Kim Shine

Kim Shine is a main character in Masked Rider: Swordblazers. A woman that fashions herself a vigilante, she becomes known to the world upon becoming the Blade Rider to subdue the seemingly-greedy Shield Rider.

Personality
Having grown up with neglectful parents, Kim found solace in a kind uncle and comic books. She became interested in comics and the marvelous stories of independence and self-dispense justice that often accompanied them. Having known martial arts from an early age, Kim is extraordinarily dependent and can be resourceful when she wants to be. However she isn't above manipulating others despite her good intentions, nor is she the best team player; often thinking her strategies flawless and preferring to charge in by herself. Her single-mindedness prevents her from taking others seriously at times, not making her too many friends. However, she does display hints of kindness, particularly toward Max, whose health she fears for.

Whilst initially rivals with Pablo, she enters into a close friendship with him once the two reconcile.

Personas
The Masked Riders of the International Protectorate Army utilize what they refer to as The Persona System. The system allows the Riders to enter different combat styles at will by tapping open the Break-Locks carried on their person. Different Personas have different strengths and weaknesses; with results dependent on the Rider accessing them.
