[OOC] Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

Races

The Hylians are the original race of Hyrule that worship the goddess Hylia, from which their name derives. It is said that they were created by the Goddesses and lived atop the clouds before the kingdom's founding. Physically, Hylians resemble the other races of humans, and the only difference appearance-wise between them is the Hylians' long, elf-like ears that supposedly enable them to hear special messages from the goddesses. Their heritage also gives them unique psychic and magical potential.

The Gerudo are a reclusive tribe of humanoids hailing from the Gerudo Desert, from which their name derives. The tribes consists entirely of women. According to ancient legend, every hundred years a man who is destined to be their king is born. The Gerudo race have round ears, dark skin, golden eyes, red hair, and sharp bird-like nose. Gerudo warriors frequently wield glaive-like weapons and scimitars which suit their physical builds, but it is not uncommon for Gerudo to posses magical abilities. Males, or "Voe", are forbidden from entering their settlements, though exceptions are made for for notable males given honorary membership.

The Sheikah are an ancient clan of ninja-like warriors sworn to protect the Royal Family of Hyrule, even after death; as such they came to be known as "the Shadows Folk". They are generally skilled in magical and combative art. The physical appearance of the Sheikah is similar to that of the Hylians, only being distinguished by their red-colored eyes, white hair and extended life spans. Most Sheikah live in the Hidden Village.

The Kokiri are a child-like and secretive race native to Kokiri Forest and the Lost Woods. Each Kokiri is accompanied by a guardian fairy that functions as a friend, parent and teacher. These fairies also help the Kokiri to stay in contact with one another and find their way in the Lost Woods. The Kokiri believe they will die if they leave the forest, and therefore, they usually never leave their safe haven and know nothing about the outside world. The protector and father of the Kokiri is the Great Deku Tree. All Kokiri are ageless, and while they appear as Hylian children, most have existed for centuries. They are well-known for their distinctive and traditional green garb.

The Gorons are a humanoid, rock-eating race that dwell in the mountains. Despite their hulking appearance, Gorons are a relatively peaceful species. They are usually considered, perhaps superficially, to be of low intelligence. Gorons are shown to be resistant towards fire, lava, and magma. Gorons can curl up into a fetal position and roll at very fast speeds; in addition, Gorons with magic can even sprout spikes if rolling fast enough.

The Zora, sometimes referred to as "Sea Zora", are a race of aquatic creatures. While still generally humanoid, the Zoras resemble various marine creatures in their body structure. They are generally covered in silver scales, which give them a pale blue sheen from a distance, and have dark blue spots on their extremities. Where humans sometimes have long hair, average Zoras have rear-hanging caudal extensions of their heads shaped like the tails of dolphins. Compared to the other humanoid life, the Zora are long-lived, sometimes living several centuries.

Hyrule's Regions

Central Hyrule

• Hyrule Castle Town - Located within the heart of Hyrule, the castle town has served as the capital of Hyrule for centuries. As a means of some protection, the city is surrounded by a moat that is only accessible by drawbridges and strong walls. At night, the east and west gates close and the drawbridges are raised. Travelers know to use the south gate where they must pass through the heavily guarded military district.
  
  • Castle Town - The central Town of Hyrule located directly in front of Hyrule Castle. As the liveliest city in all of Hyrule, the town's market has served as the main forum and center of activity in the Kingdom where Hyruleans come to engage in business and trade goods. The population consists mostly of Hylians.
    
    • Green District - The city's slums, named after the color of rupees the peasants beg for. Many of the town's minorities reside within this district. While the guards do their best to maintain order, the alleys aren't considered safe after sundown.
    • Blue District - The commons, housing the working class. The streets are regularly patrolled by Hylian guards who maintain a good reputation with the locals.
    • Red District - The trade district
    • Purple District - Where the wealthy live.
    • Silver District - The military district, containing the city guard's main barracks. There are few residencies within this district, save for high ranking members of the city guard. The only shops are smiths employed directly by the crown to fashion weapons and armor for guards and knights.
  • Hyrule Castle
• Hyrule Field - A large, open field situated in the middle of Hyrule. The capital is located at the northernmost stretch of the field. Wild horses once roamed these open fields, but ranchers and farmed put those days to an end. The roads are considered safe to travel, and all blins have been driven away from the area.
  
