Shizuka Shiraishi

Shizuka Shiraishi was a Demon Slayer and Tengen Uzui's former Tsuguko. Following his retirement, she took his place as the new Sound Hashira. She died in the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji.

Appearance
Shizuka was a pale, petite young woman. She had pupiless pale pink-red eyes and straight black hair worn in a loose ponytail reaching down to her waist.

She wore a dark turquoise-tinted version of the Demon Slayer uniform- the differences being the kimono-like sleeves with white sleeve garters and a pleated ankle-length skirt in place of the standard pants. She added white zōri with dark turquoise straps over tabi socks the same color. Her overall appearance likened her to a shrine priestess. After becoming a Hashira, she added a white haori fading to a pale turquoise flower petal design along the hem worn off her shoulders.

Characteristics
Breath of Silence: A breath style unique to Shizuka. The Breath of Silence wasn't intentionally developed from any other breath style as she crafted it during her years of hunting demons prior to becoming a Demon Slayer. She developed this style dependent on being unseen and striking first to make up for her lack of training and experience. She honed her ability to the point of being able to attack with such speed all of her movements were invisible to the naked eye.


 * First Form: Unseeing: A slash from the sheath with enough power to cleanly cut off an Upper Moon's arm.


 * Fourth Form: Veiled Strokes: Several consecutive slashes delivered in quick succession.

Full Focus Breath Style: During her time as Tengen's Tsuguko, she mastered the ability to remain in full focus at all times.

Nichirin Blade: As a Demon Slayer, she carried the standard Nichirin katana, hers taking on the unique appearance of nearly being translucent. The hilt was silver and shaped like a rounded five-petaled flower with hollow cores. She kept her katana in a standard white sheath.
