Senri Shiki in Vampire Knight



Senri Shiki


Senri Shiki (支葵 千里, Shiki Senri) is one of the youngest Night Class members. He works as a model alongside Rima Touya. When the Night Class is given orders to hunt down a level E vampire, Shiki is usually the one we see out hunting them. He has a whip-like weapon which develops from his blood. It is later revealed that Shiki is in fact the son of Rido Kuran, Kaname and Yuki's cousin.

Personality
Shiki possesses a personality similar to Rima Touya. He is usually impassive, and often detached to the rest of the vampires except for Rima and Ichijo. He rarely expresses emotion, and may seem like he doesn't care about anything at all. Because of his reserved nature, he keeps to himself.
Appearance
His height is 178 cm (5.8) and has a pale complexion like other vampires. He has thick, wavy, dark-reddish maroon-coloured hair. He resembles his mother greatly, though His eyes are light blue in color. As a vampire, his pale complexion makes it easy for him to sunburn and he is seen walking under an umbrella in the daytime.


Background

Like the Ichijo family, the Shiki family is pro-council because his mother's uncle is a member of the Vampire Council. Shiki's mother was also a well-known former actress, though is now a little unstable and her son must take care of her. According to the fanbook he was scouted as a model while visiting his mom while she was working as an actress. He and Rima met as they were working for the same agency. He and Rima share a love for pocky.
Not much was known about Shiki's father, only that he had died many years earlier. However, it is later revealed that Shiki's father is Rido Kuran, thus making Shiki, Kaname Kuran and Yuki Cross cousins. Senri seems to have inherited his father's ability use his own blood as a weapon, although Rido can use it to greater degree. Even though his father is a Pureblood, Shiki himself is not considered one because his mother is an Aristocrat.