  • Lon Lon Ranch - Located south of the capital. The largest ranch in the country, owned by the Lon Lon family for centuries. The ranch provides the region with milk, meat and horses.
  • New Kakariko Village - A bustling community located west of Lon Lon Ranch. Many consider Kakariko to be one of the most prosperous towns in Hyrule, sharing a rivalry with Hateno. The vast forest to the north and close proximity to the capital has kept the village safety for all of its history. During the war the village was a common resting spot for troops. Most of the population consists of farmers, hunters and woodsmen.
• Kakariko Forest - A vast forest bordering Kakariko Village on the north. Hyrule Castle Town is located directly to the east.
  
  • Blind's Hideout - An old bandit hideout hidden somewhere within Kakariko Forest.

Character Concept

S i b e l a Z h e i t k

Personal Dossier

---

Name

Sibela Zheitk​

Species

Hylian

Gender

Female

Appearance

A quintessential Hylian, Sibela Zheitk is still appears fairly well despite a decade or so of hardening and conditioning by facing the ire of criminals in the streets of Hyrule. The Zheitk dynasty has had its fair share of opportunistic adventurers, hireswords, and village rangers thus making Sibela’s pedigree of a warrior creed not at all out of character. However despite her formidability she is not particularly large (five foot seven). Despite this she does have a refined strength due to her time conditioning and wielding weaponry and basic armor. Sibela is used to wielding weapons and when off-duty does not go far from her blade, even in non-threatening environments; said blade is a well-crafted sword of Hylian make that lacks much for appearance due to her former rank in the Hylian Guard.​

Personality

Perhaps what represents Sibela the most is the tenacity to persevere and be resilient against all that the world throws at her. From surviving in the slums of Castle Town to the present day; she is most definitely resilient. Most people who have survived even a fraction of her experiences have turned out darker, bleaker, and pessimistic individuals but Sibela holds on to her ideals that have made her survive as long as they have; these ideals representing hope, bravery, and determination. But being hopeful and optimistic does not mean Sibela is naïve by any means; she’s witnessed death, misery, hopelessness, and dread; she knows how the world works and the consequences of those who try to survive in the shadow of it. So it is with a clear mind she travels, holding on to the courage that allows her to move forward; courage that exists to inspire. The world may be a blackened wasteland, but if you don’t let the world define you perhaps you can push for a better one.​

Expanding on Sibela’s optimism lies a cheery, albeit weary smile that exudes a personality of fearlessness, quirk, and kindness. As aforementioned this is a way Sibela can move forward for if she allows the darkness to consume her then she will be nothing and those who depend on her will have no reminder of the world as it once was. It is, that in actuality, Sibela’s whole reason for giving a pseudo-façade for people to witness—the world you knew and the world you deserve is not dead as long as you are alive.

​
Background

​Sibela grew up in the slums of Hyrule’s capital, her father falling into poverty soon after the death of his wife and the birth of Sibela’s twin siblings, Rokon and Dozal. However, the children of Turuk would soon find themselves in peril as their father looked to a man named Mozas for help. Mozas was a shifty merchant who allowed loans in exchange for favors and debt, but in the slums of the capital there was hardly many opportunities. Mozas told Turuk he had six cycles of a year to pay him back, but when the time came up and all of the income earned back (and ready to be exchanged) was stolen Mozas was not pleased and told his men to clean up his loose end—a fate Turuk knew would be coming as he sent his children to hide as enforcers came upon him in an alleyway of the slums as his children were hidden nearby. The end result was tragic and Sibela and her brothers would never forget.​

With her father losing their life to Mozas and his “kindness”, it left Sibela and her two siblings alone and distraught within the slums of Hyrule’s capital. The hate burning within the thirteen year old girl was strong and it was with that strength that she dedicated herself to keeping her family alive by any means that were not relying on the merchant and con man who had ruined their lives. Though the difficult of such a task was hardly easy and the challenge changed throughout ever day thereon as it seemed she would be doomed to the life of a street urchin. There were days where she wanted to end it all and wallow in the shadows of the Hyrule cemetery— to take the sword of her ancestors and kill herself as well as what remained of her family before the gods in an act of desperate hopelessness. Her father’s stories about heroism, prevailing against the darkness, and the mythic tales of the hero of Hyrule himself kept Sibela from not committing such a thing and in the coming years she would come to be glad for it.​

