Early life

Not much of Shimizu's early life is known, but by her own account, she has had close affiliations with the now-defunct Church of the Fated God (based in Cytopia) throughout her childhood. By her late teens, she had moved to New Chiti and set up a dental office in an abandoned clinic. This was the location a majority of her crimes were committed. The location has since been demolished, and remains an empty plot to this day.

Criminal Activity

At first, the illegal clinic operated primarily on a barter system. Shimizu was known to have accepted a down payment of a tooth for each new patient, and offered her own services for removal if the tooth wasn't already extracted. She also accepted other unorthodox forms of payment, such as medical gear and chemical substances. However, the first reported death was recorded in 2067, marking an approximately four year trail of murders that ended in the deaths of 17 total victims.

Her criminal activity was stopped in early 2071, when Apopkan hero Mx. Syzygy subdued the progressively more powerful Shimizu by foreseeing her incoming ambush. The resulting clash caused significant structural damage to the theater Mx. Syzygy had been performing at, but no Civilians were injured. Mx. Syzygy used a mix of deflective attacks using her constellation shield, and offensive strategies designed to trap Shimizu, whose own strategy primarily relied on stealth and sneak attacks. These were rendered useless against Mx. Syzygy's foresight, and Shimizu was finally defeated when she became ensnared in a constellation web.

Post-arrest analysis has revealed that the nature of Shimizu's crimes progressively grew in violence and intensity over this period. While the first of her victims could be easily identified by officials, later deaths revealed vicious mutilations deemed to be the results of torture.

Methodology & Ideology

Shimizu described in her own words at trial her method of choosing and killing a victim. "It was hardly anything personal. Indeed, there is a similar link between my victims- They all had wonderful smiles. I would learn their schedules, their routines, and organize a later appointment time. As they entered the clinic, I would... Incapacitate them. Yes, via chloroform, or cruder methods. It was most efficient."

When pressed for a motive, Shimizu was recorded to break into a fit of laughter. According to official statement, she claimed that it was a 'means to an end', repeating that none of the murders were personal.

The trial was over within just a few months, as the Shimizu admitted to every crime with little reluctance.

Footage of her trial went viral in certain circles online, with her offputting behaviour and apparent lack of remorse inviting discussion from fans and detractors alike.

Abilities and Gear

Mark

Hyperdontia is a volatile mark that relies on the amount, and types, of teeth possessed by the user. Teeth from a marked creature allow the user to inherit the original mark's properties, at a muted strength. Unmarked teeth offer no special abilities, but gradually boost the user's physical and mark abilities without a known upper limit. At its most powerful, Hyperdontia can utilize hundreds of marks at maximum strength- The only drawback being the impossibility of carrying that many teeth.

If a tooth is destroyed, the user can no longer use it.

The better condition the tooth is in, the more benefits it offers.

Gear

Naoko has been stripped of all but 7 external teeth while on base at the Pentagon, which she wears as a necklace. She is outfitted with a house arrest anklet, which tracks her information directly to her Parole officer Lexi Holland.

On missions, Naoko may be given additional teeth. Additionally, she is given her trusty dental equipment back- Including access to chloroform.

Trivia

• The extra teeth adorning Naoko's visage are actually fake.
• Most of her time in prison was spent in solitary confinement, because she kept getting into fights.

Lilou Durand	THREAT: ★★★ "A mark like that would make trapping others far easier... But it is also a critical liability. As an emergency plan, perhaps..."

John Grey	THREAT: ★ "Easily manipulated. A potential source of power, if I am to play my cards correctly."
Lexi Holland	THREAT: ★★★★ "Dear Ms. Holland, my parole officer. Yes, I quite like her- She is not as cruel as she could be, and allows me certain freedoms. I feel comfortable around her, though I suppose I hardly have a choice in the matter. Nevertheless, I could have been placed with someone far worse."
Skylar Beaumont	THREAT: ★ "Afraid of me? I am unsurprised. But... I would like to learn more about these 'fancams'.

Yes, I am well aware that Jerry's intentions are impure, and I am little more than a trophy to hang above the mantle- But I would be a fool not to take advantage of such an opportunity. Such a disregard for normality... It is exhilarating."
