A Few Thoughts

The Gerudo don't know exactly what happened during the first Calamity, but they know more than they let on. It is no coincidence that we only hear Urbosa mention that she knew Calamity Ganon's origins as Gerudo when she's alone on a mountain. Most Gerudo are aware, to some degree, that it was one of their own that became the Calamity, and it's a source of cultural shame, almost an entire taboo. Certainly you'd be hard-pressed to find a modern Gerudo who would own up to it to an outsider, even those that do worship Ganondorf as the eighth heroine of power. It's long been considered a point of contention, internal politics at their finest, and something that you keep far, far, far away from anybody who would consider you an ally or begin war proceedings depending on how they felt that morning. 

However, this ancestral memory, aided by half-histories and half-myths, was part of the reason the nation was so quick to join Hyrule in its preparations against the second calamity. Many might have chalked it up to Urbosa's close relationship with the late queen and the noble family's general trend in the last several hundred years towards an alliance with Hyrule and, though that certainly helped, the common vai would not have been nearly as supportive were it not for the need to take their past head-on and hopefully put an end to their ancestor's recurring tirades.

@hyruleir has entered. ❛  i wanted not to look a fool !  ❜

becoming elizabeth sentence prompts.

To be the perfect being, to not have a single flaw. This was the standard they were set as leaders. No choices could be wrong, only honor and pride for your people. Yet, they couldn't be any further away from that goal, the Hylian especially. Mipha's role in this is but a single droplet across a vast sea. Zelda's tense shoulders and bright green eyes, they show that she knows this. Who is the Zora to give advice on how to reach holy powers?

Only that, Mipha isn't imploring as Princess of the Zora. Zelda has had enough people telling her how to reach her goal. So, Mipha doesn't draw back, "If you were a fool, we would have been swallowed whole by this evil already."

She places a hand upon the other's shoulder, squeezing, "My Princess, you're no holy being at this moment. I've said this to Link many times over; I cannot heal exhaustion."

“That was brave.”

Bravery

An unruly army helped nobody, least of all its soldiers. Though the battle was rough, and casualties much higher than anybody would have liked, a mutiny would only increase the death toll. Anticipating unrest from the Hylian front, Urbosa had gotten ahead of the problem with a speech - half threat, half rallying cry. Luckily, the food was good enough, the energy right, or something else was going for her that allowed her to send them off with a roaring cheer and plans to travel the next day. The blood moon rose every night for now, and until they could approach the castle, it would be a bloody fight every day.

As Urbosa returned to the captain's quarters, she willed her own muscles to stop shuddering. She'd called on her power more in the last week than she had in the rest of her life, and it was taking its toll. She was not immune to the effects of electricity, she could only redirect it - and inevitably, some of it bound up her veins and made her seize up. Her age wasn't helping the matter, as she was reminded more and more often that she was approaching a traditional retirement age, and she longed for nothing more than this nightmare to be over.

And yet, seeing Zelda, cold, but alight with her own spiritual power and a confidence she'd never seen cross the young woman's face, she knew it would not be too much longer. She replied with an exhausted smile, pushing a few damp strands of hair from her eyes.

"We do what we must."

in truth,  the young rito hadn’t been expecting any visitors.   even with the threat that once plagued their land finally being slain,  tulin didn’t dare to simply sit idly by,  not with his new duties to uphold.   he was a sage now,  that was a super important deal !   there was a huge responsibility that now rested upon his shoulders,  one that the young eagle was more than glad to carry;  only increasing his training tenfold,  if not only to make his father proud,  but to make the entire village know he was reliable and not just some kid anymore.

gust of wind lifted the boy upwards,  laughing to himself as he descended and talons attached to the ground once more.  but head was quick to lift upon nearby footsteps reaching his ears,  crooning sideways in curiosity as he looked on.   but when golden blonde hair entered his visage,  excitement was quick to fill his veins.

“princess !   oh wow,  i wasn’t expecting to see you here !”   voice chirps up,  wings lifting the rito into the air and carrying him forth until he met her halfway,  staring back with excitement in his eyes.   “what brings you here ?   aren’t you usually busy with,  i don’t know,  princess things ?”

❝ we are all that’s left, don’t you understand? ❞ for revali.

“i’ve understood,”   said the rito champion softly.   he,  the fierce gale of the rito.   he,  the only one between his people and the beasts slowly overtaking his peoples’ realm.   (he wondered what the hylians,   what the princess,  knew of this.   he wondered if they truly knew what it was like,   to lay wounded among one’s people,   to hear and see the light leave eyes of those depending on you.

he wondered if the princess understood   ---   if she truly understood  ---   so soft and useless.   he could almost empathize with her.   he could almost empathize with the helpless.  almost.

and then,   cold as a zoran winter,   he said,    “i understand,   highness.   but do you?”

