While female knights are not too commonly seen across the series, Shira’s case stands out for her particular choice of membership. With the Dragonslayer’s Greatbow sharing the same criterion, it seems that Anor Londo strived to accommodate willing women without compromising battle readiness. We do see Shira’s cross spear have a slightly lower strength requirement than the Dragonslayer Spear used by the male Ornstein, and this is factoring in the additional corpse entwining it. Indeed, the miracle was specifically created for the odd female knight joining the fray, presumably to bridge a physical gap with their male counterparts on average if the knightess simply couldn’t handle such heavy, oversized arms, then she could supplement with faith. Shira likewise wields a cross spear as well as the Lightning Arrow miracle producing a facsimile of the Dragonslayer’s Greatbow and Greatarrow, all utilized by Silver Knights during the gods’ dragon hunts. Although not wearing their uniform, her formal wear nevertheless incorporates silver armor, much like Silver Knights - both even share a similarly old origin. As a Spear of the Church of Filianore and the princess’ handmaid, Shira is obviously a knight of Anor Londo.
