Character Name;Saria (yes, that's my character and my nickname XD)
Series/Fandom; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Age; 13, but appears 10
Gender; female
Species; Kokiri
Sexuality; straight
Appearance; 4'5" tall, 78 lbs. Overall Saria has the appearance of a ten-year-old girl. She has short, thick, light green hair that curls around her pointed ears, and big, bright blue eyes. Her her is always kept neat, always brushed and put in a headband, and her bangs are full and falling into her face. Always seen in green clothing; green knee-high boots, green headband, green sweater, green shorts. Accompanied by a small blue fairy, who only looks like a ball of light with wings, and often hides in her hair.
Personality; Very caring and sweet, but also a little naiive. She knows the law of the forest like she knows the back of her hand, but outside of the trees she is exposed and lost. But in the end she has a good soul; she always wants people she cares about to be safe and happy, and while she is often terrified she will be the hero if it falls to her to be the one. She loves music and dance, and can be generalised as a Fae stereotype; light-hearted, innocent, playful, and a little mischievous.
Abilities/Strengths; Musically inclined, Saria is skilled at playing music, especially the ocarina. When she plays her ocarina, she can hear the voices of spirits that dwell in the forest. She has a strong sense of right and wrong, and can usually tell when someone has good intentions or not. She is the future Sage of the Forest, a guardian of the earth who will someday have a hand in saving the world from evil. She doesn't know it yet, but sometimes
Weaknesses; She is very sheltered from the world outside her forest, and is eternally young due to her race unable to grow up, thus does not understand a lot of things, about the world and about people. While she is willing to be the hero, she is still very much a coward and inexperienced at facing demons, or even fighting.
Notable Possessions; A hand-carved wooden ocarina, a wooden slingshot, and an assortment of small seeds and nuts (ammunition for the slingshot)
History; Saria was born from the Great Deku Tree in Kokiri Forest, and grew up alongside Link, a boy left in the Deku Tree's care when his mother died. She grew to be one of the more popular girls in the village, adored by everyone, especially the leader of the tribe, Mido. She prefered to keep her distance from Mido, however, and became best friends with Link, who was shunned by most of the other Kokiri because he didn't have a guardian fairy.
When she was about eight years old, she ventured into the Lost Woods, the thickest part of the forest that the Deku Tree forbade any of the children enter. To her surprise however, she didn't get lost in those woods. She navigated them with no effort on her part, and at the end of a great sylvan maze, she found a clearing. In this clearing, there was nothing but a tall, withering tree, a stone wall with a single, blocked entrance that seemed to call to the little girl, and the air glittered with fireflies, fairies, and will-o-the-wisps. Saria found the place absolutely beautiful, so she stayed a while and played her ocarina, and to her surprise she found that she could hear voices when she played. They called themselves the spirits of the forest, and they spoke with her about everything. She found this place to be called the Sacred Meadow, and she made it her own secret hideaway, where she hid daily, never telling anyone, not even Link.
But then one day, a few years later, the Great Deku Tree suddenly died. Link was immedietely blamed, even as he left the forest, saying that there was something he had to do now. Saria was the only one who said goodbye to him, and she gave him her ocarina to remember him by. Life continued in the forest, and Saria continued to stay in the Sacred Meadow, making a new ocarina for herself and playing it. Link eventually returned to the forest, and he found his way to her meadow too. As she saw him, as he discovered her secret, she had a strange feeling looking at him. A feeling that someday, somehow, the very place she was sitting was going to be important to them both. She then taught him the only other secret she kept from him; her song. With it, they developed a link through which they could talk to each other, even when he was far away. He left again not long after, but they never felt apart now that they could speak to each other.
It has now been three years since that day. The link between Saria and Link has long been silent, and with the guardian spirit, the Great Deku Tree, dead, Kokiri Forest is a home for horrible monsters that dared not enter his domain in his lifetime. The Kokiri people live every day in fear, and Mido continues to insist that Link was the murderer of the Great Deku Tree. Only Saria defends him, but in the end is helpless to help the forest herself. But as each day passes, the strange allure from the temple in Saria's meadow grows stronger.
Samples
Third-person sample; "Oh...you're leaving...?"
Saria stared at the back of her friend's head as he ran past her on the shakey rope bridge that lead from the forest to the outside world. He stopped when he heard her voice, turning to look into her sad eyes.
"Saria..." Link muttered sadly, stepping closer, "I'm sorry. There's something I have to do. The Great Deku Tree--"
"It's alright." Saria shook her head sadly, "I always knew you would leave someday. You're different from the rest of us."
She closed her eyes, hugging the wooden object in her hands to her chest.
"But that's ok. Because we'll be friends forever, right?"
"Right." was Link's quiet reply. The green-haired girl's eyes were wet, tears creeping into them. Slowly she extended her hands, taking his own and closing his fingers around the object she held.
"I want you to have this...so you'll always have something to remember me by. Please take good care of it."
Link looked at his hand, fingers clutching the wooden item that was placed into it.
"Your ocarina...? S-Saria, I couldn't--"
"It's alright. I can always make another one." she didn't meet his eyes for a moment, forcing back tears before she could look up and give him a sad smile, "I hope that you'll think of me and come back to the forest someday."
She stepped closer, drawing him into a tight hug, which he returned without hesitation. But the moment was brief, for he slowly let go, backing away slowly with a sad stare, first at her, then at the hollow tree that crowned the entrance of the forest. Then he turned and ran for the exit, not looking back.
Once he had disappeared from sight, Saria fell to her knees, clutching the rope supporting the bridge and letting the tears fall.
First-person sample; Mido still insists that this is all Link's fault. After thirteen years...I just can't understand it! Just because he was different. What's so wrong with being different?
He didn't know Link like I did. He would never do something like this. He loved this forest too.
...I wish I knew what happened to him. We used to talk all the time. But then he just...disappeared. He couldn't be.....could he...?
......I can't think about that. He wouldn't want me worrying about him when the others need help. But...what can I do?

Another thought about life
Date: 2008-09-07 12:02 pm (UTC).
Within your consciousness, do you allow for the fact that all things – without exception – are connected? Even if your interests don’t lie here, surely you must have given a thought about this at some time or other? Through quantum theory discoveries, science is already proving that we are closer to one another than we could have ever imagined. Because of this, and for whatever other reasons that lie beyond my reasoning ability, I have just completed a novel that I co-authored with another.
.
Although this book is fiction, it is based around facts that have been hidden from us for thousands of years. The “Interconnectedness of multi-dimensional consciousness” is a phrase that is used in the novel. It will soon be published and in the meantime, it is the responsibility of my writing partner and me to market it in the best way possible.
.
Please have a look in at The Meadow home page (http://themeadownovel.wordpress.com/) and discover what truly happens to us as we interact on what we believe to be the physical aspects which facilitate electronic communication. Perhaps it is now time to let our minds leave the conditioned state that only allows our five senses to feed us, and see into the real world which is totally within your power.
.
“The Meadow” is a story about undying and enduring love. It covers the many lives of two souls as they evolve through time, from antiquity to the twenty first century, and always suffering the polarities that a physical environment can throw upon us. The tale demonstrates the connectedness of everything and brings with it a colourful story which involves characters and memories that will remain with you once you have finished reading the book.
.
If you like what you find, please bookmark it for future reference and wait for the opportunity when you can read this great epic. Also please pass on this link to your friends and fellow bloggers who you would consider to be potential readers. Thank you for reading this and apologies for any offence that can have occurred.
