- It was a normal day (or at least as normal as it can be in the Pantheon) when a particular Assassin-Tracker had complained about being cheated out of a position (that she wasn't particularly fond of, but details). After a long back and forth between the Judges and herself, one of them was about to say something that would've been particularly stinging to the Assassin-Tracker, when she kneed them. After a bit of looking into the animated adaptation of her story, they decided to ascend her as the representative of Preemptive Shut Ups, and not just because the other gods didn't want to be kneed in the face.
- Of course, the moment her ascension was confirmed she ran off to find out where her lord (Shiroe) was. He was both happy, yet extremely embarrassed when she showed up in front of him and re-instated her vow to be his ninja. It is currently unknown whether he actually vouched for her ascension or not, though there have been rumors of them wanting to find positions for the rest of Log Horizon...
- Has met up with Shiroe's allies, although somewhat jealous of some of his female allies (but not without pity towards Haruka Kotoura for what she went through pre-ascension), and she gets along with most of them. She's actually pretty amazed with Shiroe's pupil, Han Jee-Han for quite literally living in an MMO in his daily life.
- Much like Shiroe, she definitely appreciates Haruka's cooking for the same reason as the former.
- Of course, she was made aware of Nobyuki Sugou through Kirito and Asuna. And needless to say, she was not amused with his Attempted Rape towards Asuna. She swore to not knee anyone who tries to say something perverted as hard as she normally does for two whole weeks because of how disgusting she views Sugou. Some of the gods just hope Sugou isn't aware of her due to how young she looks.
- Speaking of which, she does not like perverts. She is known to somehow knee anyone who tries to say something perverted in her presence, and knees them before they can finish. Thankfully, the "Curse of Akatsuki" hasn't set in to punish all open perverts, though it is a worrying possibility.
- She can't knee perverts who keep their dirty thoughts in their head. She doesn't bother dealing with them since she doesn't want to see what goes on in their minds anyways.
- Once had overheard Howard and Kreese commentating and needless to say, she didn't like their extremely crude style of commentating. They nearly were about to say something perverse, and she somehow tracked where they were and kneed them. A session of interrupting the two talkative announcers before they could say anything perverted ensued. The two tend to share the sentiment of disgust with her, mostly due to her tendency to interrupt, as mentioned.
- Has gained Friendly Rivals in the form of the Highly Visible Ninjas of the Pantheon, the main one being Naruto Uzumaki due to both being able to create dopples of themselves for combat or volleyball matches.
- Due to her Tracker abilities, she's also gained a friendly rival in Gondar, the two have challenged each other to matches where they see who can get the target the fastest through their tracking skills.
- On the OTHER hand, she's not a huge fan of the villainous group of ninjas called Akatsuki, not only given their actions, but also because they happen to share her user handle.
- Due to her Tracker abilities, she's also gained a friendly rival in Gondar, the two have challenged each other to matches where they see who can get the target the fastest through their tracking skills.
- Given her experiences with Henrietta back in Elder Tale, she tends to avoid the Goddess of Cuteness Reactions, Rena Ryuguu. Knowing of the "Other Side" hasn't helped her opinion.
- She would however, prefer to be taken home than be around Junko Enoshima. Given her own Height Angst that could be exploited by the Ultimate Despair, she's not taking any chances with her OR her successor. Also because her successor shares the same last name as her lord.
- Doesn't like how Kyubey sounds like her when speaking Japanese, especially considering what it does. The weasel doesn't share the sentiment. It just finds her too reactive.
- Has also seen Sebastian Michaelis around sometimes, and while she's impressed with his dedication with his master Ciel Phantomhive, she can't help but to just be utterly unnerved by his presence, and thus tends to avoid him. On Sebastian's end, she sounds awfully familiar to another one of Ciel's servants...
- Has found common ground with other deities who have similar experiences or duties.
- She understands Emilia's difficulties with being able to bring oneself to hate someone due to understanding that there is good in the person you want to dislike. Emilia does in fact return the sentiment, even if the scenarios for not being able to hate a person are different.
- She and Peko Pekoyama have been exchanging bodyguarding tips with each other to better themselves at their duties, as well as talking about their crushes on Shiroe and Fuyuhiko respectively.
- Admires the fact that Lucina was able to masquerade her voice as a male's much better than she could ever do, even if she doesn't particularly like how Lucina was pretending to be a historical figure. In return, Lucina has offered Akatsuki help with swordplay.
- Unsurprisingly, she gets along well with LLENN, despite her initial confusion on how someone would enjoy being short, mostly because of their height issues, albeit on different ends. After hearing of the rolling for avatar thing Karen had to go through, Akatsuki has begun trying to petition Avatar Customization for the VR MMOS in the mortal realm. Time will tell if this will work out.
- Despite initially being confused on the whole "Weapon as a Human" thing, she gets along with the Destroyer girl with the general disdain of being treated like a child. Of course the difference being that the Ninja-Girl Akatsuki straight up isn't a child.

- No one is quite sure just how the heck Shiroe ascended to the Pantheon—let alone as a Greater God. When asked, he produces a 20,000-page document with numerous fine-prints which "clearly explains" that a majority of the members of the Pantheon recommended him for the position. Those whose signatures appear on the contract confirm that it's real, but have no memory of signing it.
- At some point, the higher-ups in the Pantheon found that Shiroe, wasn't exactly the best representation for his current trope due to his limitations. Shiroe, being who he is, planned a way to work around his current predicament by compromising with the higher-ups: Losing his current hold over Magically Binding Contracts, but instead gaining hold of a different trope, one that he knew would fit him more. After the higher-ups took another look at his exploits, they couldn't agree more.
