members tell Sheena to persevere when it becomes clear that she must make a pact with Volt.
Armed with a variety of magic-infused seals, Sheena proves a decent melee fighter, and has many techniques that can lower an opponent's statistics or inflict various status ailments or special effects (such as causing them to stagger for longer periods of time). More importantly, however, she can call upon powerful Summon Spirits to aid the party in battle. These summoning abilities are also vital to the storyline, such as when she summons Undine to save the group from falling to their deaths on the Tethe'alla bridge, or uses the Summon Spirits of Tethe'alla to save the world from the out-of-control Giant Tree. With the exception of Corrine, she can only summon when she is in Overlimit mode, and at a heavy cost to her Tech Points; however, because Overlimit prevents the enemy from interrupting Sheena's incantations, Summon Spirits supply guaranteed damage (and a lot of it at that) to any enemies nearby.
Same here; Lloyd, Kratos, Sheena, and Raine was my time most of the time. Lloyd and Kratos for some uber combos; Sheena for her Overlimit summoning and stat effecting spells, and Raine for her healing powers.
That's common knowledge right there. But Namco does make some good games; I was disappointed at their attempt at Star Fox though. Nintendo does a better job with Star Fox.
Ah yes. The infamous 19-year old ninja chick with the big chest. Always been my favorite ToS character (not simply because of that, though).
And eh, not sure if any of you know this, but there's this ToS OVA (anime series) they've been making. You should be able to find a few episodes of it on veoh (a video site very similar to youtube), with Sheena being in a couple of 'em, but it's all in Japanese with english text at the bottom.
Yeah. It's based off of the game (needless to say), but there are quite a few things in this anime that contradict some parts of the story in the game, as you'll see by watching it...
Still pretty good nonetheless. Anyhow, here's the first episode that has Sheena in it.
But apparently you have to download a veoh player there to be able to watch the whole episodes (the above is just a 5 minute preview).
'tis okay though, as downloading it's free and doesn't cause problems or anything.
Of course, if you don't want to go through the trouble to watch it, that's understandable.
