Karin

Name: Karin Mianra-Kokiri

Race: Hylian/Fairy

Gender: Female

Age: Actual age: 23. Physically retained age: 21

Vital statistics: 5'9", 150 lbs

Sexuality: Bisexual

Hair: Long, silver hair, almost down to her waist. Generally done up in a braid

Skin: Very pale with a bluish hue. Veins of silver blood are clearly visible up her arms and legs where magic flows through her mixed with the normally bodily fluids.

Build: Athletic and somewhat flatchested

Family: Her father is none other than Link, the legendary Hero of Time while her mother is his guardian fairy, Navi. They came back together three months after the events of the Imprisoning War, during which they became involved romantically (mostly out of grief) and eventually married with the help of a growth potion concocted by Saria, the Forest Sage.

Birthplace: New Kokiri Forest. Established in the world we know from the original Zelda games, she resides in a post Great Sea era.

Appearance: Karin is definitely one of a kind. The mixture of fairy and hylian DNA resulted in one of the most bizarre humanoid appearances seen in Hyrule yet. Her skin holds a pale blue color, only just revealing her mother to be the blue skinned Navi. Her hair is almost a pure silver, another trait similar to her mother, but streaks of light blonde are also visible in the bangs that hang over her eyes. The third trait passed down to her from her mother are her leathery, insectlike wings. While she was unskilled with them at first due to her mixed blood, she was taught by Navi to use them as masterfully as any pureblood fairy.

Personality: Karin is hardly an outgoing person, but when amongst strangers, she often puts on a strong demeanor to hide timidness and other traits that only her family and friends know she has. The longer you spend around her, the more likely you are to see a part of the true Karin. Spend enough time wth her and she might even consider you a friend, which means that she would finally be willing to confide in you her true self.

Weaknesses:

- While Karin possesses an extremely large amount of magic thanks to her mother. Unfortunately, being only half fairy, her body only has the Lack of ability to control the large amount of fairy magic that rests in her

- Karin has some rather unpleasant memories involving her childhood. When she was about six years old, she was being educated at North Castle by one of the King's scholars with about a dozen other children. She was shy to them, but still friendly. Unfortunately, they didn't share her open attitude. She was instantly labeled a freak for what she looked like. Day after day she took their jibes, but one day she just snapped. She ran out of the castle as fast as she could. That, of course, ended her education in North Castle. She was immediately given a full education from her home in New Kokiri Forest and hardly ever left. This incident has left her with a lot of suppressed memories that can be drawn out through rage.

- Karin's body has a low resistance to many diseases. Her illness at birth left her immune system just barely working. Although it has mostly recovered since her youth, it could still pose a problem if she encountered any foreign contaminant.


Equipment: Karin's only set of armor is a light set of chainmail forged for her by the Sheikah thanks to influence from her father. The tabbard is decorated with an image of a fairy circling a small tree.

Weapons wise, she primarily only uses her sword, which she prefers to use both hands on to increase her strength with it. Other than that, her only other tool she uses in combat is a set of Deku Nuts which she can use to blind her attackers.

Strengths/Abilities:

1. Brief control of time:

When her sword was shattered during the trip through the Twilight Portal, it was infused with the ability to trace and manipulate the portals Zelda was using to go back in time. After the sword was competely repaired, it gained the added ability of being able to pause time for twenty seconds once every day.

2. Plant adaption:

Allows her to temporarily fuse with any plant native to forest, so she can heal or disguise herself. The healing process is not instantaneous. In order for the healing to take place, she needs to remain bonded to the plant for a least an hour. And even then, only open wounds can be healed. Broken bones will remain in their damaged state.

The ability to hide in the plants is really just the healing ability without the healing. She can bind to a plant and remain within it for an indefinite period of time, siphoning off some minerals and nutrients from the plant life to keep hunger and thirst at bay.

4. Sword Mastery:

Despite her inability to use real mana, Karin is easily one of the strongest and most skilled swordsmen (or women) in Hyrule. Her skills with the blade are a mixture of her father's style, plus several variations she has created herself. She is more than capable than taking on people and creatures twice her size, though she is hardly willing to.

5. Eternal Youth:

Like her parents, she has both eternal youth and long life, allowing her to live for thousands of years

Story: Karin's birth almost never happened. Born sick, she was on the verge of dying minutes after delivery. Only by the quick thinking of her mother and Saria, the Forest Sage was she saved. With her birth, she became the first Hylian/Fairy hybrid, an event that led others to look past physical boundaries apparent in the relationship between a Guardian Fairy and their chosen partner.

Many people were actually surprised by the news of the Hero of Time's engagement to Navi, the fairy. Most questioned how the Guardian Fairy had even managed to achieve the size of a Hylian. Well, the Sages are mostly to thank for that, but it was the magic of the Great Fairy Fountains that allowed Navi to temporarily grow, allowing for...physical interaction between the two that they were incapable of initiating before.

It was not long after Link's initial proposal that they ventured far away from Hyrule into the neighboring kingdom of Goraidun. The details of what occurred there are sketchy at best, but they say that both Link and Navi disappeared in the Lost Woods as they began their return journey to Hyrule. Suddenly, it seemed as though they had vanished off the face off the face of the earth...

