#wis phantom

upper left quadrant (shoots the dog, wants to):

Echo: In the past, Echo probably would’ve fallen somewhere farther right, but after her 100+ year nap, she’s fallen into a pattern of self-destructive rage. She desperately wants to shoot the dog. The only thing holding her back is her love for Dawn and Hyrule, and the faded memories she has of home.

Artemis: Like Dusk, is bound by duty and would and has sacrifice much for her people. She’s also balanced in a precarious political state in a power-hungry court. Has a lot pent up rage, but ultimately wants to do good.

lower left quadrant (shoots the dog, does not want to)

Dusk: Bound by duty and her love for her Kingdom. If it’s the safest and most logical choice. She really does not want to shoot the dog, but she’s already given so much for her people. What’s one thing more?

Lullaby: It does not matter if she wants to shoot the dog. If shooting the dog will give her information she needs or further her goals, she will likely shoot the dog. The only reason she’s not fully there is because, like Echo, others people tend to influence her actions. More than she thinks they do.

upper right quadrant (wants to shoot the dog, doesn’t)

Dot: She’s sweet on the surface but has a vindictive eldritch side. On some level, she’s the executioner and has that sense of justice in her Wisdom. Ultimately doesn’t shoot the dog though because she chooses joy. (Also, wait long enough and the dog will eventually die on its own. Patience is key :))

Tetra: Lowkey curious about what would happen if she would shoot the dog. But I feel she’s not the type for needless violence? Theft and kidnapping, and if a person deserves it, sure, but living on such open, dangerous waters has cemented that she is not judge, jury, and executioner. The sea will get them first. Besides, killing for sport is likely to cause a lot more problems than it’s worth.

lower right quadrant (would not shoot the dog, doesn’t want to)

Flora: She’s already suffered through so much violence: her father, her friends, Link. At one point in her life, she would have shot the dog out of reluctant obligation. As it stands now, she chooses happiness.

Fable: Does not want to shoot the dog because she’s lowkey squeamish. While she is great at navigating through debates and court, and that requires some sort of cunning on her part, she also holds great empathy and understanding. She broke through to Hilda with her words alone. That’s enough.

Dawn: It’s Dawn. Does not want to inflict suffering, would not commit violence.

Phantom: While she’s strong and a bit of a freak (sorry Phantom you ain’t escaping the allegations), she falls more into a protector role. Would kill the dog if she has to, but if there is choice not to, she will try and dazzle. Also similar to Fable she’s a bit squeamish lol.

middle of the chart

— Tetra can lift Wind. Pirates are strong.

— Lullaby is definitely a stealth type, but she’s deceptively strong as well. She could probably lift Time if he wasn’t wearing his armor from the war. But that stuff is heavy. With it, she probably can’t.

— Same for Artemis, except it’s a bit easier.

— Echo is physically the strongest Zelda. She can pick up and lift rocks in her home game (which takes Legend an item to achieve), and can move boulders of solid rock that are as tall as she is. If Silent was around, she could lift and throw him. (Also, shoutout to this cute and relevant artwork and subsequent analysis of why Echo is terrifyingly strong by @mobgabriel! Exactly what I was thinking!)
