4 Shiki

In the game *Girls' Frontline* (also known as *Dolls' Frontline* or *ドールズフロントライン* in Japanese), "Type 4" (Shiki) refers to the Type 4 Rifle, a tactical doll that appears as a humanoid character in the game. She is often affectionately called "Fourth Sister" by players. As one of the earlier rifle dolls added to the game, Type 4 is known for her simple appearance and relative ease of acquisition. In the game's lore, she is a tactical doll from Japan, beloved by players for her disciplined and reliable combat performance. Type 4 primarily serves as a damage dealer in battles, excelling in mid- to long-range combat. Players can customize her combat style with various weapons and accessories. Due to her common rarity, players can typically easily train and deploy her in battles. While more powerful rifle dolls may appear in later game versions, Type 4 remains an essential part of many players' early-game teams, thus holding a special place and symbolic meaning among the *Girls' Frontline* player base.
