Princess Zelda | Ocarina of Time

[sheikchic]

PLAYER: Kae
CHARACTER: Princess Zelda
CANON: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

AU NAME: Zelda Gwyndolin Dragmir ^{(surname pending)}
AU AGE: 19-ish?
AU OCCUPATION: college student / athlete / part-time motherfucking model maybe

BLURB:

• TL;DR: Wealthy Heiress Creates Secret Identity To Get Time Away From Overbearing Father
• Said overbearing father is probably Ganondorf (because I love suffering). That's not set in stone yet, but I've been talking to a couple people about apping him!
• At any rate her father is a Very Important Man, so Zelda's filthy rich. She's likely not as famous as her dad, but she's still pretty well-known, especially among high society types. She's wanting to separate her "brand" from her dad's a bit now that she's an adult.
• Education level: probably college freshman or sophomore?? I'm pretty sure she graduated from an expensive private school rather than Recollé HS, though. In college she'll most likely be taking honors classes, and she gets really good grades. Was probably on Student Council in HS (maybe president? am I allowed to say she was president? it's a different school, so...)
• Sports: MANY. Officially, she does cross-country and lacrosse through school, and archery and ballet outside school. Also she secretly does parkour.
• Music: She doesn't play harp, but she was in orchestra in HS and plays violin and flute.
• Occupation: Possibly does modeling and/or advertising part time? Especially in relation to her dad's company/political ambitions/whatever
• seriously i have no idea how she juggles all this shit without the ocarina of time. she is just one of those crazy people who thrives on being constantly busy i guess
• Secret identity: Zelda regularly sneaks out in the middle of the night and does parkour while disguised as a dude. Dunno if she has a name for this alter ego yet but tl;dr it's Sheik, we are all completely blown away by this stunning revelation
• Since she can't magically change the length of her hair yet, she just has short hair all the time instead.
• might unironically enjoy pro wrestling, it is a mystery

LOOKING FOR:

• Zelda characters obviously! I like the idea of having Link as a Long-Lost Childhood Friend, for instance
• Fellow rich kids / private school buds!
• Late night parkour buddies!
• College friends! She is going to Recollé U in the fall, whichever year she is, and she's going to do sports for sure
• An agent maybe! Or paparazzi! No escape!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I've also been going back and forth on Ivan from Golden Sun but idk if I feel like being a lone canon warrior with him atm

[hangfire]

did someone say rich kids that play music

Lutha isn't as much the socialite type but his PARENTS DEFINITELY ARE and shove him into all sorts of connections, and he'd be coming in as a Music major completely on scholarship, if you wanted to play around with something like that. He's not as attached to his family's stature as a whole but he knows how to act and play the game properly, so maybe they could have a little bit of a bond over that kind of desire to separate from the whole?

Also he's a brat please feel free to punch him gracefully when the parents aren't looking.

[sheikchic]

yeyeye, this is a good idea! Zelda's more than smart enough to recognize socialite stuff for the elaborate charade it is, so she is also kinda just playing the game xD She'll appreciate the music stuff for sure, though, what does he play?

lmao Graceful Princess Punch, Activate! tbf I don't know if she'd actually do that (at least A) not as Zelda and 2) not before getting the ninja reflexes back) so a discreet swift kick in the shins is more likely

[hangfire]

He plays violin! Also harmonica and some vocal stuff when he isn't around his family, but he tries to keep those more on the down-low.

And a kick to the legs is still adequate amounts of minor violence to be acceptable so I will take it.

[sheikchic]

Oh man double violin players, that can only end well. What if they wind up competing over nth chair a bunch of times and it starts getting weirdly intense

[hangfire]

Oh man. IT'D BE SUPER WEIRD FOR HIM he'd be used to easily being the top of the heap as far as raw talent so having someone that he'd have to actually compete with would get him nice and riled up.

He's a pretty passionate musician as far as performance, which is a contrast to like... how super bratty and aloof and grumpy and even downright cold he gets sometimes, so I could see him slipping up more on smaller technical skill issues and getting REALLY MAD and pushing himself a lot harder just to try to one-up her. Because pride and all that. :V

[sheikchic]

Meanwhile Zee doesn't even care about the status, she just targets him because it gives her something to shoot for in improving her own auditions......... and also because he's been a jerk and she wants to teach him a lesson but shhhhhh

[hangfire]

GOOD he deserves to be knocked down a couple pegs for sure. That kind of competition would give him a hearty respect for her as a fellow musician, too, so even if he's an enormous baby about the whole thing he'd still easily keep in contact with her in the future, because ~connections~ and all that.

[sheikchic]

this could be the beginning of a beautiful frenemyship

[hangfire]

i certainly hope so :3c

when he starts getting regains they might be able to talk about nobility stuff (he'd land at about a Count status overall) and the existence of goddesses and spirits and stuff like that so I look forward to seeing where that could lead

[roseblooms]

...Okay so Fawkes here also likes/does parkour and there is something about the idea of Zelda (disguised as a dude) and Fawkes (who looks like a girl) being random late-night parkour buddies

I actually even have a little headcanon bit in his AU backstory about him making friends with people without actually knowing much about their real-life daytime identities and so Zelda would actually fit that mold really well, that she's just kind of his mysterious enigma friend who he sometimes sees nights who he's got a respectful acquaintance with but doesn't actually really know anything about

...

Though depending on what classes she takes at Recolle U she might have him as her graduate assistant

[sheikchic]

I would be down with both these things to be honest

Fawkes and Sheik meet doing parkour, Zelda gets to first day of class and is silently like "oh" but she has to pretend not to know him or she'll blow her cover sob

(what subject does he teach again, physics?)

[digthefuzz]

Kurt is a fellow rich kid as well as a college student! And he did also private school for high school so that could be another way to have met up.

[sheikchic]

That works! What's his major and/or sports, if any?

[digthefuzz]

Cool! He's been living the undeclared life so far, and he's not part of any teams but he does play some games of basketball in his spare time!

[sheikchic]

Haha, cool cool.. I hadn't actually thought much about Zelda's major tbh but it's probably related to business or poli-sci (even if she's not 100% sure what she wants to do, because what is running your own life apparently >_>)

[digthefuzz]

Both sound like fair choices for her! (and sob, yes Kurt will Relate on the struggle of trying to have one's own life while rich controlling parents are a Thing)

[scarlet_devil]

Émilie's a bit older (21) but very much the rich socialite heiress. So, it's likely they might have met at least once over the four years she's been in Recollé.

[sheikchic]

That sounds quite likely! what do socialite heiresses do anyway, go to fancy parties and stuff?

[scarlet_devil]

Probably one of the things they do. Émi is a bit... adventurous at times, though.

[sheikchic]

Haha, so is Zelda... although she maybe channels it a bit differently XD

[scarlet_devil]

Funnily enough, Émi's regained vampire strength, and once she gets regeneration, she'll start doing superheroics.

[sheikchic]

Oh sweet! I can easily see Sheik turning into a vigilante-type persona at some point, so she might have some company there, esp once the Sheikah training comes back haha

[scarlet_devil]

Just don't go killing anyone, Émi will be the classic, non-killing kind of hero. She's gonna go by 'Scarlet Angel'

[sheikchic]

No worries, Zee wouldn't kill anybody either xD That's a great superhero name though, matches the username nicely~
