Overview
Shidonoko (しどのこ) is the protagonist of Kataribesou.
Appearance
Shidonoko looks like a white-gray stick figure with a ponytail, which has a orange-blue hairclip. Because of this, it is hard to know which gender they are, though they're commonly assumed to be female, due to their ponytail and name (-ko suffix is usually used for girls in Japan), as well as two of the symbols (Minawamea and Queen), which are very feminine-like in appearance. Depending on how the sprite they have is interpreted, they may either be wearing clothes or not, or even be an actual person with a face or not.
They can wildly change appearance by using symbols, which are gained from defeating the bosses from each world. These symbols change their to make an appearance that is similar to the defeated bosses, only with a few changes, gaining each bosses abilities (skills). An extra amount of 4 bonus bosses are scattered on the world, and unlike the other symbols, Shidonoko can set up the appearances and skills at the building. Using the bonus bosses' symbol also changes Shidonoko's name. If the Zafra symbol is used, for example, Shidonoko's name turns into Zafunoko. It is also to note that the Bonus bosses' symbols (aka MH Enhancement) can be used in the room.
Personality
Not much is known about Shidonoko's personality.

Not much is known about Shidonoko's past.
However, due to the endings, it is implied that they are an artificially engineered being, and that the whole game was a training session. Strangely, on the outside world, we see characters which look like the characters of the world, along with a particular one that looks like Shidonoko. The scientist may or may not be Shidonoko's father/mother.