In the following weeks, Sibela would find her destiny changed as she picked the pockets of an off-duty guardsman named Ukal who chased the young Hylian straight back to her den where her brothers found themselves starving and in ill shape. Assuming Ukal was going to take back his food and coin from his rucksack she had there in an instant instinctively retrieved the sword she had kept hiding nearby in case she would ever need to use it. Ukal was decidedly amused, but enraged as well—but he was not angered by Sibela, but rather the circumstances where these children would need to do such a thing. It was there he adopted the children before him and began his odd mentorship of Sibela herself. It was here not too long after Sibela had considered ending their lives that they found their hope and a new home to live in, it nearly broke the young girl’s emotions flat.​

Ukal saw great promise in the child who wielded a sword to protect herself and others with no hesitation, and knew great things would come out of her if he could guide her. This would in part begin Sibela’s training to become a guardsman in the shadow of this mentor that Ukal would become—though it would be several years before she would join the ranks of that aforementioned guard. Her soon-to-be mentor’s training was admittedly fierce and unforgiving, but she knew that if she could survive her father’s death at the hands of a vicious murderer then she could power through this and perhaps bring Mozas to justice much like Ukal brought other motley criminals to justice every day. Sibela never complained about it, her eyes on the end goal of bringing her nemesis to justice and her father’s death avenged.​

Several years later, Sibela found herself recruited to be a member of the town guard of the capital. Within the early years within the guard she found her training by Ukal had prepared her far greater than others of her equivalent age who had only been taught the basics by the required training courses. Sibela’s drive for justice given to her from her childhood earned her a rigid reputation from the younger recruits who were more loose and playful, who had only joined the guard for the income that it provided (even if said income was not too grandiose); said rigid reputation was shot back with ire by the female Hylian who found her youthful comrades as “lazy” and “lacking purpose and drive”. In the early years of her role as a guard she found herself investigating Mozas himself, which had become a decrepit old man who had nearly lost all of what he had only a decade and a half earlier; an appearance that made Sibela nearly amused with pity. It wasn’t an easy job and turning Mozas in helped a bit of her pain, though his former partners in crime were still out there and the ones that played a part in her father’s death and ruin would be ones she would spend a near decade bringing down.​

Time had passed, and her mentor had retired; her brothers were adults now, fashioning into careers of their own (Rokon had become an adventurer like his grandfather and Dozal had become a hiresword for a reputable guild) and much of the justice that she had vowed to bring had been brought. Mozas sat in a Hylian stockade and much of his accomplices had fallen into a similar fate, disappeared, or died resisting arrest. Life had pretty much settled and was as good as it could be.

Until the whole world went up in flames.​

Combat Talents

Streetwise: At thirteen years of age, Sibela had to survive in the slums of Castle Town following the death of her father and her subsequent homelessness. In addition to taking care of herself she also took care of her younger brothers which required her to steal enough food and water to survive consistently for several weeks until she was adopted by a Hylian guard by the name of Mozas. Whilst her sense of survival skills in this manner are admittedly ones she doesn’t call on often—they do exist as optionable skills.​

Hylian Guard: Trained by Mozas and conditioned by her peers since the age of fifteen, Sibela has all of the knowledge and skills appropriate for a guardsman. In addition to familiarity of the sword, shield, and fist she is adept in knowing Castle Town in all of its functions. Although her knowledge of former criminal factions is irrelevant in the present, if she ever would return to Castle Town she would know all of the subtle passageways and entry points including alleys, sewers, and so forth.​

Adventurer: Following the path of her brother, Rokon, as well as her ancestors Sibela is a lightly seasoned adventurer and whilst she is no expert of temple traps, creatures, and maps she is competent enough not to get killed outright in a temple or ruin.

Weaknesses

Psyche: Sibela has a lot of weights and flaws on her shoulders despite being a well-seasoned and trained swordsman. Whilst she exudes a bright and optimistic personality there is a darkness that dwells within her to succumb to the harsh and unforgiving world. In many ways this constantly assaults Sibela in her thoughts and through her nightmares thus attacking her psyche one bit at a time. It is hard to believe that Sibela could give in to hopelessness, but the possibility is there and she knows it well despite her attempts to outwardly ignore it.​

Limited Experience: Sibela has not left Castle Town in her entire life and due to this Sibela lacks real experience with ruins, temples, geographic areas beyond Kakariko Village, Hyrule Castle, and Castle Town. She will need a veteran dungeon crawler or ranger to really make sense of things beyond her depth.​

Limited Skillset: Sibela knows how to use a sword, knife, and shield. She has elementary knowledge of archery at best and is hardly a thief (though she is halfway competent at stealth), ranger, or magic user. What Sibela knows she knows very well and what she doesn’t she is generally ignorant of.​

Just gonna throw this here for review, I'll add an attribute thingy in time.

