"They knew they were wrong."
—Shimasani, talking about her ancestors

Shimasani is a supporting character in Beyond: Two Souls, she was also the mother of Paul, and the paternal grandmother of Jay and Cory.

Character Information

Shimasani was born on May 28, 1919, a year after the end of World War I.

At some point in her life, Shimasani married her future husband, and nine months later, she gave birth to their first and only son, Paul, born on June 30, 1958.

At some point, her husband died.

Shimasani is an elderly woman, who lives with her son and grandsons on a remote ranch in Navajo.



Shimasani is a descendant of the Dineh people attacked by U.S. military forces. Her ancestors resorted to summoning a terrible entity, Yé'iitsoh, to gain vengeance and defend themselves. Yé'iitsoh was not satisfied with just killing the soldiers, and turned on its summoners.

When Jodie presents Shimasani with four of the five talismans worn by the summoners, Shimasani stirs and reveals that she recalls the incantation used for the original ceremony as it was passed down through her ancestors to her. Jodie uses Aiden to view the original ceremony and together, they work to return Yé'iitsoh to the Infraworld.

Regardless of the outcome of the ritual, Shimasani dies, and is buried in the sacred grounds of the Navajo. Her son, Paul, will be buried alongside her if he is not saved by Jodie.
