Mashiro Shiina

Mashiro Shiina is the titular heroine of Hajime Kamoshida's light novel and anime series The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. She is the eponymous "Pet Girl" that lives in the Sakura Dormitory for high school students, and is recognized as a world-class artist for her prodigious talents. However, she has poor social skills and is incapable of even taking care of herself. She becomes the roommate of main character Sorata Kanda, who becomes her caretaker and eventual love interest. Mashiro's expressionless demeanour and asocial tendencies makes her an example of a kuudere and she is popularly believed by fans to have autism.

Mashiro is best known for being the most successful International Saimoe League contestant to have never won a Tiara yet, having come the closest in 2014 where she placed second behind Date A Live main girl Kotori Itsuka. She is infamous for losing in the semi-finals five straight times, from 2015 to 2019. Because of her overall peformances befitting of a sports curse, the Chinese moegirl wiki labels her as the "Shi Meng New King of Sadness" (世萌新悲情王 ); or in other words, the "ISML New Queen of Misery", a title she inherited from former long-suffering contestant Shana.

Mashiro is also ISML's most prolific necklace contestant, having the most necklace round appearances of all time, and overtaking Kanade Tachibana and Shana's record of seven gems in ISML 2020 by winning her 8th award, the ruby necklace. She later extends this record to nine gems as of 2021. Her gem haul contains a disproportionate amount of topazes (4 out of 9) which matches her hair color. Mashiro also currently possesses the longest necklace win streak with six consecutive years, from 2013 to 2018.

History
Mashiro has enjoyed consistently good regular season results despite not having an anime adaptation for more than 8 years; her strength in the contest endures thanks to the Sakurasou voting block. The faction is still trying its best to keep Mashiro alive in hopes that one day, she might claim the long-overdue championship she deserves.
