Ever since she was a child, the sound of waves and the scent of salt have felt like home to her. Shia is openly affectionate, never shy about closeness or touch — warmth, to her, is how she connects with others. She often laughs about her sharp sense of smell, saying she can remember people better by their scent than their faces. Beneath her playful charm lies quiet determination: the wish to live up to her grandmother’s legacy as a legendary sea Trekker, while still chasing her own adventures.
