Friends
Shirako's a fairly friendly person. Though she's wary of individuals that seem too nice or too odd due to her side-occupation, she's got a list of acquaintances and friends that's pretty respectable. Even in the present, she's added a few people to the list every now and then. Pre-existing friends are more than fine. Given her attitude in high school, I could see a number of friends from school, perhaps from the clubs she frequented- but never joined. Underclassmen, classmates, you name it, it can probably work. Acquaintances from work are also possible- perhaps cooperative rival firms, or even groups that perform junction-based jobs fairly often, or other teachers/staff at Gekkoukan. Wouldn't be entirely unreasonable to think that a student or two has struck her positively, either. Shirako also drinks a bit. While not necessarily one to hit bars a lot, having a drinking buddy or two would be nice.
Allies in SEES fall somewhere between “friends” and “pesky students/charges”, by default, usually.
Enemies
Shirako could not care less about what a majority of people think about her. The only opinions that matter are those of her loved ones and friends. That said, anybody slandering her, from high school or whatever, would likely have simply ranked lower on her attention than anything. About the only way to become a legitimate enemy to her is through threatening or acting in violence against her, her friends, or her family. She's a loyal and vicious fighter, more than capable of pushing herself to the edge of death if it means protecting those dear to her.
I can see pre-existing, one-sided hate-ships, maybe. Given her mentality, most real enemies would either be new or dead. Open to discussion and ideas.
Family
Shirako lives with her mother, her twin sister, and her older brother. For details on this, please view in the requests segment!
Romance?!
Shirako is bisexual, so she's definitely open to either gender. That said, if she does get into a relationship, she'd faithfully pursue it without daring to bat a lash at options on either side. I'm open to people crushing on her from school, or maybe friends that gradually grew to like her like that over the years. She's currently recovering from her feelings for her twin, but that doesn't strike her out of the game- it just means she'd be slower to try opening up to another.

Requests
There are two characters I would very much love to have taken for to be near Shirako! These are her siblings. Let's start with a bit of conceptual history, shall we?
If you notice, the Tachibana kids lack a father in this setting. This was not always so. On the day that he died, in most other settings, he used the older brother's naïvety and hormones against him, convincing him to rape Shirako, while the father had fun with the twin. In those universes, this leads to the twin dying, Shirako being briefly hospitalized, turning completely homosexual, and becoming a man-hater for several years (depending on the exact universe). That turn-out is avoided here, and the alternative is drastically different. Below, I'll cover the information for the siblings, along with my thoughts and some ideas those interested can work with.
While I'm open to anybody trying to fill these roles, I would appreciate one major thing. I'd like to see a sample of your playing style. It may sound mean or elitist, but the siblings are characters that I'd like to thread with frequently, and if the player's style is something that drives me away, it'd just be bad for the both of us. I encourage creativity with these roles, and there's only a few things I'm going to ask to be included for certain. With that said, if you're still interested, I hope you decide you'll take one of them.
Twin
For the sake of my ease, I'll refer to Shirako's twin simply as Twin for now. Twin is identical to Shirako in terms of appearances, age, and whatnot, though she is the younger twin. She attended the same school, and, every year, was in the same class as her. Where Shirako was outgoing and energetic, Twin was quiet, shy, and studious. Together, they were fairly popular. Shirako was somewhat skilled with just about anything she tried to do- being a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. In retrospect, Twin was a little clumsy, but exceedingly smart. While Shirako never joined clubs officially, Twin joined the cooking club to attempt to learn how to do so, seeing as how Shirako took care of the cooking- mother worked late nights at that time, you see.
After graduation, Twin went on to high education- whatever she went to study is up to you. She's completed college, in this setting, but whether or not she's formally employed is another matter altogether. This is up to the player. Where Shirako took up kendo, Twin took up hand-to-hand self-defense. What style, to what degree, and whether she knows more than one is entirely up to you. I would love it if she were a Persona-user as well. In regards to that, I just ask that she has some recovery-based spells- I want her as the support/healer of the Tachibana-trio.
In regards to personality, I'm going to try to leave this as free as possible, but there are a few things I do need to ask for.
