Bird Lithfie

about
Bird is a gentle swordsman who has the misfortune of losing his girl friends whenever he runs into Rance.

appearances
His first appearance was in Rance II, where a dying Bird was rescued by Sill. During the short period of time that Sill and Bird spent stuck in Elenoa Ran's maze, Bird had become attached to Sill and wanted to save her from what he imagined was a cruel fate as a slave. The first girlfriend he lost nay wrong was due to his own attempted two timing; being caught while trying to seduce Sill in a confined location. Once they managed to find the secret to the maze, they reached Elenoa Ran. Because she has the ability to manipulate other's actions through magic, he had closed his eyes during their match. Unfortunately, he had carelessly forgotten that she was both a spellcaster and a swordsman; during their encounter, his left arm was amputated while his eyes were closed. When Rance managed to rescue them both, Bird tried to challenge Rance to a duel in order to win Sill, but Rance told him off as he was likely to die from blood loss as is. He swore to come back for Sill when his wound had healed. The next time he was seen, he had had his left arm replaced with a metallic prosthetic.

His next appearance was in Rance 4.1. By this point in time, Kyouko and Bird's relationship had completely fallen apart and he had eventually become adventuring partners with Kisara. Everyone was competing to solve the mystery of monsters' sudden appearance in the caves under the Happiness pharmaceutical's factory for a large reward and during an outing, he found himself trapped with Kisara inside a cavern with no escape but a gap 20 feet overhead. After a rough night, Kisara had stopped speaking to him for some unknown reason and left his company. In the end, he didn't solve the mystery and didn't get the reward money. he later took sill's place and became trapped in genbu castle till it was destroyed.
