Shion Yorigami (依神 紫苑 Yorigami Shion) is a poverty god and one of the main antagonists of Antinomy of Common Flowers. Together with her younger sister, Joon, she robs innocent residents of Gensokyo of their wealth by bringing them misfortune.
General Information
Personality
Due her power making her consantly cursed with misfortune, when Shion is first introduced she had become a quiet, uncaring and submissive person, not really caring about being bossed around and berated by her younger sister. However, it seems that deep down, she wants to forge her own identity and be important in her own right, and after the events of Antinomy of Common Flowers she seems to have become independent of her sister, loitering around with Tenshi Hinanawi instead. Occasionally, she can become more passionate and suddenly start to stand up for herself, which usually coincides with releasing an enormous aura of misfortune into her surroundings. So great is her misfortune, that even just being able to eat and drink something that everyone else considers extremely disgusting makes her incredibly happy.[1]
Abilities
As a poverty goddess, Shion brings misfortune to others, but is also constantly cursed with misfortune herself since she stores it inside her own body. As more and more misfortune is stored up, it'll explode at regular intervals; at this time, Shion turns into a super poverty god who scatters bad luck all around. Through Perfect Possession, she used this power to make Joon's opponents so unlcky that they'd lose for absolutely no reason. The only one unaffected by this powers seems to be Tenshi Hinanawi, whose natural good luck has been considered to be inexhaustible by the poverty goddess. Since the misfortune also affects Shion, she seems to be unable to win any fight by herself, and even outside battles absolutely anything she is involved with always ends badly for her and anyone else involved. When she planned a couple of banquets with Tenshi, all the food and drink were disgusting, and all the partecipants, including Tenshi, became sick or had other problems.[1]
Background Information
Origin
Name
Her full name is Shion Yorigami (依神 紫苑). Shion (紫苑) comes from harujion (春紫菀), the Japanese word for the Philadelphia fleabane.[2] The Philadelphia fleabane is related to the daisy fleabane, which in Japanese is called himejoon (姫女菀), which is likely what her sister Joon is named after. On its own, Shion is also the Japanese word for Aster tataricus. Her family name Yorigami is composed of the kanji 依, which means "reliant" or "dependent", and 神, which means "god". The first kanji is also present in the term hyoui (憑依) meaning "possession", so it is possible that Yorigami could mean "possession god".
Design
Shion has blue eyes, and dark blue hair that flows as if it were a flame with a ribbon on top. She wears a gray short sleeved hoodie and a blue skirt. All her clothes are randomly decorated with what appears to bills depicting debt and eviction notices. On both her wrists there are golden bracelets. She is also seen carrying a small broken beggar's cup and a small, patched up doll of what appears to be a cat. She is completely barefoot. One of her legs appears to be surrounded by a blue spirit-like flame. On some animations she appears to lose (or hide) both legs and gain a blue ghost-like tail.
Story
Relationships
Shion's younger sister. Joon is a plague god that uses her powers to make others spend all their money and give it to her. Although Shion was fundamental for Joon's scheme during the events of Antinomy of Common Flowers, she seems to not hold Shion in high regard, as she often berates her, and heavily insults her as soon as they get cornered by Yukari Yakumo and Reimu Hakurei, calling her a "gloomy, poor, smelly, miser who can't do anything on her own", and saying how there isn't anything good about her.
A celestial with apparently inextinguishable good luck, unaffected by Shion's misfortune and that became her friend after she realized that the poverty goddess' misfortune wouldn't affect her. Since, unlike everyone else, the celestial doesn't mind being near her, Shion thinks someone like Tenshi can finally make her feel happy. After almost a year after the Perfect Possession incident, the two are still seen spending time together in Gensokyo, even organizing a couple of banquets at the Hakurei Shrine. Shion seems to care a lot about Tenshi's friendship, almost starting to cry when she thought Tenshi got angry with her due to a headache.
