Overview
Shidonoko (lit. Shido's child/"Four Realms of a individual/child" ) is the protagonist of Kataribesou (かたりべ荘～淵藪記～) .
Appearance
Shidonoko looks like a white-gray stick figure with a ponytail, which has a orange hairclip. Because of this, it is hard to know which gender it is, though it is commonly assumed to be female, due to its ponytail and name (-ko suffix is usually used in girls on Japan). Depending on how the sprite she has is intrepeted, she may either be wearing clothes or not.
She may wildly change appearance by using symbols, which are gained from defeating the bosses from each world.
Personality
N/A.
In fanart, she's either portrayed as a very curious person, or as a serious battler (Because Kataribesou is one of the only YNFGs that has RPG aesthetics). Sometimes a bit of both.
Past
Note: there's spoilers here. Refrain from reading it until you play through the game fully. Unknown.
However, due to the endings, it is implied that she is 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. And the scientist may or may not be Shidonoko's father.
