Mary is the only Shibananggal in the happy town of Shabsinukob. Like the other townsfolk, Mary was once a perfectly normal Shiba Inu. But one day, while picking flowers in the forest, Mary witnessed what is called a "Red Sky Event", and was transported into a parallel world - one where Shabsinukob was filled not by Shibas, but by mythical creatures from Filipino mythology! It was a world immolated by the flames of warfare - with rival clans brutally vying for dominance in a civil conflict called the "Manananggal War".

Mary struggled to survive in this strange, foreign land while desperately trying to find a way back to her home dimension. Along the way, she found an arcane amulet that allowed her to sprout wings and transform into a Manananggal herself. Once Mary finally returned to Shabsinukob, she told all her friends about her exciting adventure! But she left out a lot of details in the telling: The smell of burning corpses. The rivers of blood. The cries of wounded soldiers begging for the release of death. The people she had to betray in order to stay alive. Sometimes, Mary wakes up in the middle of the night and just cries.

Mary's favorite color is blue.
