History[]
Developing World's Odyssey[]
Shina lost her mother at a young age, and it is implied that she has been without her parents or any other family for quite some time. At approximately 19 years old, she found herself as the head of Enigma's World's Odyssey project, an ambitious Virtual Reality MMO using Aggle Inc's revolutionary "Alice Engine." For two years, she worked closely with lead programmer Arata Mizunashi and also struck a friendship with Lydia Nolan. Arata notes that while she never outwardly showed any signs of stress during the project's many pitfalls, there were almost certainly times where she closed herself into the restroom and cried alone.
Suddenly, she disappeared right when irreparable bugs plagued W.O.D. The combination of events led to Aggle pulling their funding, which led to the formal cancellation of World's Odyssey.
Shina's ending[]
In Shina's ending, time has reversed to before Shina began working for Enigma. Rin introduces Shina as the new director, and upon seeing each other, Arata and Shina's memories return of the previous timeline, and the two smile happily at each other. Iris also becomes Shina's little sister, and it is specified that Shina had been reborn as a Luden. World's Odyssey also merges with the real world.
Death end re;Quest 2 events[]
In the game event, Shina Ninomiya is working in the Wordsworth as a maid, her job is to investigate Midra and the town of Le Choara and to find Arata Mizunashi after he goes missing. She finds Mai, Rottie and Liliana to be cute and is seen overly obsessing over them in private. She is killed late in the game by the headmistress while she was investigating the town with the cultists aiding the headmistress as well. She had recorded a video on her phone showcasing her death that was picked up by one of Shina's friends and had showed it to Mai, Rottie, and Liliana. After Mai, Rottie, and Liliana defeat Julietta, however, the degrade was performed by Mai and Shina was revived once more.
Death Ends[]
In chapter 6 of Death end re;Quest 2, Mai Toyama, Rotten Dollhart, Liliana Pinnata, and Shina try to leave town but find they are unable to due to a giant wall blocking the way out of the shopping district. As they look at it, a group of hooded people travel through the wall into town. If Mai approaches them to talk to them a massive group of them suddenly arrive and join the others and surround Mai. The other three run in, telling her she was stupid to have gone up to them, which just leads to the large group kidnapping all four of them. They take the hostages to the forest and tie them to poles, then leave. A group of monsters then arrive and kill them.

Other Notes[]
- Mary Skelter 2 gives Little Mermaid and Alice (not to be confused with Death end re;Quest's Alice) costumes based on Shina as part of its "Death End Attire" cross-promotion. Little Mermaid's costume is based on Shina's World's Odyssey avatar, while Alice's costume is based on Shina's attire outside of World's Odyssey. Alice and Little Mermaid are the secondary protagonists of Mary Skelter: Nightmares and Mary Skelter 2 respectively, and Shina bears a physical resemblance to Alice in particular.
- Shina appears in the game Mega Miracle Force as two characters. The first reuses her Death end re;Quest render, whilst the second is a special Christmas version of Shina.
- In Mega Miracle Force there existed a fusion of Vert from the Neptunia franchise and Shina who's named Vershi
