Background: Shizuka's life took a tragic turn during her childhood. As an orphan, she carried a cheerful disposition when her parents were alive. However, her world shattered when she learned of their deaths due to a heinous homicide. The loss of her parents led to a drastic transformation in her demeanor. She adopted a deadpan tone and emotionless expression, shutting off her vulnerability from the world.

Her life took an even darker twist when she was kidnapped by a yakuza while playing near the orphanage. Trapped in the clutches of these criminals, she was treated as nothing more than a tool for their nefarious activities. The trauma she endured led her to suppress her emotions further.

But the fire of vengeance burned within her. One day, she managed to escape the clutches of the yakuza and return to the orphanage. Her memories surged back, and the desire for retribution consumed her. She embarked on a mission to avenge her parents, targeting those responsible for their deaths. With calculated precision, she eliminated the yakuza who had wronged her.

This path of revenge caught the attention of Ryo's father, Kiro, and Codename: Crow. Impressed by her skills and determination, Kiro extended a helping hand. Over the course of two months, he trained Shizuka in the art of assassination, honing her abilities and molding her into an even more formidable force.
