Ophiuchus Shaina is a Silver Saint of Athena in the twentieth century. Because of the decision to become a Saint of Athena, she was forced to follow strict rules due to being a woman. Because of these rules, Shaina had to wear a mask. When wearing this mask, she must reject her femininity. As a result, she behaved like a man, and was in turn respected as one. Shaina was renowned as the most powerful female Saint. According to Shaina, a female Saint being seen by a man without her mask is much more worse than being seen naked. If such a situation were to happen, the female Saint would be forced to make a choice between either killing the man or falling in love with him.
In the Japanese version, she was voiced by the formerly Mami Koyama and currently by Yuka Komatsu. In the English version, she was voiced by Kira Vincent-Davis, Katie Griffin and Katelyn Barr.
