Shiva (Final Fantasy XV)

Shiva, also known as the Glacian, is an astral who appears in Final Fantasy XV. She is one of the Six and she is the astral that most resembles a human. Shiva usually walks the earth under the guise of Gentiana. She is the most friendly of the six. Prince Noctis forges a pact with Shiva in Chapter 12.

Profile
Like the other astrals, Shiva is based on a recurring summon in the Final Fantasy series. Shiva is a messenger of the gods to mortals. The reverse of the Oracle.

Shiva is an Astral who is fond of humanity and acts as a foil to Ifrit. In M.E. 745, she awoke in the form of an ice giantess in the desert plains surrounding Gralea, the capital of Niflheim. Shiva led an assault on the empire, but she was felled by its magitek infantry. The result of this was an environmental anomaly; the desert transformed into a vast tundra trapped in a perpetual snowstorm that calms at its edge. The corpse of Shiva's first incarnation remains outside Gralea, where it can be seen from aboard the trains that pass the imperial capital by.

Obtained
Noctis obtains Shiva at the end of Chapter 12.

Battle
When summoned, Shiva freezes the surrounding landscape. She appears alongside several copies of herself and uses her signature attack, Diamond Dust.
