The above drawing came off a child's dress pattern. No, I only wish I could color that well. ;D

Shuriko is an original character that I created for the Land of the Lost universe. She is inspired by the Builder character from Episode #28 "Musician," written by Dick Morgan and Tom Swale. Modifications of the character for this fic were designed by Laurel. "Land of the Lost" is (c) 1974 Sid and Marty Krofft Pictures.

NAME: Shuriko
POSITION: Senshi guardian; she guides the Sailorskulls, Sailoraltrusia, and Sailorpaku.

WHERE SHURIKO ORIGINALLY CAME FROM: The Builders' planet of origin is unknown; it is only know that they came to Altrusia many centuries ago and have resided there since.

AGE, BIRTHDATE: Not applicable
MALE/FEMALE: Appears female
HERITAGE: One of the Builder's "people"

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: She takes on a human form most of the time, that of a nine year old child. This child is always way overdressed for the Land, in a fancy magenta colored dress with lacy accents, white stockings, and black patent shoes. Her blonde hair is done up in a bow and always looks pretty, even though she lives in a jungle that is pretty hot most of the time. It's obvious she's not a normal child.
Another form she can take on is the spooky trademark Builder form, a tall red glowing being shaped like a human with no face nor features. But she does not take on this form very much.

OCCUPATION: Shuriko is one of the "Repairmen" for the Land of the Lost's matrix system. She shows up whenever things go wrong, gently suggesting things that may remedy the problem. (Her name means "Repairman" in Japanese.) She also serves as a go getter of any new interesting information for the Builder, such as when new people fall into the Land, or when something new happens. Shuriko has been sent with the senshi group she guides to Earth to make sure they properly protect Altrusia (the Land of the Lost) and the matrix.

SKILLS/POWERS: Knowing things about people she could not possibly know, making things disappear/appear, making herself disappear/appear, putting people in hypnotic trances, and knocking people unconscious with a wave of her hand. These were all things the Builder did in the LotL episode in which he appeared. The Builders also have the ability to cause the evolution or devolution of a being.

WEAKNESSES: Her essential purpose is to gather information and help out, not to hurt anyone or defend herself. The Builder does not seem to totally understand others, which makes him and his lackeys (like Shuriko) stick out like sore thumbs.

STORY: Shuriko's look is based on what would seem the least threatening to many human beings (a little girl dressed for Sunday school).
