Shii
C (しぃ, Shii), often translated as Shii, is an AA character that debut after the creation of 2channel's /mona/ board in June 2000. She was once considered to be apart of the big four, but has become forgotten over time. In short, she was Giko's lover and lives inside a box.

Back then, AA threads were housed on /kitchen/ while Kaomojis had their own /kao/ board. This changed on June 8, 2000 when the /mona/ board was established. Within a few days, a person named “C”, who later became “Cちゃん” (C-chan) before settling on “しー” (Shii), would appear in the Giko threads and later made her own character.1)2)3) They later adopted a tripcode (◆CgikokqI) and received a capcode (しー★).
Genocide Boom

Within the next month, her character would be tortured4) and a “Genocide Boom” (虐殺ブーム, Gyakusatsu Būmu) sparked on the AA boards from 2002 to 2004, partially as a way to troll people who get invested in these things. The spam would eventually be curbed by mid-2005 and moved to a Shitaraba board, called the Abnormal Neta Specialty Mona Board or “Abu Board” (アブ板).

Derivatives
Tsuu
Tsuu (つー) is a Shii variant with Ahya's face, debuting on June 6, 2001 in a fake Shii thread.5) The name is obviously a joke about how “shi” (シ) and “tsu” (ツ) looks similar in katakana. In contrast, Tsuu is more active, unpredictable, bratty, and violent, often wielding a knife as a weapon. By the way, Tsuu does not have an explicit gender, but will often be depicted as a flat-chested female tsundere.

Notes
- While there are other Shii variants that use the other alphabet letters, I probably won't document them all here because it just seems like a huge waste of time.
- There have been jokes about Shii being communist since Kazuo Shii had been the chairman of the Japanese Communist Party from 2000 to 2024, but they're not as common.
