Chronology[]
Volume 8: Gun Smoke on the Water[]
During the Mirage Spire Operation, the Strike Package engaged the Noctiluca after having dealt with the spire's Morpho. Shana took it upon herself to act as the sharpshooter atop the Mirage Spire as Kurena, who was supposed to fill the position, became too shocked to fight after witnessing the Undertaker fall into the sea. As the battle came to a close, the damaged Noctiluca temporarily fixed its railgun and aimed to destroy the spire.[3] Shana was unfortunately unable to withdraw to the lower levels, eventually falling to the sea along with the spire's upper levels.
Shiden was able to overhear Shana's last words from her Para-RAID, a simple "So cold". Shana had probably bled out. Kurena believed that she was to blame for forcing Shana to become the sniper, which sealed her fate atop the toppling tower.
Volume 9: Valkyria Has Landed[]
During the fight against the Halcyon it was revealed that, due the cold water of the sea preserving her body, the Legion recovered her corpse, assimilating her as one of the Shepherd controlling the new unit.[4] Shin first heard her voice upon arriving to the Theocracy and told Shiden about it.
Shiden told the others that she would be the one who would destroy the Shana Shepherd. After a long battle Cyclops managed to put down her dear deputy.
Trivia[]
- Her surname was only revealed in Episode 23, when Willem shows Lena the Strike Package's roster.
- Her associated perfume in the All-Star Perfume Battle is orris root.
