Physical Description
Zelda is a tall-ish teenager whose features are perhaps best compared to the Europeans of our world. She doesn't have any noticeable muscular development, but it is merely a result of her body's tendency to not muscle, not weakness. Her complexion is is a bit on the pale side, and she has the long pointed ears of all humans in her homeworld. She has blue eyes and developed eyelashes. They'd probably be pretty if she often didn't have a negative expression on her face, but either way they're intense.
Zelda has long and somewhat pale blond hair which she almost always keeps down. The tips of the hair reach past the base of her back, but it isn't long enough to hang down past the somewhat short sailor skirts of her school uniform. Her bangs are not worth much note other than that the majority of hem don't fall down far enough to reach her eyes. Often times she'll allow a large clump of her hair to hang to either side, but its more a lack of sweeping all her hair back than actual bangs. She does have two long strands of hair she lets hang in front of her ears, though.
Zelda's preferred attire consists of loose pants and short-sleeved blouses. She likes fabrics that aren't a pain to clean and colors that don't get dirty easily. She seems fond shoes not completely lacking heels, but she doesn't like them tall. A combination of style and function, she has to be able to move well with them. She will tolerate dresses and skirts, but in general doesn't like getting all dolled up. She despises high heels for how hard they make her ease of movement.
When she comes to the Island, she is stuck in one of her least favorite outfits. She is in the spring-summer uniform of Trinity's Light High School, a prestigious all girls' private school of Hojoshi City. The uniform is a sailor fuku with less than standard colors by our world's standards. The sailor collar is pink with two gold stripes. The tie is also pink, and short. A bit more white is on the shirt and it is positioned above the collar, presumably to avoid showing cleavage. The shirt also has a breast pocket on the left front side, which is topped in pink with a single gold line through the center.
The Trinity's Light crest is on both the white area above the sailor collar and over the pocket part of the breast pocket. It consists of a stylized design involving three triangles in the pattern of the Triforce from myth and various other symbology. It has been noted to resemble various designs of the royal crest of Hyrule in myth. Those that believe that the kingdom spoken of in myth did exist at some point feel it could have functioned as a transitional royal crest.
The uniform has a rather short pink sailor skirt as a bottom piece. Zelda wears a slight variation on the standard shoes assigned to the uniform. While white or pink low-heeled shoes are allowed, Zelda's version has two yellow-orange straps at the top that buckle with gold buckles at the back, making her shoes a bit more secure than the standard. The straps are not metallic, but the color is meant to compliment the gold of her outfit.
Zelda is often seen sporting two gold bangles on either wrist, and has those when she comes tot he Island. Her ears are pierced, but she tends to dislike dangling earrings. When she arrives on the Island, she simple has a single gold stud in both ears, somewhat easy to miss for how her hair hangs.
Weapons
Zelda doesn't have any weapons on her when she comes to the Island, but not for lack of ability to use them.
Abilities/Powers
Zelda can sense things. She has some slight healing skills and often sees the future or various visions in her dreams. She has some innate ability for magic, but has all but shut this ability off out of hatred for it. In the past her visions and healing have gotten her scorned, and she'll often try to ignore them.
Being the destined bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom may qualify, but she isn't truly representative of it at this point in her characterization. While it could and probably would fly to her if the Triforce were separated, she would have difficulty accessing it. Her power there barely exceeds mere potential.
Skills
Zelda is really good in a physical fight. She's agile, rather observant when she chooses to be, and packs quite a force behind her punches. She favors punches to kicks, but is capable of both and is not the type of girl who would well fit the "damsel in distress" archetype. She is, however, a bit lacking as a strategist, and often favors brute power over common sense.
She's rather smart, but dislikes school and gets in enough trouble that she manages only average grades. She has quite a bit of knowledge in regards to being a proper lady, but she rarely chooses to use it. Her intelligence also seems more of a book sort than a worldly sort.
Personality
Zelda seems a rude, rough, and violent individual. In many ways she is. She keeps almost everyone at a minimum of arm's length. Those that try to get closer often meet her fists. She both acts like and claims she doesn't give a damn what other people think, often spouting that if they can't deal with what she's like they quite simply aren't worth her time. She intimidates most of the girls in her school and is seen as something of a Gerudo (a term used in her world like Amazon is in ours) by most men.
All of this is a method of coping with the world around her. She doesn't trust people and is absolutely terrified to let them close to her. Its not an excuse that justifies her behavior, but it does explain it. She has powers and in the past people have judged and shunned her on those alone. She purposely acts like a royal bitch to prevent people from getting close to her. She'd prefer they hate her for her apparent personality than because of her strange powers in a world where that kind of thing is no considered real. The way her name relates to the myth and her powers only makes her more self conscious about the whole thing.
Even without the fear of rejection, she does have a few less than nice personality traits, although its quite possible they also grew from that. She hates being told what to do and has over the years developed a problem with liars. Despite the hypocritical nature of the feelings, she despises people who manipulate others and won't give the truth behind their abilities. All of this tends to get focused on one person, as well, as she has a mysterious nanny figure who completely lies to her parents. Zelda believes you have to be fully self sufficient and hates showing any kind of weakness. She hates even more that she doesn't believe she is able to do either.
