Shun:
Social Exclusion

One character, several visual clues: her dual form, her villain emblem, and the Barrier Breaker Hero Badge carried by the people and organizations who push back against exclusion and gatekeeping.

Beware Her Icy Stare

Shun — Exclusion

Not all barriers are visible. Shun grows stronger wherever people are shut out of safety, opportunity, resources, or voice.

Visual Hints

Villain Emblem v.s. Hero Badge

In WAOW, the villain emblems represent each character's destructive influence. Their nemesis badges represent brave historymakers: students, teachers, policy makers, advocates, engineers, doctors, volunteers, and frontline NGOs working against famine and tyranny.
