The Brass Tower - An Original Pokémon Audio Drama
Trina for Bashira "Shira" Kishimoto
(Bah-shee-rah) (shee-rah) (kish-ee-moe-toe)
The lead of the story. Bashira is her full name but prefers to go by Shira. Traveling from her home town to Ecuteak Village to audition to join the famous Kimono Girls. A bit clumsy and a little lost in this new adventure in her life. A failed Pokémon Trainer and not the greatest with handling Pokémon. But is super determined to join the Kimono Girls to perform and bring entertainment and joy to others like the Kimono Girl performances of the past have done for her when she was younger. Even if it means overcoming her anxiety of handling Pokémon again.
While I am open to other interpretations, an inspiration for the character is Kamala Khan from The Avengers. Which you can sample her voice here.
[Answering people's questions]
Oh please call me Shira, I much prefer it. Bashira makes me sound so old. And no, I was never much of the athletic type. But I would love to join you sometime.
[Getting ready to head out]
Yeah, I have a lot to pack up and bring here. I did kind of rush out out the door to make it to the audition and didn't pack much when I did. Should only take a day or two with the train.
[Being offered food, nervous]
Umm sure I'll take some if you don't mind. I was so nervous this morning about the interview I kind of forgot to eat breakfast.
