Sheba

Sheba is a 14-year-old Jupiter Adept. She hails from Lalivero on the southern continent of Gondowan. Sheba's origins are mysterious, as she fell from the sky when she was a baby. She is regarded as a "child of the gods" by the people of Lalivero. Sheba was kidnapped by Babi, the mayor of Tolbi, to motivate the people of Lalivero to cooperate on the construction of Babi Lighthouse. She was first met by Isaac's party when they were in Tolbi for Colosso.

Background
Little is known of where Sheba came from. Even in the game, her origins are never directly revealed. However, the myths of Contigo might provide an explanation. According to an old Contigan woman, the Moon is believed to be the floating city of Anemos. It is speculated that Sheba might be from Anemos. One part supporting this idea is that she did fall from the sky. Another proof is the similarities to Ivan, a descendant of the Anemos. Sheba and Ivan are both Jupiter Adepts, with the same abilities. Both Ivan and Sheba have blonde hair and purple eyebrows (visible only on extremely close inspection of promotional art), suggesting they might share a common ancestor. Finally, Sheba fulfills a legend concerning the Shaman Tribe, who had close links to the Anemos in the past.

In Golden Sun
Historical background aside, at age 14 in the present, Sheba was kidnapped by Babi, lord of Tolbi, as a form of blackmail for the Laliverans to build him Babi Lighthouse upon the ruins where Sheba arrived on Weyard. However, when Isaac won Babi's Colosso tournament, Babi released Sheba back to the Laliverans, but fate intervened and she was subsequently captured by Saturos and Menardi, looking for a Jupiter Adept to help them on their quest to restore Alchemy. This groups Sheba along with Jenna as a typical "damsel in distress" that Isaac and friends try to rescue in Golden Sun. When Saturos and Menardi are defeated in battle atop the Venus Lighthouse by Isaac's party, the Lighthouse which Saturos previously activated triggers an earthquake that causes Sheba to slip and fall off the towering structure, and Felix, Saturos' companion, jumps after her. It may not have been due to luck that both survived the long fall; the sea is described as having risen up to the lighthouse just as they fell and caught both of them.

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Afterwards, Sheba willingly becomes part of a traveling party led by Felix to restore Alchemy to the world in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and Sheba explains that she hopes she can unravel her destiny through this quest. In being the one to prove to Moapa on Shaman Island that her party is worthy of the Hover Jade item necessary to climb and light Jupiter Lighthouse as was predicted in Ivan's prophecy, Sheba solidifies the notion that she is an Anemos and, consequently, hails from the Moon. However, even at the end of the game, her mysterious heritage is never realized, nor has she found her true family, but Sheba is nonetheless content in considering Felix and his vast group of friends as her new family.

Fan influence
Sheba is often grouped with Ivan in fanfiction, in a genre called Windshipping.
