Kijima Shia

Overview

Kijima Shia is a character from Gundam Build Fighters Try. She is a Gunpla fighter on the elite Celestial Sphere team at the private Gunpla Academy, led by her older brother, Kijima Wilfrid. Having returned to the team after studying abroad in the United Kingdom, she stands out as both an exceptionally skilled Gunpla builder and a formidable fighter despite her delicate, petite appearance.

Appearance

Shia is a slender, petite young girl with refined facial features. She wears the uniform of the private Gunpla Academy, which features a jacket, a skirt, a ribbon, gloves, and pantyhose.

Personality

Shia is elusive and free-spirited, easily forming connections with people she has just met while frequently surprising those around her. She possesses a unique sensibility, treating Gunpla as living beings and interpreting battle damage as physical sensation. In combat, she craves strong opponents and may politely suggest surrender when demonstrating overwhelming superiority. When expressing affection or addressing rivals, she behaves boldly and directly.

Abilities

As a master Gunpla builder, Shia is entrusted with the final adjustments for her teammates' high-performance machines. She built the G-Portent, equipping it with a miniature repair mechanism that allows for mid-battle recovery. She is also a skilled teacher, instructing Kamiki Sekai on how to repair and upgrade his machine to unlock its full potential. Her piloting skills in battle are equally refined and precise.

Background

After completing her studies in the United Kingdom, Shia returned to Japan just before the national tournament to rejoin her team during training camp. There, she met Kamiki Sekai, taking an interest in his passion and guiding him through repairing and upgrading his Gunpla. During the national tournament, she piloted the G-Portent to provide crucial combat and repair support for her team. Following the tournament, she assisted Sekai with further Gunpla building before studying abroad in Finland with her brother.

Relationships

She is the younger sister of Kijima Wilfrid and serves alongside him as a trusted teammate. Allan Adams is her uncle. Shia develops strong romantic feelings for Kamiki Sekai, building a close bond with him through her Gunpla guidance. She views Hoshino Fumina and Sazaki Kaoruko as rivals in both Gunpla battles and romance, engaging with them openly.

Trivia

In addition to the G-Portent, Shia also pilots the Gundam 00 Shia Qan[T]. She was later selected as a test pilot for a new battle system developed by Yajima Trading.
