Saria (RPG)



Saria is a Sage of Forest, descendant of Sulkaris, former chieftess of the Kokiri and a founding member of Kazakk's order.

Physical Appearance
Having been created by the Great Deku Tree to serve as his heir, Saria bears traits unseen in other Kokiri, such as green hair. Due to the influence of the Kokiri Forest's magic, she maintains the appearance of a young girl for centuries.

Personality
Before her first death at the hands of Mido, Saria was a jovial Kokiri unconcerned with matters of the outside world. Shortly following the start of the Gerudo Wars, her optimism and trust in people was violently eroded by repeated traumatic events, including her untimely death, the demise of her father and the Kokiri which she witnessed with her own eyes, and a 20-year old period of isolation in the Kokiri Forest.

By the time of Akazoo's invasion and the founding of Kazakk's order, Saria had become an unsociable and terrified individual, alternating between bouts of melancholy, fear, and nostalgia. She was torn between simultaniously wanting to go back in time before her trauma, and a desire to grow old and die like normal humans. Her newfound affection for Link and an urge to be loved would lead her to suicidal bravery in the Sacred Realm, which left her trapped inside for another year.

Trivia

 * In The Fallen Sage, it is stated at multiple times Saria spent 100 years alone in the Kokiri Forest. This was later retconned to only 20 years.
 * Additionally, in The Fallen Sage and the original first few chapters of the Gerudo Wars, this Saria was intended to be the same as the one from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. She was later retroactively turned into an original character.
