Summary
A magical girl who continues to bear numerous misfortunes. She was orphaned soon after birth and has had a hard life ever since. Because she inadvertently possesses the ability to know the troubles of others, she is tormented by the pain of experiencing those troubles as her own in her dreams.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of scars. Its form is claws. The master of this emotion led someone to shoulder grave sin, and attempted to wash that sin away with love. But she found only a hollow void within that someone, and went on to empty out her own heart as well. This Doppel is deeply linked with its master’s empty heart, and has merged with her by mutually sharing their pain. Since its master remains conscious, but has no will to take action, the Doppel also takes initiative in her stead. With no limits on its actions, the Doppel continually absorbs both the impurity of its master’s wounds and the impurity shouldered by others, intending to take retribution against every bit of it. The Doppel emits memories of these wounds, and those who receive them will gradually break down mentally, rather than physically.

Event Appearances
Powers and Abilities
Shi has an inborn ability to know other people's pain and agony (including physical pain of victims of crime, such as the countless victims who killed by an unnamed Gang leader in Takarazaki city or a girl who saw her mother killed in front of her by one of Gang leader's hired goon aliased as 'John' and fell into a coma in Last Bird's Hope) and experience them as her own in her dreams. This is due to her mother contracting to protect her own daughter from an unknown Witch in the hospital. Her mother's wish was “May this child become somebody who understands the pain and suffering of others.” However, Shi later contracted herself and gained the ability to see other people's hopes and happiness as well, granting her full synchronization with other people's memories.
Etymology
- Her real name, Shiyui(思惟) means cintanā. Cintanā means 'to consider or discriminate an object' or 'to continue thinking about one thing' in Buddhism.
Trivia
- She is designed by Gekidan Inu Curry, just like Yu.
- Shi notably gains an extra set of arms when she transforms, which she uses to carry her pickaxes with.
- Her original release date could be read as March of 2024. However, for one reason or another, this was ultimately inaccurate.
- It's possible, due to Yu's equine appearance and Shi's pale skin, that the two represent the Pale Rider of the apocalypse, with Yu being the steed and Shi being her rider.
- Shi in kanji (死) means death, which is the name of the Pale Rider. After Shi made a wish and became a Magical Girl in climax of the Last Bird's Hope, Shi put down Yu by her own hand, because Yu was warned by Nagisa that her actions could make all Magical Girls in the world be perceived as the enemy of mankind, which will cause serious collateral damage to Magical Girls if she continued her killings.
- While the theory is plausible going off of Yu, it is debunked with Shi, lacking any solid themes of death with her abilities and doppel, rather having motifs of dreams and scars.
- Shi in kanji (死) means death, which is the name of the Pale Rider. After Shi made a wish and became a Magical Girl in climax of the Last Bird's Hope, Shi put down Yu by her own hand, because Yu was warned by Nagisa that her actions could make all Magical Girls in the world be perceived as the enemy of mankind, which will cause serious collateral damage to Magical Girls if she continued her killings.
- A keloid scar is a scar that is covered in collagen, and forms a raised area. They are more common in people of color, and can ache and itch.
- She is the first character to have five Accele Discs.
- Given that her mother could make a contract with Kyubey while pregnant, Shi's mother was likely quite young when she gave birth.
- Yu's kill list comes from Shi's dream diary, which comes from her magic ability to experience other people's pain. She writes about the horrific dreams she has of other people being abused, and then Yu goes out to kill the abusers so that Shi can sleep better.
- She, along with Iroha・Kuroe, were the last characters to be released for Magia Record.

**Unique to Yu** I will take my precious, precious "work" one by one, pulling them into the darkness. After everything has been cleansed, I cross the names off the list. This is a good thing... both for Shi and for me. | ワタシの大事な大事な“お仕事”は
ひとりずつ、ひとりずつ、暗闇へ引き込んで きれいさっぱりなくしたら、リストの名前を消していく これは良いこと…シィにとっても、ワタシにとっても |

**Unique to Shi** As I keep a dream diary, the boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred. Am I writing about dreams or reality? But that's fine...no, I want it to be so, because without the ambiguity of the world, I would not be able to see it as it really is. | 夢日記をつけていくと、次第に境界線が見えなくなってくる
今、わたしが書いているのは夢のことなのか?現実のことなのか? だけど、それでいい…いや、そうであってほしい 曖昧な世界じゃなきゃ、わたしは正視することなんてできない |

Worried about the uncertain future
I quietly entrust my heartfelt wish to you. I trust that it will bring you blessings in the future that you choose. | 先行きの見えない今を憂い
そっと託す、心からの願い 選んだ未来に 祝福がもたらされると信じて… |

Ever since they were brought together by a strange fate,
they had unknowingly become “cogs” in a cruel system that devours life. One of them was unable to resist her fate, while the other simply continued to spin. | ふたりは奇妙な縁で結ばれて以来、知らずと“歯車”となっていた
命を貪り食らう残酷な仕組みの中に取り込まれて ひとりは運命にあらがえず、ひとりは運命にあらがわず ただただ、回り続けていた |
