Shino of .hack is a Harvest Cleric and friend of Haseo and Ovan, whom the latter Shino is devoted towards.
She was a member of the Twilight Brigade, a guild led by Ovan to find the Epitaph of Twilight in The World: R2, and was the one who introduced Haseo to Ovan. When she is mysteriously PKed by Tri-Edge, Haseo's primary motivation to continue playing The World: R2 is in order to save Shino, who has fallen into a coma the real world after her character was PKed. In real life, she is a college student named Shino Nanao who is studying to be a nurse; when she falls comatose, Ryou Misaki visits her in the hospital. In the English versions, Shino is voiced by Kari Wahlgren in the games and Kelly Sheridan in the anime.
