Spinny-leapy Four who alas never got past my costume frustrations 😔 and yes he's a lunatic that skates with his hair down and flying everywhere, until he gets his undercut then he does a half-up style 🤣

I still want to see your Four btw 👀 Four is just my blorbo and go-to to draw. My scatty ideas can before before a real designer got hold of him to make his costumes 🤣

EEEEEEEEEE

Again: I am winning life so hard right now thank yoouuuuuu! Figure skaters always have loads of costumes anyways so the more outfits the better!

I love that idea of Four also having feather boots! He also has pegasus boots doesn't he? And the idea of using the minish feathers for his boots just like Ledge is an amazing idea!!! (Calling the brand where they get their skates ROC's is sooooo funny XD Another place for these guys to be supremely awkward with each other). Gold accents 🤝🤝🤝

Undercut four!!!! Oh four would look great with a half-up style.

Also brainwaves ~~~ I had been sketching ideas for figure skating outfits for Twilight (left) and Four (right) as well (don't mind my abysmal handwriting):

I was thinking of a raven for Twilight (fur? -> feathers!) and prince for Four (puffy sleeves!!!)

This whole week my brain has been chanting figure skater au at me and now the olympics have started and I've already written down some random tidbits of lore that somewhat but don't really connect to each other. (The way i wanted to scream when during the class we started to discussing a research question that had to do with ice skating)

Because I am an uncontrollable yapper:

Legend is sponsored by queen Ambi who is an avid supporter of sport and several artistic endeavors. The media speculate that she has beef with Hylia, but nothing concrete has been found

Ralph is Ambi's son and his favorite hobby is pissing Legend off by pretending that Warriors is his favorite skater. In actually he is Legend's #1 supporter but is a huge tsundere about it, has all his skating performances on tape and was the one who pointed his mother's gaze to Legend in the first place. He would actually die before wearing any of Legend's merch though (he has standards!)

Twilight comes from a small town and started pair skating first (sponsored by Midna's parents), but then Midna suddenly pulled out without any explanation and ghosted him. They are reconnecting again, but there is this gap of unspoken hurt between them.

Warriors is sponsored by Cia, who, like in canon, has an unhealthy fixation with him. She hasn't crossed boundaries and keeps to herself, but it still makes Warriors distinctly uncomfortable. On top of that Cia is known to cause problems (attitude problem) and the drama of that occasionally trickled down on him as well. No matter the beef between them, Twilight will forget everything whenever Cia is around and be super protective

Ice skating was just a fun hobby for Sky at first but then he got picked up by Hylia when he was younger. Hylia is a retired elite skater with controversies tied to her. None of them were proven however. Some of the accusers even disappeared from the face of earth. I'm deliberately leaving it vague whether or not she actually did bad stuff or not because I like it when Hylia is shrouded in mystery

Sky is very much thinking of doing pair skating with Sun (the insane daring tricks that are happening there would be right up their ally!)

Silent and Echo on the other hand are more into ice dancing (not that they wouldn't do pair of course, but given that Cadence of Hyrule is their game... I think they prefer this one more)

Flora was pressured into it by her family and because her heart is not in it she is an average skater. She is much happier in the audience than on ice and is an avid Wild fan!

Aryll was the one that got Wind into the sport. Wind first accompanied her to figure skating class try outs but while Aryll ended up concluding that she liked doing just ballet more, Wind actually found out that hey??? I'm actually pretty good at this??? He then proceeded to dominate junior competitions

I'm still shaky on this one, but Wild used to snowboard before suddenly randomly switching over to ice skating. Quite prodigal

Tetra, like Legend, is a gender icon (I almost want to make her the poster girl for the sport too simply because she is awesome AND it would be funny if the top skaters of this generation both throw a middle finger to conforming to gender stereotypes but the other girls also really deserve the spot too hmmm)

Tetra used to be part of a girl's ice hockey team that got unfairly kicked out due to shading things happening in the background. She started figure skating out of spite and liked it enough to stay and dominate the field

Four is a very very good and balanced skater (this is totally not because he never had a growth spurt and thus never had a shaky season whattttt are you talking about???/)
