Shanoa

How Shanoa joined the Tourney
In Judgement, Shanoa is pulled inside the Time Rift while searching for Albus, and returns to keep searching for him after defeating the Time Reaper in the game's Story Mode. Shanoa's primary concern in the Time Rift is finding a way out of it, however she does take the opportunity to test her abilities to determine if she has the power to face Dracula. She gained a measure of confidence in herself through combat with other champions who have defeated Dracula in the past (Grant, Maria, and Simon respectively).

After preventing Dracula's rule one again using Dominus, Shanoa prepares to retire but is soon challenged by Robin to a battle in the second Tourney.
