| [[File:Plain-black-background-02fh7564l8qq4m6d.jpg|alt=Image Redacted.|thumb|Image Redacted.]]
| |
| Shiba Kanei was born in Tokyo Japan in the year 2051, to Himura Kanei and Yutani Kanei. She, however, barely made it out. At birth she was diagnosed with [[wikipedia:Asplenia_with_cardiovascular_anomalies|Ivemark syndrome]], causing her life expectancy to drop to near-nothing. In order to sustain her life, an estimated hundred thousand [https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Eurodollar Eurodollars] was spent every year to replace and repair her organs with synthetic counterparts. The first thirteen years of her life were spent in a hospital, and nothing notable occurred.

| === Education ===
| |
| When she was fourteen, she finally was allowed to leave the hospital. She had seen education while hospitalized, but her parents had wanted her to go to proper school. She attended primary school in Japan, where she received decent grades and finally graduated at nineteen years old. Against the wishes of her parents, she attended [https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Night_City Night City] [https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Night_City_Technical_College Technical college.] She spent four years there, however there are no records of her ever attending, or receiving any grades. All information points to her parents removing the records.

| === Night City ===
| |
| Shiba spent only four years in Night City. However, these four years changed her drastically. There are no records of how or why, but she was likely involved in criminal activity between the [https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Tyger_Claws?so=search Tyger Claws] and the modern [https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Yakuza Yakuza.] The time in Night City radicalized her political and social views, starting a rebellious phase, which was quickly put out by her hesitant parents.

| === Arrival ===
| |
| Shiba Kanei was among the first five to appear on the [[FAS Odyssey of Hope]] after traveling through universes. Unbeknownst to her she had more cosmic relevance than she expected. She found that none of her [https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Cyberware?so=search Cyberware] was damaged in the transition period. Very quickly she came into contact with [[Ethan Feyrer]], who she had never met before, but somehow knew who she was. After learning about her situation, she resolved to figure out even more about the world. In that day, the Aescir Rogues attacked after Ethan Feyrer had switched on the station's systems, powering them on and breaking the concealment that the Odyssey had lived under for the first time in decades. Alongside other notable people, such as [[Jack Mender]] (ODST), Kolsa, and an unnamed combat android.

| === Timeline A ===
| |
| Timeline A, commonly referred to as the original timeline, due to it's direct relevance in the current universe Shiba has been transported to. In this timeline, she never visited Night City, as it did not exist. Instead, she attended all of her education in Japan. Once she finished that, she had become jaded by her life, and the reasons she has been allowed to live, and the methods behind them. Her personality in this timeline can be best described through her [[wikipedia:Machiavellianism_(psychology)|Machiavellianism]]
| |
|
| |
| ==== Early History ====
| |
| Finally jaded enough, she was done. She reached what she described as a breaking point. Shooting and killing three members of the security staff under the employ of her family, she stole an armed transport [https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Aerodyne AV] and flew to the prefecture of [[wikipedia:Tottori_Prefecture|Tottori]], where she planned to lay low and disappear. She changed her name to Shiba Chiyako to further this, and became a [[wikipedia:Mercenary|soldier of fortune]] to pay her bills. By this time, she had enough Cyberware in her body to make her lifestyle possible.

|
| |
| ==== The upheaval of Tottori & Folk Hero status ====
| |
| [[File:8102 12.jpg|thumb|The Sand Dunes that the final confrontation occurred in.]]
| |
| It did not take long for Shiba to become known in Tottori. It was a small town, and she was incredibly capable. As a mercenary, she took [[wikipedia:Subcontractor|subcontractor]] jobs for the local PD, which was comprised entirely of mercenaries. She easily outshined the other [[wikt:rent-a-cop#:~:text=Noun,a%20true%20law%20enforcement%20officer.|rent-a-cops]]. In pseudo-Western fashion, a rift easily formed in the relative peace held between the criminals, and the passive law enforcement. Three years would pass, and in this time, she would become famous in the region for hunting down the criminals with oppressive force. She was especially known for not carrying handcuffs, or any sort of tool for pacification. She reportedly never made any arrests in those three years, all of her confrontations ending in the criminal's death. It all came to a climax at the end of those three years.

|
| |
| She led her group, comprised of four other mercenaries who'd been with her for most of the time. They were well-armed, all carrying rifles and wearing body armor. Explosives carried as well.
| |
|
| |
| The opposing group was led by a criminal boss, who had been working against the enforcers the whole time. Alongside him was a practical army of twenty poorly armed gangsters. All that was left.
| |
|
| |
| The battle ended after an hour of touch-and-go gunfighting, alongside multiple retreats from the criminal side. The fight took them all the way to the edge of the ocean, where the criminals finally had no ground to retreat to. Shiba returned to the town, with only one death on her side. Celebrations lasted the entire night, until four unmarked AV's appeared over the town. They began to search. They were from the same corporation Shiba fled from. When the locals wouldn't hand her over, a genocide began. This would be remembered as the Upheaval of Tottori, and officially recorded as a major gas line explosion. It is entirely unrecorded how Shiba escaped, but she then knew she had to switch countries entirely.

|
| |
| ==== Seoul, 2068 ====
| |
| Shiba arrived in Seoul after, having ditched most of her status and equipment. She wanted to start anew, and she did. During this time, she met dozens of critical figures in her life, some of which being Uchida Feyrer and [[Ethan Feyrer]]. Her reputation exploded, as she became the most sought after, and the most reputable mercenary in the city. Her exploits were so widely recorded, a local corporation known as Falcon Corporation hired her to train their anti-cyberpsycho police force. In this time, she ruled her reputation through fear and precise cruelties. She made a horrible example of anyone who wronged her, and manipulated the people who loved her, through her outward persona. She acted very bubbly, happy, and was extremely extroverted. Drawing people in, who in her mind, she could use to build her power. She went on dozens of jobs, none of which that she personally oversaw ending in failure. Some of her greatest stories involve defeating a battle mech in duel combat while injured, assisting to foil an international bank scam, blowing up half of the local Seoul PD building in lieu of clearing out the terrorists inside, and staging a terrorist attack on her own apartment that blew up the whole floor to prove a point to the corporations after her, alongside many more. Her legend hood continued only too far, until she found the corporation she would manipulate until she died. FeyrerCorp, ran by Ethan and Uchida Feyrer, was her home for a few months at most. By this time, she'd been going cyberpsycho herself, starting to physically retaliate against the people around her, and emotionally destroy those who were weak.

| ==== Death ====
| |
| Shiba Kanei died twice. The first time, she was hit by five military grade EMP's at once, essentially detonating over half of her body. She was then stabbed in the heart with a heated blade. Feyrercorp, utilizing their living metal program, transferred her brain into a [[wikipedia:T-1000|T-1000]]-like machine. Then, shortly after, she took her own life. Death had sobered her, and paired with a new clarity of mind she realized how much harm she had done. She would be the final person she ever hurt.
