Shori’s amnesia helps her cope with the fact that she lost most of her immediate family in the carnage as well as losing her “symbionts,” or human lovers that vampires need to keep with them in order to feed upon their blood.

Shori not only appears to be a prepubescent child, but she is also, quite anomalously, black. The venom just makes it impossible to leave her.
