Shio is a character introduced in God Eater. She is a human-form Aragami, who is also seen walking the deserts at the end of the animated prologue.
Biography
She is a mysterious pale girl who appeared before the God Eaters. The weapon she uses manifests from her hands.
Shio evidently has a lot of curiosity, whether born of her innate Aragami hunger or a quality given by her human traits. She is especially curious of Fenrir's activity, she is first shown wearing a dress made from a Fenrir flag. Shio shares a unique bond with Soma Schicksal. Soma considers Shio to be the same as him (a human-shaped monster), and thus is protective and friendly with the Aragami (although he tries his best not to show it). He is one of the most affected by Shio's departure, and afterwards his God Arc turns white due to devouring her leftover vessel. At the ending credits, her figure is shown watching the Earth from the plant-surrounded moon.

Shio's Shadow
When the Arius Nova was born in its larval state in God Eater Resurrection, Shio, who lingered within the Nova after being subsumed into it at the end of God Eater, was reborn on Earth with it. She appeared wherever the Arius Nova went (and often elsewhere as well), demonstrating an ability to tame the Arius Nova with her roar, but never remained in one place for too long, often disappearing in a black shadowy muck. For these reasons, she was given the name "Shio's Shadow."
At the end of the game, when the Arius Nova was defeated and its core devoured, Shio materialized for one final time, giving the First Unit their chance to say their goodbyes one last time before she faded, returning to her main body on the moon.
