Kovaloo (Total War)

Kovaloo is one of the first seven sages of the Goddesses, created at the dawn of Hyrule to defend the Triforce.

Etymology
Kovaloo's name predates many Hyrulean languages. It is possible the Ancient Hylian words kovala (free, unrestricted) and valoo (wind) were derived from her name. Kovaloo is also the Gerudo word for God or Goddess, also likely derived from her name.

Physical Appearance
In the Book of Mudora, Kovaloo is described as "formed slithering from her inception, she whirled and wreathed like the winds she was given to command. Once aware she settled and clothed herself in form". It is assumed Kovaloo is likely a being composed entirely of wind and movement and was dressed in clothing. Portrayals of her in later ages usually depict her as a reptilian, snake like humanoid often clothed in orange and brown.

Powers and Abilities
Kovaloo was given the ability to control and manipulate the wind, as well as guide spirits of the dead. She can summon forth cyclones and other powerful natural forces with the wind.

Personality
Kovaloo's personality was not described in great detail in the Book of Mudora. It is implied in the Book of Mudora that she was fond of secrets and gossip.

Creation of Hyrule
Kovaloo was the seventh and final Sage to be created by the Golden Goddesses. She was created to guide those that operated the engines of the Goddesses. She participated in battle against many of the Druthulidi that were corrupting the creation of Hyrule. When the Goddesses initiated their purge of Hyrule, it was said that she cleansed the world of the corpses that had fallen during battle with the Druthulidi, guiding their spirits away from Hyrule and into the void.

Post Creation
With Hyrule in its infancy Kovaloo returned to the Sacred Realm and watched over the Triforce, awaiting for the Trilith so that it may be passed on to mortals. When the Trilith awoke into Hyrule, Kovaloo, five of the other Sages, and the three Oracles passed the Triforce unto them and placed it in their care. Kovaloo taught mortals the concepts of an afterlife, her guiding of their spirits, as well as the nature of the Golden Goddesses themselves. Her work complete, Kovaloo departed to the west into the winds. It is said that she still participates in the guiding of dead spirits into the sunset each day.

In 128 AG, after Malkorbagia is killed by the traitor Sulkaris, Kovaloo returns to Hyrule and works with Solahrasin, Link, Saria and Darunia to pin Sulkaris and her forces on the cliffs of western Death Mountain. Unfortunately, during the battle, Demoko unleashes complete destruction on Death Mountain, killing Solahrasin, Kovaloo and many others in a mad attempt to stop Sulkaris.

There is no record of how or when Kovaloo chose Yaraxonal to be her successor. It is possible that there may have been another forgotten sage in the line between the two. Kovaloo is often worshipped by the Gerudo as a major deity, considering her a Goddess in her own right. In later eras she is often associated with travel, exploration, trade, and eternal life.
