What song most embodies your character? Perhaps even sung by them?
This is similar to many Character Theme Songs in other forums. However, Theme Song is mostly an instrumental piece, while Character Image Song usually comes with lyrics. In real life, a particularly popular character can have a special song released for them, sung by their voice actor.
But we don't have to be that specific! This is Shade's Character Image Song:
What : Castles and Dreams by Blackmore's Night, one of my favorite English-speaking musicians! Here's Youtube

Why :
A sad, haunting song. The atmosphere is gloomy and have a post-hope feel to it. There is a hint of betraying oneself, which is perfectly Shade.
Best Part :
Solitaire with a song in her heart
But what a sad song to sing
Turned her back on all that she knew
In the hopes of a golden ring...
That is precisely how Rainina would lament. But really, all of the lyrics gloominess is very fitting.
And the rains came down
And the stars fell from the sky
Oh, how dark the night...
It always seems those Castles and Dreams
Fade with the morning light...
Such a sad story
That time loves to tell
Copper coins shine for the sun
From the floor of the wishing well
I'll stop before I paste the entire lyrics here~
