Oraiya Nohansen Zelda IV (Total War)

Princess Oraiya Zelda IV was the fourth Princess of Hyrule to carry the name Zelda and was an important figure during the Gerudo Wars and later Labrynna's invasion of Hyrule.

Physical Characteristics
Oraiya Zelda was a female Hylian and Sheikah, roughly 6 feet 1 inch tall. She displayed very long blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. She was incredibly athletic, possible due to her Sheikah heritage.

Personality
Oraiya was a very shy and introverted individual, preferring to be to herself and having little interaction with others. This continued well into her reign over Hyrule and lead to many rumors from the populace. Though anti social, those that knew her her were aware of her very kind personality and her respect of all life.

First Golden Age
Oraiya Zelda was born to Princess Zelda III and the Sheikah wizard Agahnim. Though she had Sheikah blood Oraiya's eyes remained blue, possibly through magic intervention from Agahnim. Oraiya grew up rather sheltered and notably antisocial compared to her predecessors.

The Gerudo Wars
Princess Zelda IV was forced to hide within Hyrule Castle when Gerudo forces under the command of Ganondorf sieged the city. She remained hidden even after her mother was killed and Ganondorf had conquered Hyrule Prime. Eventually Impa arrived with an army of Sheikah and she was discovered. When Oraiya learned that Impa planned to kill Agahnim, Zelda revealed that Agahnim was her own father and she still retained memories of him. Impa then convinced Oraiya that she had to distract her father so that he could be arrested and put on trial for his crimes. Agahnim, now an Avatar of Majora, was lured into Hyrule Castle by Sheikah forces where Oraiya confronted him and explained that she still had memories him as a good father. Heartbroken, Agahnim broke down and embraced his daughter, apologizing to her and asking for forgiveness just before Impa impaled him.

With Agahnim dead and Ganondorf's forces in retreat, Oraiya was swiftly kidnapped by Vaati and taken as a hostage to the Darknut Cathedral of Ontheon. There she remained trapped until a Hylian army lead by General Kazakk and Rauru rescued her.

Second Golden Age
Because of her Sheikah blood, Oraiya Zelda IV aged slower than most Hylians. Despite her youthful appearance she was instated on the throne after the Gerudo Wars resolved. Impa spent time in secret to train the Princess in various Sheikah arts, as well as serving as an advisor to the throne. Eventually Oraiya married General Kazakk in 141 AG, giving birth to their daughter Tertralyna Zelda V a year later.

Return of Sulkaris
Oraiya remained on the throne for an extended period of time due to her long life. In 160AG, General Akazoo unleashed a swarm of Gohma upon Hyrule Castle and confronted Oraiya in the throne room. Remaining calm, Oraiya attempted to dissuade Akazoo from his takeover, though his jealousy and anger over being denied marriage to her blinded him to reason. General Akazoo then stabbed Princess Zelda IV, believing that he had killed her.

Oraiya Zelda went into hiding to recover and donned a disguise as a Sheikah to aid her daughter and later Link in retaking the Kingdom from Akazoo and the Gohma. She aided the Hylian army in assaulting the Gohma Grand Hive and later in locating Saria and a way to the Oocca Sky City.

Manifest Destiny
Now living by the alias Sheik, Oraiya watched over her daughter as she took the throne. When Labrynna began an invasion against Ordona Province and the Kingdom of Hyrule, she quickly approached her daughter and aided in leading a counterattack against Queen Ambi. During the assault on the Black Tower Sheik was mortally wounded in battle by Veran. There she revealed her identity to Link, and made him promise not to expose it to her daughter. With her dying breath she gave Link a key to her personal vault to pass on to her daughter.
