Yaraxonal (Total War)

Yaraxonal was one of the Sages of Hyrule, high priestess of the ancient Darknuts and eventually their first Queen.

Etymology
Yaraxonal's name was Cliff Lord tongue for "She who shines in the sun."

Physical Appearance
Yaraxonal was a very tall, slender, and lean female Darknut. She was characterized by dark black fur and red eyes.

Powers and Abilities
Yaraxonal was given the ability to control and manipulate the wind, as well as guide spirits of the dead. She could summon forth cyclones and other powerful natural forces with the wind. She was also very skilled with scythes and chained sickles in combat.

Personality
During ancient times Yaraxonal was described as a kind and generous individual, to the point where she was stepped on and taken advantage of by her people. After being imprisoned for several thousand years she became an angry and violent figurehead with nothing but retribution on her mind.

Ancient Age
Yaraxonal was made the Sage of Spirits and Winds near the founding of the Darknut Legion and worked with Zalunbar to end the civil wars that had nearly destroyed their people. Zalunbar made Yaraxonal his chief adviser after he was crowned king of the Darknuts, but he was soon after approached by Vaati in secret. Zalunbar, Vaati, and her husband Senturon worked together to trap Yaraxonal so that they could use her powers to claim Godship over the Legion. The plan worked, and Vaati was able to assume power over the winds while Zalunbar gained her ability to cease aging. Together Zalunbar and Vaati took over the Legion for several thousand years, leaving Yaraxonal sealed deep underneath the Cathedral of Ontheon.

The Gerudo Wars
Yaraxonal used her Sage powers to begin calling out to all corners of the Gerudo Desert, desperately trying to make someone aware of her existence. She eventually made contact with the young Nabooru in her dreams, though Nabooru could never understand what she was trying to say for most of her life. During the Gerudo Wars Yaroxonal inspired Nabooru to rebel against Ganondorf and take command of the Gerudo armies in her dreams, convincing her of his diabolical behavior and wrongful invasion of Hyrule. When hints of her actions came to Twinrova they swiftly brainwashed Nabooru and forced her to fight against the Hylians. Aware of her actions but unable to control herself, Nabooru began a long battle of wills until Yaraxonal helped her overcome Twinrova's influence. Eventually Nabooru betrayed Ganondorf to the invading Hylian armies; she broke the locks to the gates of Ashinon and allowed the invaders to kill Twinrova and capture Ganondorf. Yaraxonal then managed to inspire Nabooru to explore the chambers under the Cathedral of Ontheon during the Hylian siege of 105 AG. Together with Senturon they found Yaraxonal frozen in stone and managed to free her.

Yaraxonal then ascended from Ontheon and confronted Vaati, nearly ripping apart his Minish host. She formed a short pact with the Hylians and aided them in assaulting Ontheon. In the upper levels of the Cathedral she confronted Vaati once again, now disposed of his Minish host. She, along with Rauru and Darunia, battled Vaati and managed to kill him. She soon after murdered Zalanbar and ended his reign over the Darknut Legion.

Yaraxonal and Senturon both took the throne of the Legion after their victory, declaring war on the Gerudo and enslaving the remainder of their people and putting their leaders on trial. Many Gerudo leaders were executed, but Ganondorf was spared and imprisoned after Nabooru pleaded for his life. Sometime shortly after the Gerudo Wars Yaraxonal named Nabooru the next Sage of Spirits.

Hyrule in Chaos
In 170 AG Ganondorf managed to cause an uprising amongst the Gerudo enslaved by the Darknut Legion. With the help of Nardu the White and her Lizalfos armies, Yaraxonal was defeated and the Gerudo freed across the Legion's cities. Their forces outnumbered by the combined Gerudo and Lizalfos armies, Yaraxonal and the Darknuts were in turn enslaved. It was revealed that Nabooru had aided the Gerudo in finding secret passages to the Darknut cities for rebellious Gerudo to use during the attacks, and she was labelled a traitor of the Legion by Yaraxonal.

A Tale of Two Swords
Fives years later in 175 AG, Yaraxonal and the Darknuts were freed from Gerudo control by the armies of Princess Zelda V and Midna. Out for revenge against Nabooru and Ganondorf, Yaraxonal allied her forces with Zelda and Midna and began cooperating with them to retake Hyrule.

Yaraxonal's Darknut armies aided in a trap against Ganondorf by attacking his forces from the north while they were occupied fighting Stalfos and Wizzrobe armies. Princess Zelda's army attacked from the south, and together with Yaraxonal they managed to defeat Ganondorf's army. Yaraxonal pursued Ganodorf into the Gerudo Desert, along with Princess Zelda by her side and confronted his and Ghirahim's Moblin forces. She attempted to battle Ganondorf in combat personally, but he managed to gravely injure and incapacitate her.

Yaraxonal was forced to recover, though during her rest she was approached by both Ganondorf and Nabooru, pleading for forgiveness. Yaraxonal forgave Ganondorf, deeming his motives good but his action flawed. Yaraxonal refused to forgive Nabooru, however, who's duty was to her Sagehood and not Ganondorf.

When Yaraxonal recovered from her injuries she lead her armies in a defensive against the Church of Majora alongside Princess Zelda as they awaited the arrival of Goron, Kokiri, and Zora forces. When all three armies had arrived, Yaraxonal and her Darknut forces remained behind to stop Majora's armies from pursuing them. It is unknown if Yaraxonal or her armies survived, though they were successful in delaying Majora's forces long enough from stopping Princess Zelda and her allies' assault on Majora and Hyrule Castle.
