Character outline
Shindo appears as a shy, but daring Day Class student, and like the rest of the other Day Class girls, she first appears as silly, because of her giddy admiration of the Night Class. She was considered as brave by her fellow Day Class students after she timidly, but bravely asked Zero Kiryu to dance with her during the ball. Shindo braids her long hair into two low pigtails and she has clips in her hair. She also wears glasses. Shindo's hair color is very light brown which almost looks blonde, and her eye color is blue.

Plot Summary
Shindo is first seen on St. Xocolatl's Day/Valentine's Day, when the day class girls stand outside the Night Class. She attempts the climb the wall to get into the night Dormitory but falls. Zero catches her before this happens though. Zero rebuffs her repeated attempts to get close to him. She attempts to give chocolates to Zero, but he refuses and tells her to leave him alone. Then she comes across him in a side story in the stables and later attempts to ask him to dance during the ball. She is not seen again until after the battle with Rido's vampire servants is over and is one of the girls who speaks up for the Night Class, one of the many voices of the Day Class girls who voted that they did not want to forget about the Night Class's secret: being Vampires.
