- Siru carries around an axe whenever she goes out into the Void district to gather resources. She also puts the silver cowbell around her neck, per her mom's wish
- Maiju can't dance. When people tell her to "Just move your body to the music!" she just starts walking around or hitting stuff in tandem to it. The most in tune she's been with music and song is war chants. To be fair, she's pretty good at that. But really, it's so hard to get her to dance, you could lead her but she'll be stiff and plain, as much as usually. Although she won't refuse if you ask her to dance with you
- Mamondes skin is matte, contrary to the torso piece / corset, which is shiny and of course, contains lots of glittery things
- Her face lacks any genuine features at this point, and her now closed eyes only have lashes visible. Her face looks like a dark mask with false lashes glued onto it. She can't make expressions anymore.
- Evilicus would absolutely listen to the music of and watch all those early 2000's "edgy" amvs with Skillets songs, and unironically vibe with all of it.
- The bandaid on Evie's helmet is hello kitty themed, unsurprisingly since it's from Mewmew. Evilicus ofc has yet to look into a mirror and is blissfully unaware of this. On that note, they haven't seen themself in a mirror in a while, least of all without the armor. Evie barely knows what they themself look like under all that
- Evilicus likely had plenty of siblings, but they wouldn't be aware of this fact.
- Setä has never rode a bike of any kind but really wishes he could
- Lassi doesn't speak Swedish unlike Nan and Siru, although he does know some very basic fragments of it such as random words or sentences. If English wasn't the pov language here I'd make it so he speaks it the best out of his family but ah well

Haven’t completely figured out the backstory yet, but basically Iliana winds up in Hyrule with little to no idea how she got there or even where she is. She thinks she’s an elf at first because of the ears, and it isn’t until she nearly gets killed by monsters and drowning- encountering a woman named Mailen/Maiju who fishes her out of the river, that she learns she’s in Hyrule. Something Iliana... both does and doesn’t know anything about.
Mailen/Maiju is a Sheika who grew up in Gerudo, by the way. She’s a weapon merchant and bladesmith, and learned the fighting style of the Gerudo women. So she’s overall a pretty tough gal. Her design may change- so don’t get too attached to this version of her just yet, lol. Mailen is her Sheika name and Maiju her Gerudo name. She tends to go back-and-forth between the Gerudo, Rito, and Zora regions frequently. She’s on pretty good terms with the Zora, and laments not being able to visit after the Divine Beast Ruta starts acting up.
After she saves Iliana, she drops her off in Hateno- a nearby village. There Iliana basically becomes the weird yet charismatic farmhand to one of the Hylians that take her in, and she gets proper clothes and learns how to shoot a bow. One day, when sent off on a hunting mission, she gets lost (Iliana is, like, really bad with directions. It’s chaotically bad) and she winds up in a monster camp. She takes down quite a few of them, before getting chased and falling in the nearby stream. Again. Poor girl can’t swim.
So she clings to a rock and Link shows up just in time to stop the last few remaining monsters from killing her, and she ends up following him around because... well, she doesn’t know the way back to the village and hey! She has a bow! She can shoot things! She can be helpful... kind of.
But she does end up being really helpful and they form a very sibling-like dynamic where they’re constantly bickering yet always protecting one another. Link in the form of sassy eyerolls and faces and snappy gestures, and Iliana just being herself, lol. She actually ends up being the better archer out of the two of them, which she refuses to admit to, despite Link stating so several times to Sidon and even Maiju.
(In this, he doesn’t really like to talk because he finds it overwhelming and too noisy at times, so he prefers sign language. Maiju learned sign language back in Gerudo, and Iliana only knows a little bit from her time in Hateno so she’s mostly learning from sheer experience after she starts traveling with Link.)
SIDON.
You know damn well she was doomed the second he showed up on that bridge with that dramatic entrance. Even Link gets flustered by the Himbo prince. After Sidon introduces himself, Iliana and Link just kinda look at each other and then back up at the ten foot tall shark prince like O///O.
When facing Ruta, I sort of imagine Link and Iliana just arguing with Sidon standing there in much confusion like. Just,
Link: You get on his back. I’ll stop any attacks from behind.
Iliana: Wait, what? No! I can’t swim!
Link: You’re the better archer.
Iliana: I am not the better archer! You’re the chosen one here! I’m the support! Besides, you have the Zora armor! I’m not getting on the prince’s back!
