===Filolial Form===
When Filo was born, she was a small, pink chick who looked to be about the size of an average chick. After a day, and some leveling, she had grown to the size of a steamed bun. Filo's third appearance change would be to that of a small, baby ostrich, not quite large enough to ride on, but definitely larger than her two prior forms. Filo would then grow into her fourth beast transformation, which was the size of a normal ostrich, and she was now capable of being ridden. It should also be noted that Filo's feathers had started to turn into a much lighter shade of pink than in her prior forms, and were beginning to turn white. Filo's last and most current form is larger than an ostrich and resembles an owl, her feathers are also almost completely white aside from a small ruffle on her abdomen and some feathers on her wings which still contain pink.

==Personality==
Filo's personality has varied greatly throughout the story. Filo originally acted like any normal animal, prior to her transformation ability. She ate a lot, showed a great amount of affection toward Naofumi, and even convinced Naofumi to sleep in a stable with her because she was lonely, by pulling on his mantle.

Filo originally acted like any normal animal, prior to her transformation ability as she ate a lot, showed a great amount of affection towards [[Naofumi Iwatani]] and even convinced Naofumi to sleep in a stable with her because she was lonely by pulling on his mantle.
   
After Filo gained the ability to transform, her personality became that of a spoiled child; she would refuse orders until she was fed, would throw fits when [[Naofumi]] wouldn't sleep in the same bed as her, and would randomly transform whenever she saw fit. In an attempt to try and fix her personality Naofumi threatened to sell her (and with a little help from an advanced slave mark) Filo began to behave much more appropriately. Since that point, Filo became a trustworthy and reliable member of Naofumi's party. Filo has worked hard to gain Naofumi's approval so that she won't be pushed aside if something should happen to her (though it is unlikely Naofumi would really ever do that and instead used it as a threat to discipline her).

This Article is based on the Official Translations of the Light Novel series!
The Light Novel series is the source material for the adaptation of the Anime and Manga series. The information and terminology on the article will be based on the source material rather than the adaptions.


Filo (フィーロ Fīro?) is a Filolial purchased alongside Raphtalia during the outset of the story who develops into a Filolial Queen due to her association with the Shield Hero and she is a staunch ally to the hero, as the possessor of unique class-up effects. She also becomes particularly close to the Second Princess Melty Q Melromarc.

Appearance

Filo's appearance has changed many times, depending on her form.

Filolial Form

When Filo was born, she was a small, pink chick who looked to be about the size of an average chick. After a day, and some leveling, she had grown to the size of a steamed bun. Filo's third appearance change would be to that of a small, baby ostrich, not quite large enough to ride on, but definitely larger than her two prior forms. Filo would then grow into her fourth beast transformation, which was the size of a normal ostrich, and she was now capable of being ridden. It should also be noted that Filo's feathers had started to turn into a much lighter shade of pink than in her prior forms, and were beginning to turn white. Filo's last and most current form is larger than an ostrich and resembles an owl. Her feathers are also almost completely white aside from a small ruffle on her abdomen and some feathers on her wings, which still contain pink.

Human Form

Filo can change to her human form, which takes the appearance of a young girl with wings on her back. She wears a white dress with a blue bow on the center made out of magical crystal threads so they don't break when she transforms into her beast form. She also always goes barefoot.

Her eyes in both forms are blue. Filo later gains a cowlick (a third long feather in her Filolial Form) that sticks vertically out of her head, which serves as a symbol of Filo's succession from the Filolial Queen, Fitoria.

Personality

Filo's personality has varied greatly throughout the story. Filo originally acted like any normal animal, prior to her transformation ability as she ate a lot, showed a great amount of affection towards Naofumi Iwatani and even convinced Naofumi to sleep in a stable with her because she was lonely by pulling on his mantle.

After Filo gains the ability to transform, her personality becomes that of a spoiled child; she refuses orders until she is fed, throws fits when Naofumi doesn't sleep in the same bed as her, and will randomly transform whenever she sees fit. In an attempt to try and fix her personality, Naofumi threatens to sell her (and with a little help from an advanced slave mark), after which Filo begins to behave much more appropriately. Since that point, Filo has become a trustworthy and reliable member of Naofumi's party. Filo works hard to gain Naofumi's approval so that she won't be pushed aside if something should happen to her (though it is unlikely Naofumi will really ever do that and instead uses it as a threat to discipline her).

Filo also loves to swim and can go underwater and hold her breath for hours. Since she is a bird, she collects shiny objects as her treasure, though they really are just trash. She enjoys singing and learns a song in every tavern the group visits by watching the regular patrons before joining them. Filo cares for children and plays with them whenever she comes across them. She also sings a lullaby for the new slaves of Rock Valley village to make them sleep comfortably. She also tries to lift the spirit of the news slaves to relieve them of their past trauma.

If nothing else, Filo completely lives and relies on her instinct, which is absolute according to Naofumi.

Once, Filo overheard the slave merchant talking about her and that the filolial egg that he sold to Naofumi was a cheap one. The egg was from two flightless birds that was meant to be raised for the meat. The egg was worth 50 pieces of silver, the same price as the adult species.

Her fate changed when Naofumi picked her egg and raised it.
