[IC Information]
Character Name: Saria
Series: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Gender: Female
Age: 10

Species: Kokiri. They're...actually pretty mini-sized. Kokiri are a child-like race that live in the eastern forest of Hyrule. They never age, are highly in tune with nature, and all have a fairy companion that protects them. They cannot leave the forest lest they fall victim to the dangers outside.

Appearance: Small, pale and skinny, about 4'5" tall and average weight for a healthy ten-year-old girl. She has big blue eyes and short green hair that curls around her long, pointed ears, with thick bangs. Her clothes are all green and look like they might have been woven from sylvan materials; a sweater of two different shades of green, green shorts, a green headband in her hair, and thin green boots.

Personality: Saria is a sweet and energetic child. She enjoys spending time outside, climbing trees, and playing music. While she is a little shy, she is a good listener and enjoys making friends. She is pretty unanimously considered easy to get along with by people who know her and seems to have a knack for saying just the right thing to put a smile on your face, through her innocence and kindness if nothing else. She is very close with nature, especially sylvan life, and when she is in her element, she is a wealth of knowledge and there is even sometimes an air of wisdom about her. However even in the forest there are dangers she doesn't always have the courage to face, and outside of it she is extremely vulnerable and her bewilderment at the outside world is jarringly clear. But all the same, Saria looks at the world with a childlike wonder and curiosity and takes enjoyment in the little things it has to offer.

History: Saria, like all of her Kokiri brethren, has spent her entire life in Kokiri Forest, living a peaceful life under the protective watch of their creator, the Great Deku Tree. She grew up alongside a boy named Link who was brought to the forest by his dying mother. While Link was generally mocked and shunned by most of the others - the boys, primarily, lead by the Kokiri leader Mido - because he didn't have a fairy partner like the others, Saria stood up for him and became his best friend.

Saria was well liked in the forest, best known for her kindness, her skill on the ocarina that she whittled herself, and being one of the only Kokiri to regularly go into the Lost Woods. This thicker, deeper region of the forest earned its name as all who entered it ultimately became lost, guiding Kokirifolk only back to their home or cursing outsiders if the territorial creatures within didn't kill them first. Unbeknownst to them however, by some stroke of luck at a young age, Saria successfully navigated the woods by herself and found herself in a beautiful grove swarming with sprites and spirits, overlooked by an ancient, unreachable temple. In this meadow, Saria found that she could hear ancient spirits and could converse with them when she played the ocarina. It became her secret place for when she wished to be alone.

One day, shortly after the sudden death of the Great Deku Tree, Link left Kokiri Forest as Mido accused him of the tree's death. He said goodbye only to Saria as she caught him on the bridge at the edge of the village. She gave him her ocarina as a memento, asking that he come back to visit sometime. Visit he did some time later, following the music she played on a new ocarina and finding her in the Sacred Meadow, her secret place. Seeing him again, Saria felt that someday this place was going to be very important for both of them, and she taught him her song, which somehow created a magical link between them with which they could communicate over long distances. It has been some time now since they have spoken, but she continues to play her song in the meadow with the hopes of hearing his voice again.

Extra notes: Saria has a little fairy friend who follows her around. It doesn't do anything in canon except fly around her head and maybe occasionally say something (in the manga, anyway). It'll probably be pretty forgettable on the Satellite.

Cambot post sample: [Deck 5, Cambot appears to be sitting among some shrubberies. There is a very faint sound of music in the distance. Cambot investigates, staying low to the ground and creeping through the underbrush like a Discovery Channel show depicting the point of view of a predator stalking its prey.

The music seems to be getting closer. Soon Cambot comes across a clearing, surrounded by trees. In the center of the clearing is a fallen hollow log, and there is a little girl sitting on it, playing an ocarina. She seems totally engrossed in the music, swaying back and forth as she doesn't seem to notice Cambot getting closer and in plain sight.

Apparently Cambot decided that the music is really catchy and starts playing some cheery accompaniment to it. This gets the girl's attention; at the sudden music she lets out a yelp and scrabbles behind the log. Cambot immediately stops the music, shrinking back into the tall grass behind it a little bit, apparently feeling bad that it startled her. After a minute or so, she starts to poke her head out from behind the log and she and Cambot just end up staring at each other; she looks totally confused and unsure how to react.]

Third-person log 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. There was a long pause before either of them spoke.

"Saria..." Link muttered sadly, stepping closer, "I'm sorry. There's something I have to do. The Great Deku Tree--"

"It's alright." Saria raised her hand to cut him off, shaking her head, "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. A small, contemplative smile struggled to stay on her face.

"But that's ok. Because we'll be friends forever, right?"

"Right." was Link's quiet reply. Slowly Saria 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 the gift in his hand and his eyes widened.

"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, and 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.

It was only after he had disappeared into the darkness of the tunnel and his footsteps faded to silence that Saria fell to her knees, clutching the rope supporting the bridge and letting the tears fall.

Riff sample: Irene signaled for a latte with one hand and fingered her long blonde hair with the other twisting it again and again until it spiraled like a golden staircase leading to the top of her head.

*singing* And she's buying a stairway to dandruff~

When the pain started, she wept,

You really shouldn't twist your hair that tightly...

expostulating "I don't know what I'll do without Henry. He was the center of the world."

"Even the center of the world has to die sometime." Margaret sat sideways in her chair, her breasts a pair of protruding Alps.

Wh-why would you even describe that?!

"He didn't seem like the kind of man who died," Irene said.

*As Irene* I mean he was always joking about being a Time Lord...

"Sometimes, when were in bed, making love, at the very edge of the surf where the waves washed over us again and again,

...Should I be listening to this?

I looked at his face and saw something there that not even all the forces of erosion could ever wash away. He was a determined man, and in his position he had to be: and I knew that, too, looking up at him wanting only for him to be there forever. He was old, you know: he was around in the seventies and everything. But there was an agelessness to him, a beautiful eternal foreverness

I don't think that's a word...

that shone from him like the light from a lighthouse, or like the sunlight from the sun. He made me feel like a child again,

Are you sure you want that from someone so old?

and I wanted to stay in bed with him, feeling him warm my world, cooled by the waves that washed over us, until the stars went out. That what I expected anyway. That's what he promised. And now he's dead. His heart's stopped."

And his brain is cold.

What do you think, sirs? I think he tried to kill me with a forklift.
