Shakiniel, Defender of Dawning Hope, is one of the Holy Supernals of Celestia. She will always protect those weaker than herself and guards against despair, and so it is believed by those in New Celest that hope will always dawn where Shakiniel watches.
Her short black hair glitters with diamonds, and her skin is tinged a light blue, making her resemble a merian. She wears a gleaming gold breast plate that contours to her muscular body and a skirt of golden links that reveal her athletic and shapely legs. In one hand, she wields a longsword that crackles with blue energy along its blade, and the other a shield made of cobalt blue light, that looks like a disc of spinning sky. Coursing over her body is the same crackling blue energy on her sword. She floats in the air with her massive golden wings calmly stretched out to their full length. She exudes an aura of safety and security for those who follow the Light. She does not even register your presence as a threat and she weighs about 377 pounds.