- Despite not getting along with Kamina at first (Aside from respecting him), the two have proved to be an unlikely, yet near perfect pair: Shiroe's preference to stay back for planning and logistics and Kamina keeping people's spirits high is an unstoppable combination.
- The main reason for Shiroe starting to get along with Kamina is due to the latter's deeper motivations and insecurities, which led to the two forming the partnership in the first place.
- Shiroe doesn't get along that great with Ichigo Kurosaki, largely because Ichigo keeps rushing forward and ruining Shiroe's well thought-out plans. Lately, they've reached a mutual agreement, which Shiroe describes as "Letting that idiot do whatever he wants." Uryu enjoyed that one.
- Same case with Beat, although Shiroe DOES respect Beat for his determination and protectiveness of his sister. Unlike Ichigo though, there is something that both Shiroe and Beat can agree on, that curry is one of the best foods.
- Same case with Beat, although Shiroe DOES respect Beat for his determination and protectiveness of his sister. Unlike Ichigo though, there is something that both Shiroe and Beat can agree on, that curry is one of the best foods.
- Gets along well with Haruka as a fellow Hero with Bad Publicity. Aside from the obvious strategy reasons, Shiroe also enjoys Haruka's cooking, mainly because it still retains it's taste in Elder Tale.
- Due to the fact that Shiroe was a normal person who became unable to leave Elder Tale, Shiroe gets along well with Kazuto Kirigaya, Asuna Yuuki and the previously-ascended Keiko Ayano, despite the state of their followers.
- Unsurprisingly, Shiroe did not like Noboyuki Suguo after hearing about the monstrosities the latter has done, such as trapping people in Alfheim for his brainwashing research and his attempted rape of Asuna. It wound up getting to a point where Shiroe angrily rushed into Noboyuki's temple and nearly killed him. Thankfully, Akatsuki was able to get confront Shiroe and drag him outside of Noboyuki's temple and talk some sense into him, reminding him that Noboyuki has been punished enough within the Pantheon. Shiroe has warned Noboyuki however that if he pulls the stuff he pulled in the mortal realm again, he will have a MUCH harsher punishment, which Noboyuki reacted appropriately.
- Has, shaky relationships with the Abridged versions of Asuna and Kirito. While initially interested about the alternate timeline the two live in, after interacting with the duo, he finds them both to be painful to be around. Him helping Akatsuki with her avatar situation and Abridged Asuna's self-consciousness about being left to her own devices hasn't helped matters.
- Has gained major allies in the good members in the House of Knowledge and the Sub-House of Tactics and Strategies, mainly Annabeth Chase and Yuuno Scrya. Unsurprisingly, he tends to be in the two houses often whenever strategy formulating is required.
- Because they both look at everything logically, as well as being able to analyze the situation to determine the best course of action, he and Spock have become close allies. Also they are both Half-Human hybrids (Sort of with Shiroe).
- Having had an apprentice studying under him while he was mortal, Shiroe can't stand Master Li, as the latter's protectiveness of his apprentices ends when they've outlived their usefulness.
- Does NOT like the Incubators for their causing of a cycle constant despair and suffering due to their contracts, especially given how nonchalant they are about it. The fact that some conspiracy theorist thought he was a reverse Incubator has not helped matters.
- After hearing about Sachiko's plight regarding her magic, Shiroe has been hard at work writing new contracts for to lessen the misfortune bestowed upon others.
- Was quite happy that Akatsuki had made her way to the Pantheon, albeit embarrassed that she reinstated her pledge to be his ninja in front of more people than just the two and Naotsugu. Whether he intends to try ascending the rest of the members of Log Horizon or not thanks to Akatsuki has yet to be determined.
- Is trying to figure out the mechanical kinks behind the increased brokenness of Hit's Time Skip when combined with online lag, hoping to discover how this could be exploited before anyone else does.
- Showcases a similar interest in Vanellope, thanks to her being a sentient glitch and her current home being an MMO. Unlike Hit though, it's currently just interest rather than wanting to exploit her powers. Mostly because he doesn't want to be on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle against Wreck-It Ralph.
- Has often been compared to Ainz- for decent reasons. Both happen to be ordinary people who got trapped in their favorite MMOs (Elder Tale and Yggdrasil respectively) and resolved to learn to live in the new world, developing in the process. Both also happen to be Mage classes. However, while Shiroe simply grew as a person, even getting over his fear of joining guilds by founding Log Horizon, and simply being more Chaotic Neutral if necessary at the cost of his public image. Ainz, essentially lost any form of human emotion and only became straight up evil due to his guild. Also Shiroe is more support focused while Ainz has more firepower in terms of magic.
- Once got asked by Naofumi about the former's Overskill. Shiroe later asked Naofumi back after learning of how the latter mainly fought with only a shield and using defense and support skills, finding it similar to how Naotsugu fights. Needless to say, the two have become close acquaintances.
- Due to encountering enemies that can't be affected by contracts, more notably XANA and GIFfanny, he's become allies with the Lyoko Warriors and the GUAG White Hat Hackers to help combat digital threats.
- Despite his alliance with the White Hats, and general support towards the Grand United Alliance of Good, he doesn't have much interest in joining said alliance. This is mainly due to them being locked in a Forever War with the other Alliances. Of course, he opposes the other alliances as well, due to the corruption in them. Time will tell if he'll change his mind about joining the GUAG.
