Ｓｔｏｒｙ

Not much is known about her past or who her actual family was. While it is implied that she is an orphan, like Albus or other children being trained by the order to be the vessel of Dominus, knowing the truth of the order there's the possibility they could have just taken potential children to the order.

This is a truth that will never be known as neither she or Albus remembered another life prior to coming and being part of the Order and that's all the life she has known. Not even her name can work as a clue, as it's only a codename, this being done as a way to keep any hints of her past and lineage unknown.

Shanoa was eventually chosen as a vessel for Dominus by Barlowe. However, before the performing of the ritual, she was attacked by her adoptive brother and fellow Ecclesia member, Albus which ended with her losing her emotions and memories. Upon awakening, Shanoa heard Barlowe's version of the events and received the order to retrieve him and Dominus from Albus.

She ventures upon the Wygol Village and travels across various dungeons while saving the villagers, and aiding them through Quests. All of these trapped Wygol villagers mention something about a "man" who imprisoned them in Torpor Glyphs. On several occasions, she meets Albus carrying a part of the Dominus Glyphs, and it was further revealed that he was actually behind the capture of these villagers. He offers the two parts of Dominus to Shanoa as "gifts", and without question, she willingly absorbs the two, believing that it was all for the mission entrusted to her by Barlowe.

However, at the Oblivion Ridge, Albus did not give the third Dominus Glyph to Shanoa, but instead explains to her the true nature of these glyphs; that the Dominus is a copy of Dracula's power, and the usage of the Dominus takes a toll on one's life. Shanoa, feeling betrayed, returns to Barlowe, explaining the situation. She is then tasked to take the corrupted Albus down for good at the Mystery Manor.

After the battle, Shanoa finally absorbs the remaining part of Dominus. After this process, she began hearing various conversations between Barlowe and Albus. It was revealed that the latter's plan to steal the Dominus was in order to save Shanoa from the threat of using the glyph. The soul of Albus manifested as it had been merged with the last part of the Dominus that she had absorbed. His only advice is to avoid casting the union of Dominus at all costs.

Shanoa heads back to Ecclesia to confront Barlowe. This time, she does not follow the magician's orders, and the two fight, resulting in Barlowe's defeat. However, he offered his life to the coffin that houses Dracula, which then causes the dark lord's castle to arise again.

Now alone in Ecclesia, she heads to the castle to banish Dracula, as she is the only one capable of doing the task. Shanoa battles Dracula at his throne room, not long after he would unleash his ultimate magic upon being defeated. Using the union of the Dominus Glyphs, the spell was countered and Dracula is killed once again.

But the cost of this was her life, but a turn of events occurred as the soul of Albus appeared once again, trading his own with Dominus for her revival. Just at this moment, he requested her to smile again and she does, signifying that Shanoa has indeed recovered her memories and emotions.

She is able to escape the castle just before it crumbles. It was later revealed that all records of Ecclesia were erased and destroyed, probably by Shanoa as a revenge for the cult.
