Story[]
NA Manual description[]
Shyna is the Messenger of Justice designed to restore peace to the world. She carries both the Silhouette and the Mirage attributes within her. In order to fight Silhouette and Mirage enemies, she doesn't use conventional weapons; rather, she uses parasites that help her to destroy the enemy. She is rather stubborn at times, and she hates to lose.
As the 'Messenger of Justice', created by the supercomputer Gehena, her mission is to find the computerized system called Edo and eliminate any anomaly within it. At the beginning of the game she has amnesia because of the explosions at her shelter.
When Shyna arrives at the core of Edo it is revealed that she is simply a bomb that will go off once she is close enough to the core meaning she truly has no say in whether to revive Edo or not.
