profile xx personality xx evolution xx relationships Symphonia exhibits a great deal of character growth and development. In the case of Sheena, the evolution we see in her character has a lot to do with overcoming her fear of failure and realizing that everyone belongs in the world and has a right to live, despite their race, past, family, etc.

Sheena took on the mission of assassinating Sylvarant's Chosen in order to prove her devotion to Mizuho by saving Tethe'alla. Her resolve toward the mission was caused by her need to make up for what had happened years ago with Volt and also a need to fit in; as a summoner, Sheena has elven blood, so even outside of Mizuho she felt alone. But after joining her friends on the journey to reunite the two worlds, everything changes.

Lloyd, although naive, acts as the voice of reason that changes many people's minds. In Sheena's case, it's only with the support of Lloyd and her friends in the party that she's able to gain the courage to form a pact with Volt again. Sheena was uneasy about forming pacts in the first place, especially when asked to attempt another pact with Volt. Upon arriving in Mizuho, Sheena runs away from her friends until Lloyd speaks with her. Sheena decides to form the pact, and upon doing so she gets frustrated with the fact that Volt is not speaking. The summon spirit attacks, but Corrine, the man-made summon spirit that Sheena first formed a pact with, takes the hit and dies. Inspired by Corrine's sacrifice and the support from her friends, Sheena finally forms a pact with Volt, thereby regaining her confidence. In a particular sidequest, Sheena and co. can visit the Temple of Lightening and retrieve the Chief's spirit to awaken him from his coma. After that, Sheena is named the new Chief of Mizuho. Another trying moment follows when the party goes to fight Cruxis. Sheena get trapped in an illusion of Kuchinawa telling her that she is responsible for the deaths of the people of Mizuho, but Lloyd helps Sheena come back to her senses.

Aside from re-uniting the worlds and defeating Cruxis, another goal of the party is to end discrimination, mainly against half elves but also to prove that everyone has a place in the world, and their lives has meaning. Sheena, who felt isolated for her whole life, finds acceptance within the party and believes strongly in the cause. She's able to face her fears with their help and support. Throughout the game, she is able to make the change from a clumsy assassin who is afraid of failure to a confident hero and leader of Mizuho. (Yay!)
