- "Eyes brimming with dark flame, this man rejected everything other than himself in order to bring about one singular justice...' That's part of a novel I'm writing. I was inspired by the challenger who was just here, and somehow I got a little sad... Excuse me. You're a challenger, right? I'm the Elite Four's Ghost-type Pokémon user, Shauntal, and I shall be your opponent."
- — One of Shauntal's speeches in Pokémon Black and White, this one involving N.
Shauntal is the first member of Unova's Elite Four who specializes in using Ghost-type Pokémon.
Appearance[]
Shauntal is a slim young girl. She has straight plum-purple hair that is short and flat to her head with a fringe, pale skin and dark brown eyes. Her outfit is a short plum-purple dress that has a low neck and a black ruffle decor on the skirt, and two black buttons, with black opaque tights and peachy-pink Mary Jane shoes that have a small heel. She wears an additional large black collar to her outfit that resembles the head of a cat, long black gloves, and large round glasses slightly covered by her hair. Her books and pens are pink.
Personality[]
Rather bookish, Shauntal loves to write stories. She is fascinated with her Ghost-type Pokémon, often using them as the muse of inspiration to write, as well as the trainers that she battles. Shauntal sometimes carries around with her a pen and a blank book so that way she could write the next chapter of her story. She gets her stories based on her Pokémon team.
Etymology[]
Shauntal's name is derived from "haunt", which befits her specialized type.
Her Japanese name, Shikimi, comes from 死 (shi, death), 鬼 (ki, ghost or demon), and 式神 (shikigami, a type of ghost in Shintō).
