[What does it even mean to be a good shinki? Ginia's arms cross over her chest, head tiling down as she chews on the question. From the way some of the shinki of old gods act and from the articles in From Ama, loyal devotion are considered the traits desired in shinki. But there's no loyalty and devotion without a god worth serving and if shinki are the moral guides of their god, what good is blind loyalty?
What are the common traits of her temple? They all love a good hunt, though a willingness to fight isn't a requirement for god or shinki. Lancer and Archer are both exceedingly kind, though it manifests in different ways. Smart and analytical, duty-driven workaholics.
So they are good shinki because they work hard. What kind of message is that? Moving from her temple, what about the other shinki she knows? Ginia mulls over the few other shinki she's encountered, considering the facets of personalities and traits. A few constants that come to mind. Ginia types out her list, reads over it once, twice, before finally playing it.]
A willingness to help and protect, both others on the Far Shore and those on the Near Shore. Kindness for those around them. Being able to act independently from your god or fellow shinki, but also knowing when to follow someone's lead.
