Shina Gren Ehuir
Shina Gren Ehuir is the Ehuir Empire's second princess, a First Dungeon explorer, and a capable sword-wielding party leader. Her ambition ultimately leads her to side with the Demon Lord against her family and world. (Chapters 20–30 and 109–122)
Biography
Dungeon partnership and betrayal
Shina meets Shin while leading a Dark Ratman raid. She studies the boss, assigns roles around each explorer's abilities, survives its lethal area attack by reading the warning signs, and uses a poisoning sword technique to create the opening for Shin's finishing blow. The two later clear the boss as a pair. Her competence and admiration for strength make her appear a promising ally, though Palludia Gren Ehuir warns Shin that her younger sister's interest in him is tied to his power and the royal clan's idea of a fated partner. (Chapters 20–30, 50, 71, and 105)
When the Luka continent falls into crisis, Shina appears to have been petrified and captured after its Hero's defeat. The rescue party reaches her only to learn that the capture was staged. Shina has willingly contracted with the Demon Lord for the place beside him, offering Shin's Hero power and accepting the destruction of her own family and empire as the price of satisfying her ambition. She uses a demonic sword to stab Shin while he is disguised as Palludia, but his Diehard effect reflects the fatal wound. Once the sword no longer protects her, Shin kills Shina to stop the betrayal and prevent her revival as an undead; Bellode later burns her remains. (Chapters 109–122)
Her death becomes a lasting wound for Palludia, who had hoped to rescue her and then had to confront both Shina's choice and Shin's role in killing her. Later references consistently treat Shina as dead; none establishes resurrection or a surviving remnant. (Chapters 122, 125, and 241)
Appearance and personality
Shina is a young princess and armored swordswoman whose mana is described as matching the color of her eyes. When released from petrification she is still wearing her battle armor and can present an exceptionally beautiful smile. The corpus does not state a reliable hair color, eye color, height, or age for her. (Chapters 20–30 and 120–121)
She is observant, organized, and calm enough to lead mixed parties through dangerous boss mechanics. Those traits coexist with pronounced ambition: she is attracted to strength, frames relationships through what they can obtain for her, and ultimately chooses promised status beside the Demon Lord over loyalty to her sister, parents, and world. Her betrayal is presented as voluntary rather than the result of a removable status effect or confirmed brainwashing. (Chapters 20–21, 71, 105, and 120–122)
Powers and abilities
Shina fights with a longsword and round shield. Her named Hornet Pierce coats the blade in purple poison; against the Dark Ratman, the strike disrupts its movement long enough for Shin to prepare a finishing attack. She also shows useful battlefield perception by escaping the paralysis that precedes Dark Thunder Explosion. Her defenses are those of a capable early-floor explorer, not an invulnerable fighter, and she depends on timing and party coordination. (Chapters 20, 27, and 30)
Her contract with the Demon Lord grants a demonic sword that steals vitality and imposes “shameful obedience” on the victim's party, suppressing their ability to intervene. The weapon also serves as proof of her contract and is intended to rob a world's Hero power. It fails when Shin's Diehard transfers the fatal wound back to her; after he takes the sword away and freezes her limbs, Shina has no demonstrated counter or escape. (Chapters 120–121)
Power progression

| Contract weapon lost; limbs frozen | 120–121 | Diehard reflects her fatal strike, Shin disarms her, and she shows no counter after the borrowed advantage is removed. |
| Death | 121 | Dies without obtaining the Hero power or any later demonic evolution. |
Relationships
- Palludia Gren Ehuir: Palludia is Shina's older sister and initially joins the effort to rescue her. Shina instead intends to kill her and offer Shin to the Demon Lord, leaving Palludia to grieve both familial loss and betrayal. (Chapters 71, 105, and 109–125)
- Kang Shin: Shina admires Shin's strength and performs effectively beside him in the dungeon. She later offers that same strength to the Demon Lord, attacks Shin while mistaking him for Palludia, and is killed when he turns her weapon's effect back on her. (Chapters 20–30, 105, and 113–122)
- Demon Lord: Shina calls the Demon Lord her fated partner and accepts a place beside him in exchange for delivering Shin's power. The pact gives her a dangerous weapon but does not save her once its effect is reversed. (Chapters 120–122)
- Bellode Iraus: Bellode helps organize Shina's rescue and remains loyal to the Ehuir family. After learning of her betrayal and death, he mourns her and burns her remains at Palludia's permission. (Chapters 113–122)
Items
- Longsword and round shield: Shina's regular dungeon equipment. The sword channels her poison technique, while the shield supports her role as a mobile melee fighter. (Chapters 27–30)
- Demonic sword: A contract weapon granted by the Demon Lord that drains vitality, suppresses a target's party, and is intended to steal Hero power. Shin takes it after its effect rebounds onto Shina. (Chapters 120–121)
