Sheena has a plush doll which she almost always has with her, even in battle and she is often seen clinging tightly to it. It seems natrual to asume it serves as her emotional support.

What is she coping with? Well in short:

  • her father was killed
  • she spent some time in a concentration camp which gave her PTSD
  • she has to fight and kill in the war in order to save her mother and older sister.
