o the left is the first shadow girl we encountered. we have named her 'a-ko'. she wears a bow that seperates her curly bangs from the rest of her hair that curls low on her head. she is a forward personality and starts conversations first. her usual phrase is "i wonder, i wonder...do you know what i wonder?". to our surprise, shadow girl 'a-ko' formed a relationship with others of her kind, showing that this is not an individual-orientated species. we were quite happy with this development and await further interaction. this species does not seem to be viscous towards its own. further testing and viewing will disclaim or make true this hypothesis. shadow girl 'a-ko' is rated as a level 2.

e have named this one 'b-ko'. as you can see, she has four circular shapes along either side of her head. they go in an upward and away direction. we can only assume that these are 'hair'. however we can not be sure. they could be a form of antanae. this subject is something we have to further investigate once shadow girl 'b-ko' has been found. she is known to say "i hear there's..." and "i wonder, i wonder...do you know what i wonder?" along with shadow girl 'a-ko' at the end of each conversation. 'b-ko' has formed a relationship with shadow girl 'a-ko', and the two are always seen together. we have figured that they play off of each others personalities. together, they provide a great challenge. this shadow girl is, for now, to be treated as a possible level 2.

hadow girl 'c-ko' is the third shadow girl we discovered. as you can see, she, like 'a-ko', wears an accessory of some sort in her hair. this is a head band that, we assume, holds back hair that is pulled into a high ponytail. based on our studies we have concluded that 'c-ko' is a messenger of some sort and may act as a news bringer. her phrase that she uses most often is, "extra! extra! extra!". we are certain that she is not the last shadow girl. it has been reported that there are at least two more. these two could lead us to the mother load! we are absolutely positive that there is a place out there where shadow girls are innumerous. 'c-ko' is of level 3 origin. tread lightly.


ne of our newest discoveries is shadow girl 'e-ko'. like 'a-ko' and 'b-ko', she works as part of a pair with one other shadow girl. this pair seems to be in the communications media. 'e-ko' is a 'dj' for the kage network. it seems that she is also a reporter for this network. the stories that she has scooped while on the air have been based around scandalous objects and happenings. a target of hers was akio, and another was a high-speed race. her profile is more apparent than that of the other shadow girls. you can clearly see the detail of her dress and head piece. her hair is swept up into a high bun with a long triangle shaped bow, almost like a propeller. she has thick strait bangs and two side strands of hair. she is definitely a level 2 with partial leanings towards a level 1.

he other part of the above pair is a shadow girl we have named 'f-ko'. she is also in communications. we can surmise that she gathers the raw footage for her partner's scandalous findings. 'f-ko' has hair that is seperated into two parts, both of which are twirled up into snail shell-like buns. between these parts are three lightning bolts that could be a symbol representing her status as a radio star. to the side and front of her hairline is thick off-centered bangs that curl inward. she also wears head phones with a microphone. she has been brought up to a level 2 status.