Dekkunda, Runt Of The Deku Palace Guard

"One day... One day, I'll rescue her!"

---

--NAME--
Dekkunda

--SPECIES--
Deku

--GENDER--
Male

--PERSONALITY--
Dekkunda is a bit of an shaky individual: He's uncomfortable with staying in one place for too long, and tends to be a bit bouncy because of it. He thinks and speaks quick, one of his best traits being his wit for solving problems along with his good heart: While he is quite finicky and easy to scare, some words of encouragement are usually enough to up his bravado to the point of being able to help out. Even if it doesn't work at first, he'll occasionally use it to boost himself up with enough bravery to help out.

Generally Dekkunda is a neutral presence, and thoughtful towards those around him: He isn't the type to wish foul on others, though will take action when something goes against his morals. Despite generally being passive, once crossed he displays the temper scrubs tend to have, and isn't hesitant to open fire at someone who is threatening him or somebody else he happens to be associated with.

--HISTORY--
Dekkunda was born into servitude in the Deku Palace: He was destined to serve royalty, and didn't truly object to it as it was made clear there were worse fates. But he was already struck with harsh realities after his training as a guard began: Being an armless scrub, he wasn't able to wield conventional weapons or fight back in a normal way. He'd often get pushed over, beaten, and talked down to by the superior-born Deku's.

He refused to allow them to continue this behavior, however. As time went on, he began to adapt: He made use of what he had: His feet, his projectiles, and the thoughts in his noggin. He began outpacing the other guards by avoiding them and pelting them from afar; Leaving them without much room to attack him. This didn't earn him much respect, but it did tend to keep them off his back during training.

There were few fellow youths in the Palace, but one of those few was the princess. Princess Deku was the most beautiful individual Dekkunda had ever met: She was one of the few in the Palace that took note of his methods, and approved of them. He'd occasionally see her on the balconies above the training grounds, watching the training sessions he was in. He tended to get distracted and smacked across the head, much to her admitted amusement. He saw it as endearing, and took the punishments for getting distracted because the Princess was worth it to him.

It wasn't until he had time to age did he really realize what was happening outside of their woodland home: War, a terrible thing of violence, and death, ended many lives. He had seen some of his older superiors leave the Palace and never return; That must've been where they had gone. To war, where they died on the field of battle, never to return.

Politics were becoming hazy and more aggressive within the Palace; The Deku King was seeming to want to send even more of their kind out, in an attempt to aid the defeat of the Gerudo. Those who refused to fight with honor were tossed out of the Palace, forced to continue their lives in exile. The Deku King was running out of options for troops, as his most effective guard was intended to protect him if he was ever invaded.

So, he began marching out younger Deku's like Dekkunda instead.

Horrified at the idea of being shipped out to war, Dekkunda planned an escape. As the Deku Princess objected to her father's actions more and more, his patience with her got thinner and thinner. Dekkunda planned to take the princess with him; To somewhere safer so they could live more peaceful lives instead of the Deku Palace that was growing more and more aggressive by the day.

After nights of planning, and looking at patrol routes, Dekkunda finally set his plan into action. He began to sneak past the guards, dodging alarms and disarming some of them with his projectiles. He made his way up to the Princess' chambers, and entered to try and take her away from their horrid home.

They argued, the Deku Princess fearful of what her father would do if she tried to run away: Meanwhile Dekkunda swore to protect her. Unfortunately they had gotten too loud, and the guards discovered him in her chambers. For her sake, he attempted to appoint any and all blame towards himself by making it appear like an attempted kidnapping, before making his own escape from the palace, knowing his fate was sealed.

He ran for what felt like hours; He was lucky to have made it out the gate, and even luckier to have survived long enough to flee into more civilized lands. After the events at the Deku Palace, Dekkunda felt ashamed and hopeless after his failure, and simply began to travel Hyrule in his now affirmed exile.

