Description
Second character for a tourney: [link]Name: Ralu
Age: 17
Race: Hylian/Sheikah
Brief History: Ralu is born and bred Hyrulian, but is enough Sheikah for it to matter to her. Since a young age, she has self-trained and done her best to do what she believes is her duty to Hyrule. Being a woman, she is not allowed to join the royal/castle guard and therefore saw the tournament as an excellent opportunity to prove her merits. Even though she claims to be Sheikah, she has no formal training and most of her skills lie in combat and very rudimentary magics that she's been able to stumble upon by herself.
fyi: I am going off of the LoZ OoT where Impa is the only known Sheikah. There're not really mentioned or elaborated upon, so in Ralu's case, either 1) there are no more Sheikah/ pureblood Sheikah (yes I consider them a race, characterized by their red eyes and abilities which differ from normal Hyrulians) and therefore Ralu has no one to learn from or 2) there are Sheikah, but Ralu is not enough of a Sheikah to be considered for training or induction.
Ralu is belong to me.
Hyrule, Sheikah, LoZ, etc etc etc are belong to Nintendo.

Both of these characters are really cool! But I am stumped seeing as how they both look like fighters and you can only have one. Which one will you be using? ouo

No idea. I figured when I went to sit down and actually make a piece for the tourney, I would pick whichever appealed to me the most.

Well there was a certain thought process for her uniform:
1. Impa and Sheik are the only Sheikah that there's reference for.
2. Impa specifically protects Princess Zelda as a sort of nursemaid, so there's no knowing if her breastplate, bicycle shorts and other assorted armor are even offical Sheikah Garb.
3. In order to protect herself from Ganadorf, Zelda had to play a convincing Sheikah. Enough to the point that he didn't suspect her until she revealed herself. So it can be safely assumed that what she wears as Sheik is offical/something akin to an offical Sheik uniform.
4. Even though Ralu is not an official Sheikah, she is doing her best and therefore when making her uniform, would copy what records/stories are available to her on the subject.
Thus I decided to base her uniform loosely on Sheik.

Still I really like her and hey as far as I've seen there an no pictures to say much about the Sheikahs so I like your observation and choice.
