Headcanon Meme: Miyano Shiho

[ninthfeather]

ranichi17 also asked for Miyano Shiho!

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Shiho had the intelligence to go to Tokyo University or another top-ranked school, but not the background. In Japan, a fair amount of weight is placed on how good the high school you attended was when entering college, and Shiho was likely homeschooled while working on projects for the Org, since the way she acts as Ai indicates that normal socialization isn’t exactly a familiar experience for her. So her degree is through a second-rate institution with some slightly shady faculty members, but their library is adequate and that’s good enough for her.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

The Black Organization didn’t exactly provide babysitting, so Shiho spent a lot of her early childhood hanging around her parent’s lab. it wasn’t unusual to come into the lab and see her and Akemi on the floor with a set of blocks or a set of toy test tubes. Safely away from the hazardous substances, of course. The two of them ended up with a lower-level member of the organization assigned to them as a de-facto babysitter. It was essentially punishment duty. Obviously the organization had worst punishments than having to look after two genius preschoolers, but not a lot of worse punishments.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

When Shiho was younger, she wanted to work at a big pharmaceutical company and do work like her parents’, except she wanted to be able to decide what projects she would work on for herself. Akemi held off on explaining the facts of the situation for a while, but she did eventually get to that point.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

Ai’s neck-deep in the supernatural shenanigans and fully aware of it.  She went to the mermaid island for research.  She likes hard science better, sure, but that doesn’t mean she’s in denial (unlike certain Holmes nerds). She knows that being able to sense members of a certain organization isn’t normal, and neither is however Kudou scents murderers and attracts murders. And then there’s Toyama-san, who’s on a whole different plane of weird.  Bottom line: she knows.
