Shuri Himejima

Shuri Himejima was a shrine priestess (Miko) from a well-known shrine under the Himejima Clan, one of the Five Principal Clans. She was Baraqiel's wife and Akeno Himejima's mother. Shuri is a beautiful woman who has long, flowing black hair and light brown eyes, as she is noted to closely resemble her niece, Suzaku Himejima and her daughter Akeno (though Akeno has violet eyes due to her Fallen Angel heritage). Shuri is noted to be a very gentle woman, who was a devoted wife to her husband Baraqiel and a loving mother to her daughter Akeno. Despite being a member of the Himejima Clan, who are known for being blessed by the Japanese Gods and exorcise evil spirits, she fell in love with Baraqiel, a Fallen Angel Cadre, despite that being considered heresy by her clan as she accepted him and loved him despite his being of a different species. She was noted to be very protective of her family as she refuse to hand over Akeno to the practitioners who were sent to eliminate Baraqiel, as she sacrificed herself to protect her daughter.
