Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana[]
Shoebill suddenly appears on the north west cliff of Castaway Village on the second day and was greeted by Adol.
Most of the time she neither moves nor makes sounds, she appears to possess a high level of intellegence and is somehow able to communicate with Ricotta. It loves to eat the many fish that populate the Isle of Seiren. According to Ricotta, Shoebill is most pleased when Adol and the others share their catch with her.
She thinks birds and humans don't get along well, which is why she kept her distance when Ricotta met her foster father Thanatos Beldine. She came to Castaway Village to make sure the castaways weren't a threat to Ricotta. When she was convinced they weren't dangerous, she offered to help defend the village during raids.
