There are two versions of the list of graphical offsets for followers. The final version is in 日本_Ver3\asm\zel_char0.asm, but still contains plenty of unused entries. The data can be found here in the Japanese version disassembly.

Old Lady#

Additionally, the headers of the files zel_enmy2s.asm, zel_enmy4.asm, zel_enmy5.asm, and zel_sindt.asm mention the labels "babaa" and "bbwat" as external dependencies, expecting to find them in zel_exst.asm, but their code no longer exists. "Babaa" translates to "old woman," a counterpart to "jiji", the old man follower. "bbwat" would have been a water-related function for this follower.
