Shiro

Shiro is the main female protagonist of the No Game No Life series and the calm and calculative half of the siblings. Abandoned by her parents, Shiro is an 11-year-old shut-in gamer who, along with her step-brother, Sora, form 『　　』 (Blank/Kuhaku). Sora's dad married Shiro's mother, both having remarried, thus making Shiro and Sora step-siblings. Shiro is a cute pale-skinned girl with very long messy white hair that has a pale blue, purple, pink, green and yellow tint and large, passive golden/yellow-red eyes. She is rather slim and about average height (for an eleven-year-old). She often wears a purple sailor uniform which may be a bit oversized, along with thigh high stockings. Shiro is described as a genius in logic and problems but has difficulty understanding emotions or behavior, relying on Sora to help her defeat beings with emotions such as Tet in their chess match. She also rarely shows much emotion at all and, despite her genius intellect, speaks in short, terse sentences and in a third-person perspective. Shiro is a master of Chess and has won every chess game that she has played. She can speak 18 languages and learns Immanity's language in under 15 minutes (while Sora required an hour). She is also excellent with games and, along with her brother, is the best in more than 280 games. She is shown to have a dry and somewhat twisted sense of humor, displaying signs of jealousy if Sora pays serious attention to other girls, showing she has a brother complex. She is also shown to be very sarcastic when it comes to Stephanie, although she calls her "just a friend". She is also not above teasing Sora about his mildly perverse tendencies. Shiro is extremely close to her brother, to the point of requiring him to be by her side in order to function correctly. If Shiro is separated from Sora by so much as a closed door, she becomes almost catatonic until he returns to her. This can generate problems as when Shiro bathes; she does not want Sora to see her naked yet she can't be separated from him far enough to not be seen. This can be resolved with the presence of steam to cloud their view enough. However, Shiro also generally dislikes bathing as it stiffens her hair, although this was resolved by the Spiritwater Blend Shampoo from Jibril. She is shown to be a little bit rough and competitive when it comes to games and tends to show-off for any reason possible for the game. Shiro also has a slightly sadistic side to her, which she usually keeps hidden. This is shown evident when she forces Plum to lick the sweat off her feet in order for him to regain energy. Although Plum does not think too badly of it, Sora still can't help but be shocked every time he sees his sister act that way.
