Initially, Shinatama acted as the informant to Konoko via their neural link. At this time, her personality was similar to a bright and happy child, and she considered herself a sister to the up-and-coming [[TCTF]] agent. She was also assigned the task of monitoring Konoko's [[Daodan Chrysalis]]. It was later discovered that she falsified these reports in order to protect Konoko.

Her free will, and her ability to circumvene orders, will most probably remain, but without a "sister soul", her motivations will be somewhat disconnected, "by default", from human-like emotional stakes... She will go progressively out of phase with mankind, becoming a side observer and a critic (or worse) rather than "part of it".

Owldreamer's concept of Shinatama, now an electronic ghost, creating a flesh-and-blood [[avatar]] of herself is appealing in the way that the avatar can be seen as the disembodied, seen-it-all Shinatama's ''anchor'' to humanity and to [[Konoko|Mai]]. Hikari's own inner universe is yet another field of investigation, but she's already a powerful character through what she means to Shinatama : without an anchor such as the neural link to Mai, or an avatar such as Hikari, Shinatama is the Disembodied Soul described above.
