<p>She usually says the phrase "how shallow-minded" (あさはかなり,asahaka nari). Is the fact that <a href="http://angelbeats.wikia.com/wiki/Shiina#Background" rel="nofollow noreferrer">she came from the past (a.e Feudal Japan) and was born in Ancient Japan</a> has something to do with it?</p>

The suffix [-なり](http://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8A#.E5.8F.A4.E5.85.B8.E6.97.A5.E6.9C.AC.E8.AA.9E) is an ancient word.  The repeated usage of the phrase suggests that she is from the past.
