But relationships aren't the only thing that motivate Shion. He believes in people, but he also believes in people being able to achieve more than they have in the past. He believes in hope, and he believes in progress. This is shown by him staying behind in No.6 despite Nezumi taking off to become a wanderer. Although Nezumi is his irreplaceable partner and person whom he believes keeps him human, Shion opts to stay behind and help with the reconstruction efforts. He is shown to take on a leadership position within the reconstruction committee even if leading people is not what he is naturally inclined to do. He also believes in peace and compromise over violence, as he takes this stance several times against Nezumi even though the authorities in No. 6 had no qualms about framing him for a murder, and taking the stance led to some serious fights between the two of them.

And, when he's around people, Shion is generally interested in engaging with them and seems more than content to listen to people talk about themselves. He is able to make friends with Inukashi rather quickly even though Inukashi is a rough sort of person and generally doesn't trust other humans. Really, unless Shion sees the person as a threat or the person is directly hostile towards him, Shion is amiable. That said, Shion is more inclined to be helpful towards people he likes or whom he perceives as needing help—that is, people who are in some way worse off than himself. That might make him a bit of a jerk in some people's eyes; also a bit of a sexist, since he admits to Nezumi that one of the reason why he helped him when they were twelve was because he thought Nezumi looked like a hurt girl. The other thing that might make him come off in a bad way is his cluelessness to some social cues. Also, he's too trusting and doesn't automatically assume the worst of people, so he may come off too strong, or even seem too be faking it. Inukashi even asked him if he had some kind of mental disorder that would make him so soft.

He has an extremely high IQ and a wide range of practical knowledge from reading textbooks and living for six months in a slum but. Also, because he survived the parasitic bee in his neck, he has translucent white hair, violet eyes, and a 2cm thick red scar wrapped around his body from his ankle to his throat. He was born with normal brown hair and brown eyes.

Even if he's lived six months in the slum, Shion was bred a city kid, so the sheer physicality of the setting with wear on him at first. Mentally he'll be in a state too since the point where he's from he's just reached spring, and, to be sure, it was an awfully long winter. It'll be a blow that it will be winter again—and who knows for how long? In terms of interacting with the setting, he's going to have a hard time trusting the network. Obviously someone dropped them all there, so there's not a doubt in his mind that they're monitoring the network to keep up with what the residents are doing. This however will only make Shion more anxious as he will start to crave human contact, kindness, and warmth; it's not fun being paranoid for so long. His intelligence and massive power of memorisation will allow him to navigate the map easily, though, so he'll have to use his tablet not so often. Interacting with people tête-à-tête should be fairly easy though since he has some medical skills (like suturing a blood vessel )and will actually be able to use them provided he can find supplies.

As a consequence for a death I want him to lose his eyesight. He will be rendered useless—at least he will think he is—which will put him back into an uncomfortable mindset he's had several points in canon. And, without Nezumi around, he's really going to have to reach out to those around him so that he doesn't die again The death itself will put him in a bad state since he promised to live for others, so the reaching out for help will be extra hard when he's feeling like he doesn't deserve it. Losing his eyesight will also force him to rely more on the network.
