Senri Shiki

Senri Shiki (支葵千里, Shiki Senri?) is ne of the youngest Night Class members. He works as a model alongside Rima Touya. When the Night Class is given orders to hunt down a level E vampire, Shiki is usually the one we see out hunting them. He has a whip-like weapon which develops from his blood. Later in the series it is revealed that Senri is in fact the son of Rido Kuran, Kaname and Yuuki's uncle.

Personality
Shiki possesses a personality similar to Rima's, he is impassive, and often detached to the rest of the vampires except for Rima and Ichijo, though he rarely expresses emotion at all, even with Rima around. He appears to be lazy and indolent, and may seem like he doesn't care about anything at all because of his reserved nature, he keeps to himself. However, he will stand by his friends' side when there's danger.

Appearance
Shiki is medium-sized with a pale complexion like other vampires. He has short, thick, wavy, dark reddish hair, almost maroon-colored which he received from his mother, and he has a touch of Rido Kuran's features in the face. His eyes are like sapphires, extremely light blue in color.He stands at 176 cm tall making him the shortest male out of the Night Class.

Background
Shiki's father is Rido Kuran, thus making Shiki, Kaname Kuran and Yuki Cross cousins, and his mother's uncle is part of the council. His mother was also a former actress, making the Shiki family well known. Not much is told about Shiki's past except that his father Rido died 10 years ago. Shiki is known by the servants of Rido to be his father's puppet, but since awakening after his father's possession of his body, Shiki is no longer a puppet that can be controlled by his father.

Plot Summary
Shiki's body is currently being possessed by his father's soul, who is supposed to be dead. Though possessed by Rido, Rido claims that having Shiki regain conscious is easier than he had let on. During his fight with Rima, who tries to convince Shiki to fight against Rido and to "Stop being an idiot", Shiki is seen trying to regain control, while Rido is telling him otherwise. Currently, he is at the state of unconsciousness after being controlled by Rido for quite a long time.

In Chapter 41, he regained consciousness and after recalling the events that had taken place, apologizes to an unconscious Rima for letting Rido use his body and embraces her. He then protects Rima from a vampire, of whom is a servant of Rido. Shiki is referred to be Rido's puppet. In chapter 43, he carried Rima who is now conscious away from the building before it collapsed. During this, he suddenly confronted Rido who is fighting and glared at him before leaving.

Him and Rima went searching for Ichijo who didn't come back, later Kaname told them to stop and the both were getting ready for the ball were they ran into Ichijo.