However, he had not fully given up.

"One day..." He told himself...

"One day I'll rescue her!"

Little did Dekkunda know that his exile may have been more than his mistake; It may have been fate aligning him with others on a quest to rescue another princess.

--ADVANTAGES--

--Make Like A Tree; And Leave!--
Dekkunda can scuttle fast; Mixing it with his small size can lead to a hard to hit target, or a good distraction. He's also decent at sneaking about, though he doesn't like to talk about why.

--Nothing Bruises Like A Deku Nut--
Dekkunda learned from a young age that his ability to shoot deku nuts was his biggest asset. He's grown into an excellent marksman that can usually hit his mark; Though he has trouble getting a bead on fast targets.

--Outsmarted, Scrub!--
Dekkunda has a natural resourcefulness to him; He plans while on the run, and takes advantage of his surroundings whenever he has the chance. One of his specialties is using his natural ability to disguise himself as a bush to shake off enemies, before sprouting back up and pelting them with a few deku nuts.

--DISADVANTAGES--

--Delicate Bushboy--
He's not very durable; A few good whacks can put him out of commission, no problem.

--Born Inferior--
As an armless Deku, he cannot grab and hold things like other people. He had to depend on carrying it on his head, heavily limiting his storage capacity without any sort of bag. There's also many other obvious disadvantages to lacking arms, and he's constantly sad about all of them.

--Exiled From The Jungle--
After his "attempted kidnapping" of Princess Deku, he has been exiled from the Deku Palace to never return. While not all Deku are hostile towards him, things tend to get worse the closer you are to the Palace. It'll be difficult striking a deal to keep him out of King Deku's custody, though if the situation is dire enough he may allow entrance. Though Dekkunda himself highly doubts he'd avoid imprisonment.

Give me a few moments I'm still finishing it up

Turok

"Ah yeah, it's butt whoopin' time!"

Name:
Turok

Race:
Goron

Gender:
Male

Personality:
Turok is a pretty laid back guy, as most Gorons usually are. He can be hot-headed, especially when he feels that someone is getting bullied. He's a big advocate for the whole "pick on someone your own size" mantra, and since he stands at 6'8", he pretty much towers over everyone so he can be pretty intimidating. Needless to say, if you stay on his good side he will be the most loyal and protective friend a person can have. He tries not to take life too seriously, enjoys teasing the ones he cares about, and is quick to be nosy when his interest is piqued. He isn't judgemental of anyone however, figuring as long as a person's actions don't put anyone in harm's way, everyone should have a chance at happiness. He's pretty low maintenance, stubborn, constantly hungry, and eager to fight. He enjoys dueling and wrestling, eating bomb flowers, and just having fun.

But get on his bad side, and he'll beat you up one side and sown the other. He has no patience for wickedness, doesn't understand why people like to hurt others, and can't stand a bully. He tends to take those who may be smaller or more fragile under his wing, quick to protect those that cannot protect themselves.

Bio/History:
Turok had been a very young Goron when the whole Gerudo/Hyrule war had begun, so he hadn't really understood what was going on. He grew up an only child, his mother Denza had been a quiet and peaceful woman. But his father Roktuk had been the biggest influence on Turok's character. Raising him as a Goron warrior from a young age, Turok's father instilled him with every bit of courage and dedication he would need to be a strong, capable Goron.

When Turok was of an age that he was deemed fully grown by his people, since Gorons age differently than other races of course, Turok found himself a steadfast member of the Goron army. Since the Gerudo/Hyrule war had ended whole he was still growing and learning, Turok didn't have any experience fighting any big time enemies. But he was the strongest in his tribe, save for their chief Darunia.

Turok had heard rumors that the war was on the verge if starting once again, even after Zelda had ended it on such peaceful terms. Turok was determined not to let the side of darkness win.

Combat Skills:
His trusty hammer:

Boop

Giant Freaking Hammer:
Turok has completely mastered the ability to wield two-handed weapons such as greatswords, warhammers, polearms, etc. He prefers to stick to using his giant hammer, but will use other two-handed weapons when necessary.

Make It Go Boom! :
Being a Goron, Turok has the ability to pick up bomb flowers and use them with proficiency wherever he may find them. He also has superb aim, since he's been raised around bomb flowers since he was a child.

