Background

The details of their prior relationship remain undisclosed. 167

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shirou's Introduction to Penguin Logistics

Texas is among the first Penguin Logistics members to encounter Shirou after his fall into Longmen. She questions him about his unfamiliarity with Terra and Originium, then accompanies Exusiai in helping him buy necessities and learn the city. 3 4 6 7

When the Emperor considers placing Shirou on her team's operations, Texas reveals that she has effectively already judged him suitable. She formally welcomes him as additional ranged support after emphasizing the need for trust. 26 27

Ice-blasting Originium Crawler Defense

During the defense of a village, Texas directs Penguin Logistics against a swarm of controlled Ice-blasting Originium Crawlers. She coordinates Shirou's long-range fire, identifies the enemy Sorcerer through binoculars, and orders Shirou to eliminate the controller when his barrage begins to exhaust him. 53 54

Sword Training with Shirou

Curious about Shirou's close-combat ability, Texas challenges him to a training-knife spar. Shirou disarms her by misleading her into expecting a two-handed style before switching to one hand. 67

She later spars with Shirou using her dual light swords against his projected Gan Jiang Mo Ye. Though Shirou dominates the match, Texas continues training with him and improves her own swordsmanship. 68 90

Knights of the Round Table Internship

Texas is protective when Shirou is temporarily assigned to the Knights of the Round Table. She and the other Penguin Logistics members accompany him to his internship, making clear that he belongs with Penguin Logistics. 136 140

While visiting the Knights' sniper range, she spots a possible observer hidden in the ventilation ducts. 154

Lappland's Return

When Shirou notices an unusual smell on Texas's uniform, she reveals that it belongs to Lappland. Learning that Shirou encountered Lappland in the slums prompts Texas to reflect on her past and decide to face it. 167

Sora Concert Incident

During Sora's concert, Texas prevents Exusiai from entering the crowd because Exusiai's halo would draw attention. Texas instead investigates the suspicious Vayf herself, mistakenly confronting Shirou in disguise before recognizing him. 180 181