...only to reappear thousands of years later in an alien Hyrule. Millenias after the original defeat of Ganondorf, the legendary pair had suddenly burst back into existence along with Saria, the original Forest Sage. There were those who both accepted them and those who spat at their feet. Many believed the absence of the Hero of Time in a time of crisis caused the destruction of Old Hyrule.

The three were left without a home. There were too many people who might be willing to harm them for past events, so they retreated into the Fairy Forest and used it as their temporary home. Of course, the forest soon became their permant home. Thanks to Saria's idea of carrying a Deku Seed to allow her to leave the Kokiri Forest without aging, she now held the only hope of resurrecting the Kokiri.

It took seven more years, but the next Great Deku had finally grown into the mighty watchkeeper of the forest, the position that all of his ancestors had once held. And with the rise of a new Deku Tree came the birth of the new Kokiri...and a birth in the family of the heroes.

With their days of holding the limelight in Hyrule's eyes coming to a close, Link and Navi finally saw fit to have a child, someone who would be able to carry on the true lifeline of the Hero of Time...and a child who they could call their own.

During her youth, Karin was taught educated dually. Within North Castle, she attended a class held only for the pages of knights and those born to the royal family. Within Kokiri Forest, she was taught by Saria, who educated her on the magic and peace that the Kokiri wholeheartedly embraced in their lives. Despite her lack of Kokiri blood, she was able to easily keep up with the Forest Children.

Despite this, however, her differences from the other children at North Castle made her feel like an outcast. While the Kokiri accepted her, the Hylian children often snickered about her strange silver hair and wings behind her back. After a year of attending the castle for school, she downright refused to leave the forest. Soon she was spending all her time playing with the Kokiri and being taught full time by Saria.

By the age of twelve, she sought to counter her shyness by learning the way of the sword. She had seen her father practicing and had been amazed by what he'd been able to do. Despite the hero's reluctance, he eventually trained her. And while she did continue to remain shy for several years to come, her skill with the sword matched that of any Knight in Hyrule, inferior only to her father.

That was good, since she would soon be tested.

A tornado had recently ravaged parts of Catalia (New Hyrule's neighboring country) and had left hundreds homeless. Without request, her mother and father immediately left to assist in reconstruction, leaving Karin behind in the forest under Saria's watchful eye. By now though, she had grown curious about the outside world and had left the forest while her parents were absent.

She ventured to a dig site that she had heard of set up by the royal family to the far east of North Castle, what she found was an odd site. The site itself seemed empty save for single, shadowlike creature. While she would not find out this creature was actually Zelda, her father’s old friend who had somehow survived the gap between the Imprisoning War and the Great Flood, until later, she still pursued her through the Twilight Mirror that the princess had been apparently been modifying.

Zelda was not hostile towards her, rather, she was quite friendly, almost like she saw the halfling as a long lost friend rather than an enemy. They exchanged words, eventually forming a tense trust between them. Karin grew fascinated by the tales of old Hyrule. This Zelda seemed to know things about the old ways that even her parents nor Saria were even aware of. She gave details of the rise and fall of Ganondorf, the great flood, and mst importantly, the death of her family. There were so many things that were just now filled in for Karin.

However, Zelda eventually chose to depart, giving not a reason, simply that it was her duty to do so. Even at the halfling's pleading urgings, claiming that she could protect the princess and maybe learn even more, Zelda stepped through the portal, leaving the halfling alone with a hole in space. She now had two choices. Leave Zelda to unknown danger...or and follow her.

Obviously, she chose the latter.

Now, details of what occurred after this are sketchy. It is only known that Karin returned seconds later, returning with a strange, Sheikah woman. While it seemed as though only moments passed in our realm, both the halfling and the Sheikah claim that at least one month had passed since entry into the portal. Details are still being uncovered about the journey, but they will be submitted for recording as soon as the two travellers are willing to share them.

Few things you are missing the following things: Strengths, Personality(very important), Weight.

Also move her Story section to the bottom. Fix that and I take another look.

Ok, I added details on her personality to the bio. Her weight was already there though. It was listed under "Vital Statistics". Strength was also there prior to the suggestion, though I forgot to bold the word so I can see why it was missed.

Your a doll.

Okay a few more things(am I bugging you yet xD)

You have the Strengths section in there twice.

Also Expand her plant abilities, more specifically the extent of her healing.

Also expand the Sword master part, or just add it to the strengths section.

Ok...

Strengths section merged with abilities, sword skills placed under Abilities category, details of organic healing given...

*APPROVED*

On the Condition you don't use Link, Zelda, or Navi very much as NPCs. We try to keep Cannon chcarcters to a minimum, so please to use them a lot =3

Also you should check out the Battle school, it's fun and you learn.


*Hopes other councilors don't get mad at him*

Don't worry, the only time I would introduce canon characters is if I suddenly ripped a hole in space and pulledthem into my world. Then I would be forced to post the conversations I would have with them.

xDD Okay, okay, just clarifying.

SO GO HAVE FUN! You are free =3
