Parona

Parona (パロナ) is a girl from Ninannah and a close friend of March. As a child, Parona often played with a young girl she referred to as "big sis". One day, her sister took her into the forest and asked her to play a game - hide and try not to be found. She said the game would end when she came back and left Parona with food that would last for a couple of days. After an unknown amount of time, Parona came out of hiding and asked an older woman where her older sister went. The older woman told Parona that the girl was no longer there because she was chosen as a sacrifice for the Spirit Bear. Parona ran away, criticized by the villagers, and eventually found her sister's body lying in the forest.
