Risa Shiramine

Risa Shiramine (白峯理沙 Shiramine Risa), known as Sally (サリー Sarī) in NewWorld Online, is one of the main characters of the series. She is Kaede Honjou's best friend who invited her to VRMMO “NewWorld Online”. Rich in game experience, she avoids all attacks with outstanding concentration and player skills.

Appearance
Sally's hair and eyes share a similar shade of ash brown. Her hair is held up by a white ribbon with bangs framing her face. Her attire in-game focuses on cool blue shades with minor gold and silver accents on things like her blade handles, breastplate and belt buckle. Her clothing looks to permit more mobility and endurance.

She wears a pair of boots that are dark grey that meet her knees in height with blue striped socks. Her one-piece turtleneck is accompanied by a pair of dark blue shorts and a silver breastplate covering only her upper ribs and clavicle. She is also in a scarf and open tench coat with puffy sleeves.

Personality
Sally is extroverted, cautious, and practical, a reflection of her past experience with other games. She also has a creative and tricky side to her, evidenced by her choice to become a swashbuckler so that her party with Maple "would never take any damage", as opposed to the more conventional choice of being a mage so she could support Maple from the rear.

While Sally is afraid of ghosts and other horror-related things, she gets fired up and highly aggressive when it comes to PVP, as she goes out of her way to slaughter many players towards the end of the second event just for a couple of silver medals. One may speculate that Sally greatly enjoys sports in general, as she has great reflexes and is a good swimmer, even in real life.
