Trivia

 * Shyren's name is a portmanteau of shy and siren.
 * Naming the Fallen Child "Shyren" during the name selection will prompt the response "...?".
 * Shyren is only the small fish atop the apparent body, which in turn is her talent agent.
 * If Shyren is hummed to 5 times, Knight Knight can be put to sleep one turn earlier than normal, mentioning that "You sing Shyren's song".
 * Shyren will sometimes utter the phrase "Si-Re Si-Re, Si-Mi Si-Mi" during battle, which may be a reference to "Si-Re Si-Mi" by Franco Godi.
 * Shyren is always encountered, even if the kill counter in the area is depleted.
 * Shyren is one of the monster species making up the Amalgamate Lemon Bread; specifically, Lemon Bread is spared by humming, an ACT adopted specifically from Shyren, and Lemon Bread appears to have Shyren's agent as her main body, giving her a similar overall figure to Shyren's.
