Shiria (also written as Syria or Celia) Ootsuka is the Defense Member of Venus and a famous idol and pro wrestler in America. She has romantic feelings for Takeru Ooyama, and pursues him quite openly, much to the chagrin of the males at Tenbi Academy and the other romantic interests.
Shiria is biologically male, leaving her Jingu active almost constantly to remain in her female form as she prefers it. However, outside of the initial revelation, no one regards her as male. Her romantic feelings for Takeru actually increased when he told her he didn't mind, though he was a little upset when Shiria kissed him while in male form.
Apperance[]
Shiria is very pretty and attractive, but she's also a girl who stays in good shape thanks to her career as an idol and as a wrestler. Shiria is of medium height, long pink somewhat wavy hair, which she wears with a green headband, and beautiful reddish eyes.
Like the other members of Venus, she wears a red uniform with large shoulder pads and gold trim. She wears a very short, tight dark skirt with dark pantyhose underneath and brown boots. Shiria is also seen wearing the first-year Tenbi uniform upon entering the Academy.
As a pop idol, she wears a variety of beautifully designed dresses. In the fifth special episode, Shiria wears a very revealing outfit, consisting of dark red tights with a red sash around her neck, right forearm, and both legs, along with dark boots. She replaces her green headband with a red ribbon. She claims it's one of her favorite outfits.
Personality[]
Shiria is a very cheerful and flirtatious girl, like a pop idol she adores her fans, to whom she dedicates her songs. Always cheerful and full of energy, she is capable of doing anything without problems and without losing her smile and spirit. Few things can make her angry, one of those things is jealousy when she sees Takeru with another girl, like in the second OVA when she found him caressing Aki's breasts .
She loves Takeru very much and always shows it openly, hugging and kissing him every time she sees him, provoking jealousy in Haruko and the girls who like him. Despite this, she gets along very well with the other girls in Tenbi, especially Inaho and in turn they don't think badly of her. She is very feminine, even in her true form.

History[]
Abilities[]
Inverse - Shiria's Jingu allows her to reverse the nature of anything. Shiria uses this ability to redirect enemy attacks, enhancing her own by throwing weak blows that she can reverse into strong ones. Inverse isn't limited to physical means; Shiria can also use it to reverse the mental state of her opponents, such as their will to fight.
The limitations of Jingu are, while there is no limit that has been mentioned, Shiria must be aware of what she inverts. As such, she can only reverse things that she knows are happening and cannot reverse things automatically. As shown in the second OVA, when in a moment of anger she attacks Takeru for finding him with Professor Aki, she unintentionally uses Inverse on him, turning him into a woman.
Shiria almost constantly uses this power to reverse her own gender, from male to female. While in her female form, her Maken is only at 50% of its strength, as the rest is used to maintain her female form. If exhausted, she reverts back to her male form.
Hand-to-Hand Combat Expert - When fighting Inaho Kushiya and especially Love Espada in the manga, Shiria utilizes wrestling moves. She combines her wrestling skills with her Inverse ability, being able to lift opponents larger than herself with little effort. She is also capable of using Inverse to reduce her opponent's strength and the damage they take.