Twin has no negative feelings towards either of her siblings. She's a fairly sweet young lady, lacking the same drive towards vengeance that either Shirako or the brother can put forth. Perhaps inseparable from Shirako in high school, if the maker prefers. She's a klutz, but always means well. Contrasting to her physical clumsiness, however, is her sharp mind and analytical capabilities. I'm not asking for her to be something like my Tsukikoplease don't go there. At all. but she's capable of picking up on emotions and seeing through somebody fairly easily.
Twin was the current object of Shirako's affections. While her current relationship status is entirely up to the player, she has had a brief to mid-term platonic/romantic (not sexual) relationship with someone before. This was what made Shirako force her eyes off of Twin. Twin may or may not have been aware of Shirako's feelings; all I ask is that, if she was, that she at least didn't think negatively towards her.
Aniki
The older brother, I'll refer to as Aniki, for my ease~ Aniki is older than the twins by two or three years- up to the player to decide if they want him to be twenty-seven or eight. At that pivotal date in the siblings' lives, the father came up to him and shared some words with him. He was naïve, but, even then, he had a strong sense of justice. His father said “focus on Shira”, which was intended to be interpreted in a very different manner, but the old man was cut off long before his full message was delivered. From that point on, while he did fulfill his role as an older brother to both of the twins, he always kept his eyes on Shirako- not sure why his father, who he trusted entirely, said to focus on her. Perhaps it was the wisdom of age, knowing that something would befall her rather than the twin?
His school life was, for the most part, normal. Perhaps he was popular, too? That's up to the player. After graduation, Aniki came to another pivotal point in his life. How it played out is up to the player. Essentially with his sense of justice, Aniki was going to join the police force- or perhaps he did- but something occurred, either with his friends, or with the system itself, that opened his eyes to the fact that the judicial and law systems may not have always been correct or right. Driven by justice rather than paperwork or laws made by man, he decided to become a private investigator.
At least, he did for a time. Then a nasty job (details could be discussed) came along, and he and Shirako were forced to close the detective agency. Without another alternative, he was forced to go right back to the force.
Aniki uses a gun for a weapon. I'd also love it if he, too, were a Persona-user. Where the twin is more support, he'd be well-rounded, offering a mixture of physical and elemental attacks- or just all-out magic build.
Emotionally, Aniki is fairly strong. He's got a sense of justice that he doesn't apply written laws to. He's not extreme, actually fairly forgiving. He's sympathetic and loves his fellow man, though he hates what they've come to. He strives for a better world- just in general, and for Shirako specifically. Naturally, given his protective stance towards her, he was a bit bothered when she opted to become his assistant, but he learned to trust her abilities, grudgingly viewing her as capable enough to perform in the same role. Though he hates having her in a position that could be dangerous, he also trusts no one to fill that role more than her.
But, there's also a catch. Where Aniki still watches over Shirako, he's had an inner battle going for several years. His child-like devotion towards watching over his sister, mixed in with hormones at his teen-aged years, along with his maturation as a man, has prodded him to the point that he's confused about himself, honestly troubled with uncertainty. He's not certain if his love for Shirako is a pure, as it should be, as an older brother, or if it's the love a man has for a woman. He's also not sure if it's neither of those, but the even baser leanings of lust. He's innocent in that he's never been with another, being too focused on Shirako. That's part of the reason he's so confused- he has no experience, and there's no one he could properly confide in, given his situation.
For face-claims, I would absolutely love the maker so very much if they used Tokisaka Reiji from Kara no Shoujo. However, given that there's very little art of him (that I'm aware of!), and also very little of him in the CG of that VN, I would not be bothered if the maker decided to opt away from using him. I can fully understand. I don't have a secondary preference, but I'm open to most- just run it by me beforehand, please?
So, yeah. Their family is a little messed up. But, hey, all's fair in love and war.

If you notice some strange discrepancies/slight logic gaps, that's likely because this is a rip and quick-edit of another form of Shirako's plot sheet. Will maybe clean it up later.
And I had to redo my colors because of the skin. -huffs-