I Am Goron, Hear Me Roar!:
Turok is stronger than your average bear, or average Goron really. He is able to lift boulders his size with ease, and can lift up to twice his weight without extreme difficulty.

Thick Like Ox:
Both his Goron skin and history of hot places have given Turok a resistance to extremely hot temperatures. His skin is also hard like stone, and hard to penetrate, giving him increased defensive like body armor.

Weaknesses:
Ima Snail:
Turok being a Goron, and being quite literally built like a rock, his speed is not to be envied. He's actually quite slow, his attacks can also be quite slow. He's just not a fast guy, but he tries his best.

Member of the Jarhead Clan:
Turok doesn't think with his head, he thinks with his muscles and his brute strength. He's not the smartest bomb flower in the bunch, and as such he can miss things sometimes. He relies in his brute strength for battle, and so can be caught off guard by more tactful enemies quote easily as well.

Dont Mess With Mah Lil Buddy:
Turok isn't one to watch someone small get beat up, and thus can sometimes be his downfall, as Turok is quick to throw himself into the face of danger to protect someone/anyone who needs it. Sure, he can take a lot of damage. But, everyone has their limits, and Turok has no problem pushing his own to protect those who need it.

@Noxxis

I feel like Dekkunda just found his new best friend and ultimate foil.

[Noxxis]

Okay now he's all done! Haha

@Raddum I feel like Turok and Dekkunda are gonna have the best friendship tbh I'm excited.

[Todd Howard]

@Noxxis

Yeah. I can see Dekkunda learning a lot from Turok's willingness to fight, and Turok getting benefits from the little scrub's way of thinking. They're both friendly enough, too; Though there's no doubt in my mind Turok is going to terrify Dekkunda for a short while once they meet: He's huge and could literally just lean on the Scrub the wrong way and crush him due to their size difference. It'll all soften up a bit once he realizes the big ol' Goron is actually pretty friendly.

Working on a healer of some sorts... Kokiri? Sheikah? idk

edit: Writing a Kokiri's background is harder than I thought... there's no beginning, middle, and present- not in the normal sense anyway. They don't age and they live for centuries if not longer, so its like harder to map a character's progression throughout the years.

Edit 2, electric boogaloo: here's my take on a kokiri. Made a couple of narrative liberties and have established her as an adoptive 'daughter' of Talon Lon Lon- let me know if that's no bueno. Also, forwent a list of spells for a description of her magical capabilities. Let me know if you want an actual spell sheet style thingymajig

Phanna

Phanna Lon Lon

Name:

Phanna

Race:

Kokiri

Gender:

Female

Personality:

Naive and innocent, Phanna is an incredibly well meaning, if somewhat scatterbrained kokiri. Generally upbeat and positive, her happy-go-lucky attitude has a habit of rubbing off on others, and her empathetic nature allows her to easily pick up on the emotions of others. Though generally sheltered from the world, Phanna has at least a basic degree of common sense, and while often not picking up on the subtleties of deeper conversations, does not mindlessly rush headlong into dangerous situations. Caring and generally concerned about the well-being of others, Phanna finds purpose in her ability to help others. While selfless and amiable, Phanna spooks rather easily and in general is rather shy around new people, though she relates and opens up to children and other small-folk more easily. Despite being centuries old, Phanna still maintains a bounding playfulness and youthfulness but can be clumsy and lacking in awareness.

Bio/History:

Phanna's earliest memories are centuries ago, long before the Hyrule-Gerudo Wars. She, like most kokiri, spent her days in the safety of the Kokiri's sanctuary, endlessly playing games with other kokiri- and occasionally pulling pranks on Mido. Alongside their almost mandated play sessions, Phanna also tended to the Great Deku Tree alongside other chores- such as tending to their food bearing gardens, and planting trees to replace the aging and dying ones in the forest. This cycle went on for decades, punctuated by welcoming new Kokiri into their village as they appeared. Life was quiet and simple, but fun and peaceful.

Though Kokiri were ageless, and time had no particular meaning within the forest, Phanna was still considered one of the 'older' kokiri, and as the decades went by, she picked up more and more responsibilities within the little community. Though the Kokiri were an ageless race, they were still mortal, and suffered from the same scrapes, cuts and bruises other mortal races did. Phanna became the sanctuary's healer, brewing potions, applying poultices, and casting magic to aid the ails of her fellow kokiri. As she grew into her role as the sanctuary's healer, she piqued the attention of Fado, who took interest in her magical abilities.

