Shiori Sakurada (櫻田 栞, Sakurada Shiori) is the ninth and youngest child and the sixth daughter of the royal Sakurada family. As the youngest one, Shiori does not have a real desire to become king in the upcoming election for the nine Sakurada siblings to become the successor of their father, so she, therefore, helps her older brother Teru, who is the closest to her age and whom she worries about a lot, instead. She is one of the main characters of the Castle Town Dandelion series. Shiori's power is called Soulmate (ソウルメイト , Sourumeito, "Object Conversation"), which allows her to communicate with animals and even inanimate objects.
