A '''shrine maiden''' (also known as a '''miko''') is a person devoted to the faith in the [[Cardinal Gods]]. They take care of [[Room|shrines]] and protect their altars. Shrine maidens are technically members of the Maze Personnel and as such, work technically for the [[Game Master|Game Masters]], but they are known to have a true neutral stance.

Shrine maidens, as per religious tradition, are '''always female''' and '''virgins'''. The typical occupations of a shrine maiden involve distributing ''omikuji'' (japanese fortune), chasing away wicked youkai (exorcism), making offerings to the Gods, and receiving (rare) donations.

They have no particular relationships to other members of Maze Personnel, are friends of youkai and scare away wicked youkai. With other creatures, shrine maidens are mostly left in peace - only the mindless or the least intelligent creatures would become technically hostile to shrine maidens. Even then, it is quite rare.

Because the job of shrine maiden is exclusively devoted to faith, they are not paid by the [[Game Masters]] and must rely on donations to survive. Non-wicked youkai are the most frequent donators to shrine maidens in the Mazes.

=== Blessings ===
Shrine maidens have a small service available. They request donations for self-subsistence, and give a '''blessing''' to those who donate. A blessed contestant enjoys '''[[Secondary effect|increased accuracy]] for 10 turns'''.<br />
The amount donated is not important - all amounts result in a blessing, although the more money donated, the more impressive, which may influence the relationship with the contestant.

=== Disguise ===
This lists only the required clothing the [[contestant]] needs for the disguise to be successful. Note that wearing a HEV Suit or an EOD Suit cancels immediately the disguise as these suits cover the entirety of the wearer's clothes and are, as such, unsuitable for disguising.
