Majora is a central character to the Book of Mudora series, though her allegiances are shrouded in mystery. Thought to be only known in Termina, a few Hylians who belong to the secret sects that guard the true course of history know of her existence. Among them she is vilified as a goddess of death and chaos, something she does not refute.

History
- - - - -

How Majora was born is a mystery that the gods could never hope to solve. As an infant, Majora was discovered by her adoptive mother after a strange pulse of energy struck the Gods' Realm. When she was a child, a tragedy struck the Neithim, driving them to near extinction, and she vanished into thin air.

As the Neithim's city was repopulated and brought back to its former glory, tensions were mounting with the Angeli of the neighboring city, Aerias. To be more precise, it was their leader they feared, a battle-hungry warrior they called the Fierce Deity. As talks of peace failed left and right, the Fierce Deity demanded Majora come out of hiding and face him. When the inevitable happened and the Neithim and Angeli went to war, Majora resurfaced and the two were embroiled in a brutal battle.

But, a second pulse of energy struck through the Gods' Realm, destroying their home and casting its inhabitants into the void between dimensions. The Fierce Deity and his army broke through into a new realm but were quickly followed by Majora, and several other gods. Within this new realm, they were drawn to a world created by three lower goddesses, Din, Farore, and Nayru.

Awakening in the new world, the battle was sparked anew and wore on for three days, with many of the inhabitants of the infant world taking sides with the opposing gods. Their powers evenly matched, Majora saw only one way to end the fight. Calling upon her allies for help, Majora was able to strip a vast amount of power from the Fierce Deity’s body before sealing him away inside a crystalline prison and casting him deep inside the planet. But, these actions consumed too much of her energy and so, along with the Neithim, other gods loyal to her, and her human followers, Majora fled to north and split the world into two parallel dimensions. Majora could no longer carry on and granted her followers protection as her body vanished from the world.

Generations later, one of the Angeli rediscovered the Fierce Deity’s stripped powers and encased this immense power within a mask. Breaching the dimensional barrier, he found a tribe of shadowfolk who worshipped Majora, creating a mask from the power she granted them. This Angelo stripped the powers of protection away and, by some outside force, Majora's mask was twisted into an object of pure chaos that would wreck havoc across the newly found lands of Termina. Not long was the rampage before both masks were sealed by the remaining Neithim.

Ages have passed and the story of the war between these two gods has faded from history to become nothing more than a fairy tale told to children. Little do they know, the Fierce Deity still slumbers beneath the earth and Majora exists somewhere in the world, biding her time until she restores her strength. The day is quickly coming when the dimensions will reunite, signaling the return of these two gods and all races will prove powerless as Majora and the Fierce Deity seek to end the war they started thousands of years prior.

Love the backstory and design over-all, but I can't help but think of Veran when I see this...

Actually, I did use the design of Veran's dress as an inspiration, especially since, in my story, the sorceress form Veran takes does have a connection to Majora.

i'm pretty amazed i've tried binding a fandom backstory to Majora to explain her even having a history but i associated her more with the twili when i saw the fused shadows and how they resembled the mask so i always imagined her being a goddess who may have been the creator of the place, though here it seems she could be tied with a more original way to the story line

In my story, she is connected with the Twili as a small group of her human followers make up a part of the Dark Interlopers. But this is only mentioned in passing as it's not a major plot point.

ah, in my own mind she'd be the creator of it but she was drawn into a human form and gained an actual conciseness as a twili in one of the first empires and also went alongside the previous twili-human form of fierce deity, their true essence actually gaining a actual mind instead of just being soem immortal essence and gaining more power until eventually another immortal being destroying their physical forms and they basically only begin saved by the 4 giants sealing them inside their masks and their minds being suppressed by their chaotic power

holy geez, did you just come up with all of this on your own? It's good I'll give you that, but it's not really tieable to canon other than the fact that Majora and the fierce deity both broke through to Hyrule in their battles.

I'm glad you think it's good. Makes me feel a little bit better since I still think it's terrible. Everything was made up on my own, bit by bit, over the course of the ten years I've been making this story. What I have here is just a tiny, roughly 1/4 or 1/3, portion of her full backstory. Since I wanted to avoid story spoilers, some of the missing details do help to show how she can possibly fit into canon. Even then, I've purposely left her canon connection ambiguous so if a game taking place prior to OoT is released, I can try to fit her into the world's history to some degree. Of course, since I've already spoiled Skyward Sword for myself, I found that I may be able to give her a stronger tie to canon.

However, I do like your design of her, namely her wardrobe. Would it be alright if I were to incorperate a few things from this into my own design further down the road?

I'm fine with you taking some inspirations for your design. I'd definitely love to see what you can come up with.

I'll see what I can do. I'm definately using her skirt, because for the past four designs I've had it's been blank and boring, and the design before those had just a random array of shapes. I think this will work much better. *finger pyramid of evil contemplation*

Hm. Yes. I'm interested to see how a lot of things tie together with Skyward Sword. I've read a review that says many of the Zelda games are strung together quite nicely in the story, so I'm excited for that.

I suppose to each their own, yes? I know your story and my story are only two of the many many MANY Majora stories out there. Sadly I don't think we're ever going to get an answer, since Majora may very well have just been a one off bang for Nintendo, like Onox, Veran, and Malledus.
