This calm and gentle Dreaming woman comes across as exceedingly subservient, deferring to almost anyone's wishes. Not only does she serve her superiors with extreme faithfulness, she defers to the wills of her younger siblings, strangers, even the children she meets. A fierce, strong-willed person might look at her with disgust; if Shinkou is so obsessed with pleasing others, does she have room for any mind of her own?
In fact, Shinkou is quite intelligent and wise for a Dreaming Porcelain, and her subservience is a somewhat calculated personality trait; she strongly believes that smooth, peaceful interactions are essential to good social functioning, and so by constantly deferring to others she believes she improves the atmosphere, helps society, and also causes bonds, debts, and obligations towards her to form in others.
Although her behavior is strategic, she really is a compassionate and kind woman. Most people, if not irritated by her submissiveness, quite like her, and she is especially popular among the Palace attendants' children, as she has a tradition of making lunchboxes for the neighbors' kids on the second day of the week. While she has no children yet herself, she has been married 6 years to an Imperial Gardener, Raii; they live together in a small apartment at the edge of the Palace grounds. Perhaps the time for them to have their first baby will come soon...
