All right. This is a total stab in the dark, but for your consideration.
"To die will be an awfully big adventure."
Name: Dilan
Alias(es): Dilly (diminutive form); Fangbreaker, Bane of Wolfos (no one actually calls him this, but he claims it whenever telling the story of his wolfos fang pendant)
Gender: Male
Appearance: But for his hair, Dilly could pass for a young Hylian boy. Possessed of the same stature and build, the same impish ears, his hair is a grassy green with the slightest hues of straw gold. It is a color that is only known to occur in Kokiri, and rare for them as well. His eyes are a darker shade of sage green. He wears the green clothes of the Kokiri, with a sword and simple, wooden shield thrown over one shoulder.
Age: Dilly has no idea what this even is. If inquired, Ayala will respond that Dilly is 874 years this harvest (to which Dilly will respond, "Is that a lot?")
Race: Kokiri
Skills: Ranger (melee)
Magic Abilities: Spirit (Protection)
Weapons:
Inventory: Handful of deku nuts, water gourd (canteen), wolfos fang pendant.

Race: Kokiri
Skills: Ranger (melee)
• Sword and Board Dilly is proficient with one-handed swords and shields, though also demonstrates skill at wielding one without the other.
• Woodsman... er, Woodsboy? Tracking, trapping, land navigation, and survival are innate to a boy who lives in the forest.
• Shoot low, boys, they're riding Shetland Ponys Dilly is familiar with riding techniques, provided that the animal is small enough for him to ride and control.

Magic Abilities: Spirit (Protection)
• Nayru's Love - A barrier of protection. The larger the barrier and/or the more force applied to the barrier, the more strenuous it is to sustain. Because of this, Dilly is unable to act in his own defense while channeling the spell, as to do so would cause the barrier to collapse.
• Fairy Affinity - Because he is bonded to a fairy, Dilly is aware of the presence of spirits and ghosts, and is capable of communicating with them... but that doesn't mean he'll understand what they have to say.

Weapons:
• Deku Shield - A simple shield made from the bark of the Great Deku Tree, with the Kokiri emblem carved into the front.
• Hylian Short Sword - A Hylian knight's sword dating back to the Hyrule Civil War, the pommel of which is emblazoned with the wingcrest. Intended to be wielded one-handed by an adult Hylian, Dilly wields it more like a bastard sword (hand-and-half) owing to his smaller size.
• Slingshot - No Kokiri leaves home without one.

Bio:
This is a story of a time long ago.
A time of myth and legend whose histories have faded from memory, for none now live to tell the tales of dead men. None, that is, save the Kokiri. But the immortal children of the Lost Woods have faded from memory, slipping first into obscurity and then into the stuff of folktale or fables. Amusing anecdotes of travelers through dark woods who thought they saw something in the dark, some childhood fantasy of a far away land. Or even a dark chapter in a fairy tale, of misbehaved children stolen away by the mischievous imps hiding in the trees.
It was not always this way.
In time of great turmoil, the fires of conflict inevitably came to the Lost Woods. As the moblins and wolfos were displaced, they sought shelter in the forest. And, as the escalating conflict required increasing amounts of lumber, the Hylians and humans were soon to follow. It was thus that the Kokiri emerged into the conflict. They were known as the Kokiri Rangers, a hastily formed militia that began with the need to protect their home from the sudden threat posed by the interlopers to their woods. It was the first time that the Kokiri had encountered death. The fairies say that these days were when the first Skull Kids appeared, and that the smaller Stalchildren found on Hyrule may be the restless bones of those fallen Kokiri.
One lesson the Kokiri learned very well in those days, any Kokiri who leaves the woods will die.
As the Hylians became aware of the Kokiri, they sought them out for their knowledge of the woods -- hoping to find passages that would allow their armies to depart the main roads and traverse safely through parts unknown. The Kokiri's mischievous reputation may owe itself to some who lured soldiers down dark paths, where their spirits may continue to wander to this day. Such was not the fate of the knights under the command of Sir Jorj of Ordon, whose soldiers had helped to route a group of moblins that had been encroaching upon the Kokiri Willage. Dilly guided the knights through the Lost Woods, the knights emerging from out of the woods behind the ranks of an opposing army. When they had left the Lost Woods, Dilly seemed to vanish from their midst, slipping back away into the trees. Once the Hyrule Royal Family had put an end to the war, the Kokiri slipped back into being the subject of fairy tales, either the object of rumor or mere superstition.
Some time later -- perhaps very long or very short, tis much the same to a Kokiri -- a Hylian child was brought to the Great Deku Tree, and placed into the care of Saria. The Kokiri Village had changed with the arrival of new faces, three among them coming to be known as the Know-It-All Brothers. Clashes with these bullish imps prompted Dilly to spend increasingly less and less time at the Kokiri Village, instead escorting and guiding business scrubs through the Wood, either toward the Lon Lon Ranch or the Zora rivers. Vigilant to the approach of wolfos or moblin, Dilly faded into obscurity even among the Kokiri. The rise of Ganon only increased the danger to travelers to the Wood, as stalchildren and poes suddenly dotted the landscape. When the Hero of Time had emerged to banish Ganon, Dilly was reunited with the Kokiri of Kokiri Village when some of them traveled out to Lon Lon Ranch in celebration.
And, for a time, that was the way of it. The Kokiri outside their forest. Meeting, traveling, trading. Exploring the world outside the borders of their trees. But everything that has a beginning has an end.
Darkness fell over the land. The stalchildren and poes appeared, as food became scarce and people became fearful. Some even blamed the Kokiri for the drought and famine, cursing them as evil spirits. And so the Kokiri again slipped away to their Lost Wood, each day their absence from Hyrule society reducing them to rumor. And from rumor to suspicion. And from suspicion to myth, until they became a mere fable to the minds of many once again.
That the Hylians and humans have begun tearing down the temples of the goddesses has only furthered heightened concern among the fairies, for the Forest Temple lies not far from the Great Deku Tree and the Kokiri Village. The Kokiri Rangers are once again assembled from the ranks of the Kokiri, though so few remain who were there at the beginning. So it is that Dilly and his fairy are sent to explore around the Forest Temple, to look for signs that the Hylian madness might yet endanger their home once more...
