Mashiro Shiina is the main female protagonist and the titular character of the light novel series The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, written by Hajime Kamoshida, illustrated by Keiji Mizoguchi, and adapted into an anime series by the studio J.C. Staff.

The eponymous pet girl is currently one of the oldest major powerhouses still competing in the International Saimoe League. She has won a record number of seven gems (six necklaces and one circlet from her Nova win in 2013), tied together with Shana and Kanade Tachibana. She also seems to have an affinity for Topazes, having won four necklaces of that type. In addition, Mashiro has never missed the playoffs since her Main tournament debut in 2013, and has reached the finals once in 2014, where she lost to Date A Live main girl Kotori Itsuka.

Today, Mashiro is well-known in ISML as a cursed contestant. Despite not having an anime adaptation for more than 8 years, her strength in the contest still endures thanks to the Sakurasou voting block. Unfortunately, she suffers from a tendency to lose in the semi-finals every time -- this pattern has happened since 2015, and even now the Sakurasou faction is trying its best to break the curse, and possibly, give Mashiro the long-overdue championship she deserves.

In other contests, she reached the round of 16 in r/anime's inaugural Best Girl Contest in 2014, but she had little staying power in the subreddit, and thus, has struggled to reach even the round of 64 in the years following her debut appearance.

ISML Profile Flavor TextEdit

"The flame of artistic passion burns voraciously in this girl's heart, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. There is no reason, no hesitation, and no doubt inside her, just her art and her objective. And when the fires of Shiina Mashiro's soul finally burn out, there will be nothing left but pure-white ash.

The combination of Shiina's devotion to art and her overwhelming talent soon brought her to the top of the artistic world, far removed from the troubles and aspirations of the common folk. This might be for the better, though, as Mashiro's extreme lack of common sense and interpersonal skills make her much like an alien fumbling her way through the maze of Earth's ways and customs. Mashiro could use a manual for the proper use of panties or the procedures of making a purchase at a convenience store. But a better alternative might be to have somebody keep watch of the genius 24/7 and prevent her from getting into trouble.

But those trying to become close to Mashiro risk getting burned by the girl's fire. Mashiro herself has no idea what effect her talent has on those struggling to take their first steps towards a dream. But how could Mashiro understand the doubt and resignation of others when she herself has yet to come to terms with her own feelings? Before, she was happy to be alone with her painting. Now that her world is slowly widening, she has to face new questions about what it is she truly desires."
