courage need not be remembered

Zelda Breath of the Wild AGE: 117 HOMETOWN: Hyrule SEASON: Spring HAIR: Blonde EYES: Blue-Green HEIGHT: 5'6" COMPLEXION: Fair HISTORY & ORIGIN: Zelda's Role in Breath of the Wild. © PERSONALITY Zelda is first and foremost an explorer. From a young age, she's been tasked with learning how to unlock her Goddess-given powers and seal the ancient evil known as Ganon so it can no longer affect the land of Hyrule. This task has been something she's focused herself on since childhood and she's not only a scholar but someone willing to put boots on the ground in order to complete her task. She works closely with other races in the course of her research - even races that are notoriously isolationist. Zelda is able to reach these races through grace and understanding; she tries to be calm and even-tempered as much as she can. Unlike most Hylians, Zelda has a cosmopolitan view of the world and knows that it will take the cooperation of all of Hyrule to defeat Ganon, not just her own race. She manages to make a great friend of Urbosa, chief of the Gerudo, and that race is notoriously private and is still private to this day. Zelda chips away at Urbosa's reserve with determination and kindness, earning the respect and even the familial love of the Queen of Thieves. While imbued with great wisdom and judgment, Zelda can get frustrated with herself. She has great patience with others and often serves as encouragement but when it comes to her own failures, she's her own worst enemy. She carries the burdens of everyone on her shoulders and feels that the whole of Hyrule depends upon her and her alone; she will not accept platitudes or excuses when it comes to her performance. She is quite forgiving when it comes to others, however, and wants to see the best in people. While not shy, Zelda is somewhat duty-focused. She knows that she must focus on saving the world and that leaves little time for romantic pursuits or even close, close friendships. She is, however, impossibly curious so she is not shy about asking about new inventions she's never seen or strange cultures. Zelda doesn't like to be seen at less than her very best and will get frustrated and lash out if someone witnesses her failure. She does so with Link on one occasion, when she cannot open a shrine, and quickly apologizes and takes the blame onto herself. Zelda is more or less selfless. She has dedicated the whole of her life to the peoples of Hyrule, all of them, and she is more than willing to give up on her chance for a normal life if it means that the people around her are able to carry out their own lives without the threat of a calamity over their heads. She would give her life ten times over for her people and does, in a way, when she seals Link away for 100 years and spends that time keeping Calamity Ganon at bay until such a time that Link is healed enough and powerful enough to take the monster head on. In spite of the things she's suffered and the horrific battles she's gone through over the past hundred years of her life, Zelda still maintains a playful curiosity about the world. After the world is rid of Ganon, she still believes that Hyrule can be set to rights with a little hard work and seems to be just as intrepid and adventurous as she'd been before working to keep Ganon at bay. She appears to be resilient, far beyond the mettle of most people, and pushes herself onward in memory of her friends and family. POWERS/ABILITIES Zelda's canon powers allow her to slow time for all of Hyrule and hold Calamity Ganon at bay for 100 years. She will not need these powers in game and will not use them. She also has prophetic dreams, so she might have a weird dream or two while she's here!

IC

Hugging this character: She would react very stiffly and awkwardly if you haven't built up some friendly CR first.

Warnings:

Zelda is 117 but she obviously still looks like a young woman. She lived through all that time fighting Ganon, so she's definitely mature, but she looks pretty young so if that's an issue for your character please let me know. Gen CR is good too!
