Shion

"My name is Shion. I am Rimuru-sama's No.1 secretary. Now listen up you humans, Rimuru-sama has spoken. You either Surrender or Die, pick an option. You gentlemen should be smart enough to understand what that means. So quickly, disarm yourself and surrender to us!"

- Shion

Shion (紫苑) is the First Secretary of Rimuru Tempest and an executive within the Jura Tempest Federation's upper management. She is counted in the ranks of the Twelve Guardian Lords and Big Four, leading her own personal army, the Yomigaeri. She resides in the capital of Tempest, Rimuru City.

Ogre
As an Ogre, Shion had a wild appearance with a thick black horn protruding from the center of her forehead, the base of which had skin folded in a way where she appeared to be angry. She had large purple eyes and light purple hair tied into a ponytail, as well as a noticeably curvaceous figure with massive breasts. Her outfit consisted of a brown robe with thick woolen borders and a collar that revealed much of her cleavage. She also wore a necklace with a green stone in the center, between two white stones that looked like teeth, which in turn were also between two other green stones.

In the anime, her skin had a purple tint matching her purple color scheme, as well as a sharp tooth peeking out from the corner of her mouth.

Kijin
Similar to the evolution of her brethren, Shion's horn became narrower and she overall lost her vicious appearance in her transition to a Kijin. She became a beautiful woman with a slender and voluptuous body, reaching a height of 170 centimeters. Her hair grew much longer, and her skin also lost its purple tint.

She received a custom set of Western formal attire from Shuna; a purple business suit and light green shirt. She leaves the jacket unbuttoned, allowing a generous portion of her cleavage to spill out.

Wicked Oni
Her appearance as a Kijin didn't change much even after her evolution into a Wicked Oni.

She still wears the same purple suit and light green shirt, and leaves the jacket unbuttoned, allowing a generous portion of her cleavage to jiggle out.

Personality
Shion puts up a cool, professional exterior in public, but is actually very clumsy and rather simple-minded. She is strongly passionate about her interests and does not grasp the concept of restraint, putting her all into everything she does, be it good or bad, without considering the ramifications of her actions and those she burdens with the aftermath.

Being very emotional and hot-headed is another prominent trait of hers. When she claims to practice patience in situations, it only means her restraining herself for little more than a brief, insignificant period, bringing exasperation to any observer familiar with her behavior. She takes pride in all of Rimuru's actions and accomplishments as though they were her own and boldly shows it on her face, greatly confusing others. She is very competitive, constantly challenging Shuna and her fellow secretary, Diablo, for Rimuru's attention.

Shion used to be very insecure about her value to Rimuru and worried about him abandoning her. She envied those who were better than her in certain fields and saw them as rivals. Constantly tormented by these dark emotions, it took several life-to-death experiences and actually dying and being brought back to life, for her way of thinking to turn around. When she finally realized that Rimuru would not discard her, she learned to believe in herself more and stopped seeing others as rivals to affirm her own value, instead finding meaning in facing and overcoming her own limits.

After her resurrection, while she still tends to make impulsive decisions and tries to solve things with excessive violence, occasionally an uncharacteristic wisdom of hers shines through. When Dagruel's three sons challenged Rimuru, instead of outright killing them, she tamed them all by herself and turned them into her students, impressing even Rimuru.

Background
Shion was originally a survivor of the Ogre tribe, accompanying a small party of six that included the chief's son and daughter through the forest. While searching for refuge, she came across a masked majin, Rimuru, who she assumed was associated with the perpetrators that engineered the genocide of her people, immediately attacking him. She was quickly overpowered and left in awe by his power. The ogre princess, sensing their mistake, mediated between the two parties and brought an end to their conflict. Shion was eventually taken in by Rimuru along with her brethren and received a name, becoming his secretary.

Trivia

 * In Japanese, 紫苑 (Shion) means or Tatarinow's aster flower. The flower has a meaning in, the Japanese language of flowers, which corresponds to "I won't forget you."
 * Shion's cooking has become well known throughout Tempest. Though she acquired the Unique Skill Cook, allowing for her food to taste better, people still avoid eating her dishes since they look very unappealing and remain poisonous. Rimuru has used Shion's cooking as a means of torture.
 * Shion's breasts have been the source of many gags, which has been the case from her introduction, but it has only gotten intensified by the anime because of the enlargement they received.
 * She is considered the second strongest among the Oni, just behind Benimaru.
 * She was introduced as a mace user, but after becoming a Kijin, she switched to wielding a great sword to better compliment her brute strength.
 * She often argues and has tugs of wars with Shuna, stretching apart Rimuru's slime form. She also joins Shuna in dressing up Rimuru; the latter favors feminine clothing, whereas the former favors masculine clothing.
