Shura is a bonus character in Soulcalibur IV designed by guest artist Hiroya Oku.
Her weapons, named Raijin-Maru & Fujin-Maru, are twin Katanas. She also has two wakizashi swords though she does not use them. Like all of the bonus characters, Shura's moveset is recycled from one of the main character's; she uses the same moveset as Cervantes. What lies within her soul is Hate.

[edit] Biography
The woman was simply a killer, one who had never tasted satisfaction. She eventually began to destroy evil spirits to keep things challenging. She slayed many of them until one day she became possessed by one. But even then, she did not stop killing. She continued her aggressive way of life, until the world was calling her "Shura", meaning "Bloodshed".
The spirit that had possessed her was in search of a powerful body so that it could return from the dead. As for the woman, she simply wanted someone worth killing. Together, they transformed from two strong warriors to a single, even stronger warrior.
The spirit still searches for a perfect body, with the woman still looking for someone strong enough to satisfy her.
[edit] Soulcalibur IV ending
Shura defeats Algol, though her and the spirit are disappointed at how weak he is. After destroying Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, they realize that they are surrounded by monsters that were summoned by Soul Edge. They both become excited about the opportunity of finding someone stronger.
The text-only epilogue states this: She left footprints in numerous cities, but none know her end.

[edit] Quotes
Soul Calibur IV
You look like a feisty one.
That didn't satisfy me at all.
It's time to play.
Here I come.
Ah...you're done already.
I'll teach you a thing or two.
Your moves didn't satisfy me.
Okay, let's get started.
Where did all your energy go?
What an odd person.
Come back anytime.
Pathetic!
Aww...you're is so cute.
Go!
[edit] Trivia
- Even though she does not carry a firearm, she can still perform many of Cervantes "shooting" moves. When she fires her "gun" she says, "Summon, Spirit!", probably referring to the demon possessing her. This gives the feeble explanation that her "gunshot" is a supernatural move involving her demon.
- In Shura's Story Mode, after she defeats Voldo and a few shadows, one of the shadows follow her because it's being drawn to some sort of great power.
- Shura can be unlocked with her "template"; she is encountered in Cervantes' Story Mode. This trait is shared with Ashlotte, who can be unlocked using Astaroth.
