Shiori Baba

Shiori Baba  (馬場詩織, Baba Shiori) is the current lead singer for Iron Frill, succeeding Ai Mizuno after her death. She serves as a minor antagonist of the Zombie Land Saga series.

Casual
Shiori has reddish-brown hair that is tied in a relatively long ponytail and grayish-pink eyes. When she goes out in public, she wears casual clothes, a cap, and sunglasses to avoid being recognized on the street.

Idol
Shiori's idol outfit during the first season was pretty simple. In the Saga Arena, she wears a dress that resembles a queen, since Iron Frill is considered to be the queens of Tokyo.

Personality
Shiori displays a reckless personality, not afraid to say what comes to her mind and quite cocky when proposing or rejecting offers. Although she seems somewhat conceited by her attitude, actually from her perspective she wants to help Ai Mizuno get out of the old-fashioned prefecture of Saga and manage to become a great idol with Iron Frill. But the way she expresses her offer is quite selfish by belittling Franchouchou and telling them that they are nothing compared to her group. Despite this, she shows to have admiration for Ai and wants to overcome what she did to her in her life without having to go through the same fate as her.

Later, it is shown that her attitude towards Ai is because she admired her since she was a little girl and dreamed of being like Ai. This is highlighted by Yui, who tells her to leave the past behind and focus on what is coming.