He gives her a small nod, and the tiniest of smiles, as he tried to come up with a reply. To play it delicately, and seriously, or to let a bit of the fun peak through. It was a decision he did not take lightly. Despite stories about him true or not, he had a personality.

But as he thought about how he hoped he would be more to her as he was a night. He thought of a response that was better, and at the same time took the focus off of him. Ironic that a hero would not want the spotlight.

“And you have been everything to me.”

“hmph.”  he had been quite willing to try to pretend he hadn’t overheard the king’s storming at his daughter,  but she addressed him and now it was impossible.  the champion would never express it but a twang of pity rose at the sight of her.  that the princess labored relentlessly was clear to his trained eye,  though bafflingly it came to absolutely nothing.  

he thinks she’s neglecting her sacred duty,  r.evali mused in disbelief.  he wondered if the king had seen her the way he and his fellow champions had,  fatigued and miserable and drenched after strenuous hours at the spring of courage.  what does he think he’s accomplishing?  he never cared for the struggles of the talentless after many an hour and broken bone to cultivate his own but  ----   what of those with nothing to show for their resolve?  what of those like her?   “i know you're tired of waiting,  highness,  but  ---  give it more time.” revali settled his wings behind his back and threaded his fingers.  “better sooner than later,  but try not to make it worse for yourself.”

And Yet More Headcanons

In general, Urbosa is more about preserving the way things currently are. Her nation is in one of the best spots it has ever been in, and though she knows society isn't perfect, they have a very low poverty rate, good medical solutions, and barring the calamity, their people are safe from most natural threats.  She does come from a long line of humanists and has occasionally butted heads with the temple over theological disagreements. She fundamentally agrees that voe should be barred from large Gerudo settlements, but she thinks that at the very least the military should be able to make exceptions during times of war, especially with the treaties they have with Hyrule and other neighboring countries. Early in her reign, she also pressed on the temple to allow Hylian vai and Gerudo to have a true wedding ceremony, something that was forbidden before her reign. It's an odd situation, since legally, a Gerudo and Hylian woman were permitted to live in Gerudo Town, raise children, and if the Gerudo passed away before the Hylian, she was legally considered the first of kin, but the religious ceremony involving a deadly mission to prove their partnership was only allowed between Gerudo pairings. Relationships with Hylian voe fared even worse, but public opinion around those were beginning to change in favor of giving Hylian fathers parental rights, should he claim them, and a stake in his wife's estate should she pass away.  Urbosa was successfully able to have a few Gerudo/Hylian vai ceremonies performed, but her attention became too divided after the assassination of Queen Zelda, so that policy change unfortunately fell through and was buried until well after the Calamity was thwarted a century later. She's lucky that she was born into a position of power, so in general she can affect small changes with impunity, and has a fairly large voice on the global scale. With that said, she does try to act on the advice of her council and generally avoids going rogue, since she knows her power can legally be challenged by the populace.

{ x - accepting }

He looked at her, and looked around. While she helped him remember things certainly. She had left the pictures after all, and helped him recover what he had lost. While he had changed during the healing he went through after the one hundred years, obtaining the memories made him feel more of a whole person and less empty. He was still that Link, but time changes everyone. He was now learning a balance much like nature was balanced with the silent and wild aspects of it.

He couldn’t find any inkling of a memory or familiarity with the place, but he hadn’t always been by her side as her appointed knight. “Did you come here when you were little? Or is a different type of familiarity?”

                The senseless wrapping of flowers into a crown with her claws ceases as soon as Zelda’s words register. How those words made the zora’s blood boil without try. IT wasn’t the Hylian heir’s fault, but the one she is to succeed. She wouldn’t dare say it out loud, but Mipha does hold some contempt for His Majesty, Zelda’s father. The lack of self-confidence in someone who is meant to be of Goddess blood… That wasn’t put there by herself. (And Mipha has witnessed the King’s needling and criticisms.)

               The finished flower crown is placed on the Hylian’s head sweetly,  “There is simply no comparison between us, Your Highness, so you mustn’t even try.”

“I don’t need you to protect me.”

Bravery

Urbosa had raised her own daughter long enough to know that Zelda was merely exhausted and frustrated. That didn't mean that her words didn't hurt. Zelda longed for agency in a world that constantly denied it to her, but Urbosa only wanted the best for her. If it was up to her, she'd have allowed Zelda free reign of the entire desert, with an escort at least. That was an excellent way to make sure Rhoam never let her enter the desert again, though.

The chieftain closed her eyes, face falling back into a more peaceful, if disappointed expression. Her lips were drawn tight, but her eyes had a sort of gravity that made her look her age, rather than the seemingly effortless glamor she maintained.

"I know that," she began slowly, a hand pressing against the counter to her side. "You don't really need anybody to protect you, Zelda, but that doesn't mean I won't try. You know why, don't you?"