History
Zelda was not born in Hojoshi City, but in some very large city in the same country. She was born the only child to a rich couple whose fortune qualified them as modern day nobility. In a largely gender equal world, they had no problem with their heir being female, and much of Zelda's early life was spent being raised by nannies with frequent visits by her parents to make her a proper lady. She had no more issues with it than other children in such situations would.
When Zelda was about five, she had her first vision. She woke up absolutely wailing and the nanny at the time rushed into her room and comforted her. When pestered about it, Zelda told the woman that she'd dreamed that their pet cat would die soon. When it happened a week later, it was seen as odd but perhaps a quirk of her fate. The next time it happened, it involved the nanny getting injured, and that happened as well. The nanny was freaked and happy the injury forced her to take a break from the job. She never returned to it.
While they sought a replacement, Zelda's mother chose to spend more time at home. There were no visions for a while. The next one Zelda would have was a good one. She dreamed that some money would be coming her parents way and it did. By this point, however, Zelda was beginning to wonder about the visions and getting scared of them. The money that came in caused a new nanny to be hired and more visions to come. Rumors began circulating about the child and by the time she was seven, it was beginning to be hard to find help. Her parents were rather annoyed at how horribly superstitious people were being.
It was when Zelda first began to heal that her parents would believe the rumors, and in the worst possible way. Zelda's father was doing something when he managed to give himself a nasty cut. This was followed by a string of cusswords and little Zelda ran into the kitchen. Fearful of the healing power she'd developed but not revealed, but concerned about the blood, she was able to heal her father enough to stop the blood loss. He flipped on her, and it was less than a week that her parents packed up and left. They went through several nannies, but each time Zelda's powers seemed to be getting harder and harder for her to control. It seemed impossible to get a new nanny after Zelda predicted the death of a nanny's sister, which naturally came true.
Zelda's parents put out an ad for a nanny, offering to pay three times the normal rate. They had also began to fill out the paperwork to put Zelda up for adoption. Even by then, they'd stopped considering Zelda as their daughter. She was more of a monster. A man from the adoption agency was interviewing Zelda's parents at their home when they got a visitor of a mysterious woman with long silver hair. Zelda came out to see the woman in time to see her bickering with her parents. She saw the woman notice her, turn back to her parents, and something happened that even now Zelda would say felt like shadows obstructing her thoughts. The next thing she knew, her parents were introducing her to her new "nanny", a woman named Impa. Eight year old Zelda yelled some particularly nasty things to the woman before running off.
Zelda's parents left home the next day, and she and Impa relocated to one of her parents' many homes, this one in Hojoshi City. Impa made no illusions about having put some kind of spell on Zelda's parents. She admitted straight to it when Zelda confronted her about it, but that was about the only clear answer the girl ever got. From the day they arrived in Hojoshi City, Impa began training Zelda in all sorts of ways. Zelda has convinced her mind otherwise, but Impa's training allowed Zelda to get her powers under almost full control. Impa also taught her how to fight, insisting that Zelda know how to defend herself. It was Zelda that turned the knowledge into the brawling she has now.
The girl was enrolled in the Trinity's Light system the school year following her arrival in Hojoshi. She began creating problems almost immediately. However, she never got kicked out as her parents all but threw money at the institution to keep her in school. Zelda, and quite a few of her fellow students, are aware of this. The smart ones are too scared of her to harass her about it, and there have been many times where Zelda has tried to get thrown out.
Strange visions and dreams have never been unusual for Zelda, but about two months ago odd ones began to pop up. It took a solid month for Impa to force her into speaking of them, and for the first time Zelda saw what she considers to be true worry in the woman's eyes. Impa began spending less time at the manor, which both pleased and greatly concerned Zelda. When pressured into talking about it, Impa would only recycle nonsense about guardian spirits and fate. Zelda gave up after a while. The dreams got clearer as time went on. Three.... four female voices, one eerily familiar. A coming darkness, shadows all to familiar among the frightening foreign ones. Hope in a green outfit...
Recently, she ran into a chauvinistic jerk named Link. The two talked a bit, and Zelda was aware Link thought she liked him. She didn't bother correcting him. Impa had been trailing her and she never admitted it but she was shocked Link had sensed the woman. He and Impa got into a tussle in which the other teenager did very well, but the woman used her strange shadow magic to confuse his mind. She left him with a few cryptic comments and Zelda moved on, but found herself unable to completely forget the boy.
A few days after that, she thought she saw someone she'd never seen before. She felt like she knew the figure, like she'd met the figure before, and chased after them. A dancing pale blue light with wings, a quick glimpse at what looked like nothing short of a ninja, and blacking out. She'd wake up someplace completely different than where she'd been before... she'd found herself on Dimension Island.
Other
This is no canon Link. NN1 said that the Link and Zelda from my fanfiction qualify as canon based original characters.
I didn't go into detail on her school crest because I haven't fully designed it. The only thing I'm sure about is it incorporates the Triforce symbol and resembles the royal family crests seen in the games.
Her name is the romaji for the word used in the games that means Wisdom.