Link: You are the better archer. And he’ll keep you safe, while I keep him safe. You’ll be fine.
Sidon: ...I am not entirely sure what the problem is here, but I can assure you that I will not allow any harm to befall you. Should you fall, I will simply catch you and bring you back up to the surface. If need be, I can carry you up Ruta’s falls with you on my back.
Link:
Iliana:
Link: See? Get on his back!
Iliana: If I die, I’m coming back to haunt you. And if princey here gets wounded because of my incompetence, I’m going to be punching you in the face. Afterwards, I’m gonna need you to punch me in the face for listening to either of you!
Link: Is that a threat or a promise?
Iliana: YES!
Later, fighting Waterblight Ganon-
Iliana, hiding in the back shooting arrows at the phantom panicking: You got this Link!
Link, letting out enraged panicked noises as he swings left-and-right at the phantom:
Iliana: Oh frick-!
Link, running straight towards her as Waterblight Ganon lunges, the blond freaking out: ...!
Ganon proceeds to whack them both and send them flying.
They’re just. They’re just a chaotic dumbass duo.
Zelda wonders how they manage to get anything done and Sidon is just, “Wow! You guys are incredible! Amazing! have I mentioned how amazing you are and how extremely grateful I am!? Because you are! And I am! You’re my most treasured friends of all time!”
And then Mipha’s spirit appears, and Iliana and Link realize they both really have a thing for shark royalty.

Just thought since I've been rotating a few specific characters in my brain as of late
What would they think of each other?
Evilicus, Nan, Maiju.. How would any of their interaction go?
I feel like Nan would probably just invite the other two for coffee or something. Maiju is perfectly content and doesn't say anything unless spoken to. Evilicus isn't saying much out of shyness and their poor ability to navigate very normal social situations but Nan would probably help put them at ease. Maiju would take away some of that ease as Evie wonders what her deal is, maybe even wondering if she'd be a threat. She seems so serious.
Actually I once considered making Maiju a half orc (half dwarf), that's at least the vibe I get from her design. However I.. Personally get off vibes from half orc characters and thus don't feel like I'd wanna make one. I'm not saying it's inherently a bad thing or whatever but (Long thoughts Below)
I probably don't need to get in depth about the slightly troubling coding that "Evil" fantasy races have in fiction. Yall get what I mean right? It's an automatic red flag to me when some Kind or species is labeled to be inherently more morally dubious or greedy or whatever bad traits, I think most people understand this.
Look, I get that orcs were originally made to be a "Bad guy" race in fantasy or Dnd, whatever. And I don't like that. I'm glad people have tried to reinvent this in the recent years but I feel like there's still an underlying attitude of having orcs be more crude and.... "ugly"
Personally I've always been a lover and defender of all things demonized and deemed "Too Ugly", for example I love bugs and spiders and leeches and maggots and,,, though there has been an attitude shift, it's still really obvious that most people prefer to use the.. Ykno. Conventionally attractive fantasy races like tieflings and elves. Even dwarves, which have been popularly regarded as more crude, have been gaining some popularity in being taken seriously and not reduced to boring stereotypes. But I don't see much of the same for orcs. I get why that is but also, in my very subjective personal opinion fukc your life if you hate on ugly creatures. Fuck your life if you frame ugliness as inherently evil in media and thus reinforce harmful ideologies about appearance. Fuck your life if you make some creature purposefully ugly in order to make them more unlikable and point and laugh at it through your story's lense.
So, half orcs..?
To me, when I see people make half orc characters (whether that be split with elves, humans, tieflings, dragonborn, whatever), I can't help but feel.. Nmmh..
I get the feeling that whether intentionally or not, half orcs are an attempt to get some conventionally attractive traits typically found in orcs (big or muscular physique, strong facial features), while avoiding the ones they deem too ugly to draw or enjoy (weird noses, tusks, square heads ect). Yget me? I know this is probably just a personal thing of mine but that's really how it feels when I only ever see orc characters when they're crossed with something - anything else.
To me, that still feels like holding up the idea - at least partially, that some race is more crude, ugly and undesirable by itself, so to enjoy it, you need to frame it from a more desirable angle, I guess.
So while, for this oc I think a dwarf/orc combo would be very charming, my personal feelings over the matter just outweigh that. I wanna call Maiju an orc with my whole chest. Go orcs
