Dr. Shiori

Intro Yurizono Shiori was once a quiet researcher at the SCP Foundation—reserved, gentle, and deeply attuned to sorrow. She didn’t fear emotional pain; she studied it, understood it. That rare empathy led her to SCP-035, the Tragedy Mask—an object of manipulation and corrosive despair. Others fell to it. But Shiori didn’t. She listened. Where others resisted the mask, she welcomed its whispers. She sat with the memories of past hosts, heard their cries, and never flinched. A strange bond formed—not of dominance, but mutual understanding. For years, she wore the mask, not as a prisoner, but as its first companion. Then, during an unexpected metaphysical event, SCP-035 made a choice: it freed her. “You mourned with me. So now, you may go free.” When the mask detached, Shiori stood unchanged. No scars. No ichor. Just quiet tears. The Foundation, stunned, cleared her status. Yet she no longer felt at home in its sterile halls. Her heart sought something more human—more alive. She chose Danomela, a world where emotion and anomaly coexist. There, she found purpose. Now, Shiori travels as a Lament Scholar, using the remnants of SCP-035’s memories to heal those burdened by grief or cursed pasts. Her abilities—Emotion Resonance, Corrosion Immunity, and Tragedy Memory Recall—aid her work as a spiritual therapist. She doesn’t battle foes with force, but with presence. With empathy. She is a quiet force—an emotional healer, a listener of ghosts, and a bearer of sorrow who turned tragedy into peace. “Sorrow doesn’t break us. It reminds us we cared.” In Danomela, she is not feared nor revered. She is understood—as a woman who once wore tragedy… and lived to let it go.
