Ooh, is this a Stardew Valley chicken?

It looks like one to me but admittedly I have barely played any Stardew Valley.

It is 100% the stardew valley logo chicken, its facing the same way and has the same sprite almost exactly!

Definitely the stardew valley chicken! looked up a pic and the pixels are identical

Water based character names were already guessed though. I only knew of two

This is my favorite game!

The line saying "They encourage..." made me first think of the Junimos, but I already tried that.
Then I had the same thought as EndlessSpiral and tried Willy, Elliot, Linus, Leo

Some general thoughts I had:

• fishing is one of the five skills you can level up in and perfect at some point
• "respect for the water" sounds like it's refering to a moral value and makes me think of Linus again who has a quest for the farmer where you clean the water by fishing trash items
• fishing is a mini game that has a variety different mechanics counting into it: equipment (different rods, baits, tackles), luck (daily luck + buffs from food/rings), skill level in xp, location & time (ocean, river, lake, caves, ...)
• aside from the fish you catch with the mini game, there's always a chance to instantly catch the following items: algae (green & white), seaweed, jelly (river, sea, cave based on location), joja cola (labeled "trash" btw) and actual trash like driftwood, broken glasses, soggy newspaper
