Shiishii

Shiishii is a repeat-offender Jiang Shi hailing from Taiwan. Due to her nature, she is close to Zombina who was given custody of her in her sentences.

Appearance
Shiishii is a young woman of average height, who wears traditional Chinese burial clothes. Her hair is pretty tousled at the front, but braided into a long braid at the back.

As a Jiang Shi, Shiishii doesn't have many external features that distinguish her from a human, apart from her sharp teeth.

Personality
Shiishii speaks with broken English, and appears to be fixated on finding a husband, even through unconventional means, as well as a rivalry with Zombina. Despite this, she's still kind enough to call Zombina frequently, to the point of being a nuisance. Zombina describes her as an idiot who doesn't think things out before she acts.

Shiishii likes the same hobbies as Zombina, such as the fact that they are both fujoshi/yaoi fans. She also has a wacky and violent side, for example when she chopped up Zombina with her fan knives. On the other hand, Shiishii expressed concern when she describes Zombina's stitches as a "little clumsy", which was ironic as she was responsible for making Kimihito sew Zombina.

In addition to her temperament, Shiishii also tends to often use phrases about life, which has an ironic sound due to the fact that she is undead (for example when she said to Zombina that stretching can mean "the difference between life and death for an undead", or when she tried to force Kimihito to follow her "life plan").

In general, the relationship between Zombina and Shiishii is difficult to describe and apparently fluctuates between friendship and enmity depending on the situation. However, as Zombina suspects, Shiishii's connection to her is perhaps based on the fact that both of them were human earlier in their lives.

Physical Traits
According to her secrets, most of Shiishii's data is the same as that of Zombina.


 * Jiang Shi Physiology:
 * Stiff Joints: since Shiishii is a Jiang Shi her joints stiffen to some degree while she sleeps, forcing her to hop around with her elbows and knees looked straight out. For this reason, Shiishii practices Tai Chi day and night, allegedly without ever skipping a session. However, even that doesn't always help if it's too cold in the morning and her knees and elbows stiffen anyway.
 * In order to stave off rigor mortis, Shiishii practices Tai Chi every morning. She can also fight using giant fan knives.
 * Immortality: Since Shiishii is undead, she cannot be killed against by any of known means, whether they be natural or unnatural cause.
 * Invulnerability: While Shiishii can still be injured, due to her undead nature no injury, no matter how severe, seem to have any effect of her.
 * Pain Threshold: Due to her nature, Shiishii is incapable of feeling pain. She is still capable of feeling pleasure (including erotic pleasure), though.
 * Toxic Blood: Instead of blood, Shiishii's body contains a special fluid that prevents her body from decomposing. It's very hazardous to everyone but herself.

Possessions

 * Fan Knives: She owns three pairs of giant fan knives.

Plot
Shiishii appeared while Kimihito and Zombina were on a date. She ambushed the former in order to force him to be her husband through a Ghost Marriage. Zombina tricked her into appearing in order to catch her. Her reason for her actions is that she wants to legally reside in Japan so that she can go to the Fujoshi conventions.

Zoological Classification


Jiang Shi (キョンシー, Kyonshī, original Chinese: 殭屍 [Traditional]/ 僵尸 [Simplified], lit. "Stiff Corpse" in Chinese), known also as "Chinese Hopping Vampires", are a zombie subspecies found primarily in Asian countries, such as China and Taiwan.

Unlike standard zombies, hopping vampires are severely affected by the symptoms of rigor mortis, making their joints, especially their elbows and knees, particularly stiff. Because of this, they must practice tai chi every morning to stretch. However, their joints always stiffen to some degree while they sleep, forcing them to hop around with their elbows and knees locked straight out.

Trivia
