Description
This is Riju's own sand seal. It may look intense, but she dotes on it regularly; the ribbon it wears was a gift from her, and it even has its own pen in Gerudo Town. It's far more agile than any other sand seal and far more outgoing. An ever-reliable partner to Riju, Patricia is always ready to take off through the desert at a moment's notice.

Patricia is a Sand Seal belonging to Riju, the chief of the Gerudo.[6] She was given to Riju as a gift from her mother.[3] Riju is known to dote on Patricia, such as adorning her with a ribbon.[6] Patricia resides in the Palace Courtyard, which is located in the southwestern corner of Gerudo Town. Padda, who acts as Patricia's guard, can also be found in the Courtyard.[7] Patricia is noted to be more agile and outgoing than the average Sand Seal, and she is always ready to take Riju surfing.[6] Much of the Fruit that Patricia eats is supplied by Lorn from her Fruit Stand.[8]

Patricia has the power to deliver divine messages, which has resulted in her being referred to as an oracle.[9][10] If offered Fruit, Patricia will share her wisdom, though she can only be understood by certain individuals.[9][10] Patricia likes Wildberries in particular, and she will share special messages if provided with them.[2] Padda is capable of translating Patricia's messages, which often contain Sand Seal puns. When Link gives regular Fruit to Patricia, her prophecies will involve asking for higher quality Fruit,[11] knocking out Sand Seals with explosions,[12] Sand Boots and Snow Boots,[13] and warnings about Heat.[14] When offered Wildberries, Patricia reveals information about Molduga,[15] Farosh,[16] the Statue of the Eighth Heroine,[17] and Tera's Great Fairy Fountain in the Gerudo Desert.[18]

When Divine Beast Vah Naboris became active, Riju took Patricia to investigate, though she decided to turn back when she encountered its Lightning and Sandstorm.[19] However, Patricia was scared by a Monster on their way back, and she ended up fleeing directly towards Vah Naboris.[20] As a result of this, Riju lost consciousness, but she was later rescued by Buliara.[21]

During the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest, Riju asks Link to meet her and Patricia at the Lookout Post.[22] In order to approach Divine Beast Vah Naboris with Link, Riju rides Patricia through the East Barrens.[23] After Vah Naboris has been calmed, word of Patricia and Riju's part in doing so spreads throughout Gerudo Town.[24] Riju will also begin to visit Patricia in the mornings in order to speak with her.[25]

Tears of the Kingdom



As in her Breath of the Wild incarnation, Patricia has the power to deliver divine messages, which has resulted in her being referred to as an oracle.[26] If offered Fruit, Patricia will share her wisdom.[26] When fed Splash Fruits, Patricia provides strings of coordinates.[27] Padda is capable of translating Patricia's messages, which often contain Sand Seal puns. When Link gives regular Fruit to Patricia, her prophecies will involve Sand Boots and Snow Boots,[28] the Desert Voe Set,[29] how to resist Freezing Climates,[30] the location of the Statue of the Eighth Heroine,[31] Sinkholes,[32] the movement of Dragons,[33] and requesting Splash Fruits.[34]

When offered Splash Fruits, Patricia provides the following coordinates:
