A character introduced in Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's, voiced by Yuzuki Ryouka. She appears in neither the previous series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha nor the later story Triangle Heart, but she does appear in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Shamal is one of the Wolkenritter, a creation of the Book of Darkness. She often plays the role of a team medic, especially to Yagami Hayate. Shamal's weapon is a portal-creating ring called Klarwind, and as a magical creation, she has no familiar. She is named for the Maserati Shamal, much like characters of Magic Knight Rayearth are named for cars (for example, Opel Zafira).