Though Fado was among the 'oldest' of the Kokiri, he and Phanna became fast friends, and he taught her many uses for her magical abilities. From healing her friends, to using magic to defend her friends if necessary from skulltulas and corrupted deku scrubs. Luckily, the more dangerous forest creatures never ventured very close to the Kokiri sanctuary, as it was protected by the Great Deku Tree, and its small cohort of Kokiri guardians.

As the war between Hyrule and the Gerudo broke out, the Kokiri were largely unaware, only tipped off by the fading health of the Great Deku tree, alongside a few of their own venturing outside the forest. It would only be from Fado that Phanna learned about the horrors of the war, as he began making regular and longer trips outside of the forest. As more and more of Fado's tales reached the forest, Phanna's heart went out to those who were harmed by the conflict. Eventually, these feelings would spur Phanna to venture out of the forest herself, to give aid to those who needed it most.

Donning garb that Fado brought back, Phanna grabbed her belongings and set off out of the Kokiri forest, and into Hyrule proper, where she found herself in an entirely new world. This new world was populated by people that looked like her- but much bigger, and was a lot larger than the small sanctuary she had spent the past few centuries in.

After a few days of aimless wandering, Phanna was found and picked up by a young woman named Malon from the nearby ranch who mistook her for a child orphaned by the war, and brought her back to their ranch. Phanna would spend the next few years at the ranch, adopted by the ranch as one of their own. Slowly integrating into Hylian society, Phanna worked at the ranch, tending to the animals, as well as the many passersby, as Lon Lon ranch had become a premiere stopping point for many during the war. Its proximity to Castle Town and reputation for fine warhorses made it the go-to stopping point for for travelers and soldiers returning from and leaving for the frontlines. The Lon Lon Ranch was made even more popular by soldiers as rumors of injured and sick men becoming healed seemingly overnight started spreading, though Talon attributed these rumors to the healthy properties of Lon Lon milk and his kindly daughters.

The soldiers would eventually stop coming, as the war came to a stop, and a treaty was declared. However, despite the treaty, much of Hyrule was still recovering from the war, after a few years rumors of war on the horizon were whispered once again. Hyrulian military officers and government officials began penning out the terms for the purchase of more warhorses, and the slow and subtle movement of troops began again. Malon, now an adult began assuming more responsibilities at the Ranch, and would started making trips to Castle Town- her kid sister in tow.

Talents and Traits:

• Magically Adept - Skilled in the use of magic, with literal centuries of practice under her belt, Phanna is a capable wielder and slinger of spells. Though capable of minor offensive magics, most of Phanna's abilities come in the form of healing, relieving, and aiding the sick and wounded. Phanna can easily mend minor wounds, and while not instantaneous, can relieve illness and accelerate the healing process of more major wounds. Phanna can also cast minor wards to protect her allies or herself from minor attacks.
• Potions and Good Nutrition! - With her skills in herbology and medicine, Phanna is capable of whipping up healing potions and soothing poultices, provided she has the right ingredients.
• Unimtimidating - Small and diminutive in stature, Phanna's childish persona and innocent face makes her less likely to be perceived as a threat by others, and as such often ignored. It also makes it easier for her to get out of trouble and smile her way through the reservations of bigger-folk.
• Fairy Guardian - For as long as she can remember, she's been followed about by a green fairy named Eld. He's stuffy and overly serious, but he means well and is plenty smart.

Weaknesses:

• Smol - Phanna's small and diminutive stature gets in the way of a lot of things. She possesses the physical strength of a child- and the inherent fragility that comes with it. Her shorter stature means she has more difficulty keeping up with taller folk and she also has trouble reaching things that are high up.
• No place for kids - Despite being several centuries old, at least by her count, her appearance means she can't go places that kids aren't welcome- at least not without attracting attention to herself.
• Naive - Sheltered and naive, Phanna can be at times blissfully unaware, and doesn't pick up on more subtle social cues very well. Without the incessant nagging of her guardian fairy, Phanna is liable to walk into situations that she shouldn't.

@Raddum He's basically all rough and hard in the outside and a big Ole softy on the inside haha. He's gonna be an interesting character to play, I haven't played one like him lately. I'm very intrigued to see he and Dekkunda's friendship progressed.
