Subject: Marriage Opportunities: Shiryu

	This one is by request....

ATHENA BRONZE SAINT DRAGON SHIRYU ("Draco" in Latin, also with no
known family name.)

	Looks:  Judging by the women I've discussed this with, very nice.
Long black hair, nice eyes (when they're open), good physique.
	Smarts:  Average.  Not stupid, but lets his interpretation of his code
of honor get in the way of the most logical actions sometimes.
	Personality:  More mature than the other Saints, highly honorable
(sometimes to the point of stupidity), self-sacrificing.  Not as
pacifistic as Shun, but with a reluctance to hurt people
unnecessarily.
	Cooking:  Unknown, but it seems likely that the girl (I forget her
name) did most of it.
	Fighting Skills:  Excellent.  Best of the Bronze Boys at actual
martial arts.  His honor prevents him from taking advantage of certain
situations though, or he'd win more often.
	Special  Abilities:  By himself, the Dragon Tear, Excalibur Strike and
a few other special attacks.  The Dragon Cloth comes with a (nigh)
unbreakable shield, and Shiryu can sometimes access the Libra Cloth.
	Competition:  The Chinese girl whose name I forget.  He's got a pretty
strong bond to her, given his long years training with Roshi (her
grandfather? uncle?).
	In-Laws:  None known.
	Economics:  Employed as a bodyguard by a multi-billionaire.
Otherwise, might be able to exploit his fighting skills in
competition.  (The other Saints are less suitable to this as I think
they'd be likely to use their special powers.)
	Sex:  Normal.  Would never force himself on a woman.

	Overall:  Not a bad catch, though a woman could get really tired of
his eyes being closed all the time.  ("Yes, dear, your dress looks
fine.  I can sense it with my cosmo.")
