Though it should be noted that Shizuru's dub accent isn't a traditional Southern accent, it's a variation that follows along the lines of a "Southern Belle"-esque style, which is a more proper and refined type of Southern Accent, formerly used by those of the upper class in the Old South in the past.

Though British probably would've worked as well, I believe they did select this accent with Shizuru's character personality in mind.
I personally think her dub voice came out well...
