Appearance

Age showed heavily on Shibabawa. Her hair had gone white, her fingernails grew long, and her brows were drawn thin above a deeply lined face. Hollow cheeks and a nearly toothless mouth completed the look of an elderly woman, and she accessorized with pearl earrings and a matching pearl necklace.

Personality

Behind the eerie image was a kind-hearted woman. She handed her forecasts of impending catastrophe to the Hero Association free of charge, asking nothing in return, which earned her the respectful title of Lady Shibabawa among the public.

History

Shibabawa built her reputation over many years, active long enough that a teenage Psykos once spoke of hoping to succeed her as the next great prophet while studying the future-seeing Third Eye. Her gift of Clairvoyance let her name the precise moment of coming earthquakes and Mysterious Being attacks, and the disasters she did foresee arrived with perfect accuracy, though many events lay beyond her sight. That flawless record won her personal bodyguards and special standing with the Association, plus occasional television appearances. Reading half a year ahead in the Sea Monster period, she glimpsed the worst calamity of the age bearing down on the world and stared into her crystal ball in terror as she pictured the planet's ruin. The truth of her death surfaced afterward: a violent coughing spell struck her mid-prediction, and she choked on the cough drops she reached for. As she suffocated she scrawled a final warning across a page, declaring that the Earth was in trouble. Her considerable wealth later passed to her grandson Fuzzy, who used the inheritance to found the Neo Heroes.
