The Fat Women of Shonkweiler

Ferrad, She Who Never Left Her Bed

Shonkweilian pigs are way different than your standard pig. For one, Shonkweilian pigs are even bigger than both cows and horses. Their backs are also strong enough to carry women that are 600-800 lbs. Ever since Shonkweilians have inhabited the island, the pigs were used for cavalry. The Jossies even rode Shonkweilian pigs into battle.

Ferrad, daughter of Bistka and Vyza, was also into riding pigs. That is, until a pig buckarooed her off its back, and broke both of her legs. Her legs were so fractured that she was no longer able to walk. 

Ferrad is eldest of three daughters, and was bred from Bistka's womb. She become heir to the throne, after both of her mother's died in 996 BCE. She also became crippled after one year of rule. Because of her injury, she could no longer walk. That meant staying in the same bed 24/7. She would have to give out orders from her bed. Subjects must visit her bedroom, if they want to meet her.

Like her mother, Bistka, Ferrad rarely wore any clothing. Ferrad is known as another pioneer of Biskamonism. The only article of clothing she would ever wear was Vyza's red bikini. The red bikini was iconic because Vyza used it, during her legendary performance of Waves Of Fire. However, by the time 1002 BCE came around, Ferrad became too big, and the bikini ripped into pieces. Vyza's destroyed bikini, as well as Hakan's nightgown, currently reside in the Shonkweilian Historical Museam.

Ferrad broke three bedframes during her reign. She kept on getting fatter and fatter. It's believed that she was over 1,000 lbs at the time of her death. Ferrad was definitely a large woman, even for a Shonkweilian. 

Ferrad was also known to be a sloppy eater. After a meal, she would have stains of food all over her face and body.

The high priestess of the Biskamon sect is known as a Ferradi. Even the Ferradi may not be physically disabled, they still will reside in a bed 24/7. They sit, lay, and even stand on that bed, but they can never leave it. Most Ferradies have a bed on wheel, so that are able to still go outside, while in a bed. However, there are a few strict Ferradies who will refuse to leave their bedroom.
