Quick Background on my OC: Lynna is Link's sister, older by about a year and a half. She was raised by the Zoras since the age of three, when she and Link's mother was fleeing the war that took place before the events of Ocarina of Time (assuming, of course, that I'm remembering what the Deku Sprout said accurately. If I'm completely wrong, oh, well...). The Zoras decided to take care of Lynna, then sent baby Link and their mother on their merry way (How nice of them...). Her only connection to her brother is a pendant that she and Link both have one of. They met briefly when Link saved Ruto from Jabu-Jabu.
This takes place about four years after Link first removes the Master Sword.

Chapter 1 - Just For Luck
Drip…drip…
Lynna slowly opened her eyes. She was a young girl of about fifteen years. The lanterns had not yet been lit, and the only light in the stone chamber came from the water. Everything was tinted blue, except for her eyes. Her eyes did not need the reflections of the water to be a soft blue.
Drip…drip…
She sat up slowly, her blankets pooling around her waist. She brushed her blonde hair out of her face, only to have it curl rebelliously at her pointed ears. She swung her legs off of the bed and sat on the edge, staring contemplatively at her knees. "I'll do fine today," she whispered to no one in particular.
Drip…drip… replied the stone walls.
She stood up, taking something from her small side-table. She fastened the necklace about her neck with a flourish, and it hung elegantly against her navy blue short-sleeved top. She lightly touched the necklace, her slender fingers tracing the curves of the deep blue, tear-shaped pendant. Her thoughts lingered for a few moments on the pendant's counterpart, which hung around the neck of the boy that had come to Zora's Domain five years ago; the boy that had saved Princess Ruto from the belly of their deity; the boy who was her brother.
Drip…drip…
She vaguely wondered, and not for the first time, what had become of him. They had not talked since he left her adopted home. He had left in such a rush, she didn't even have the chance to say good-bye.
Lynna went to a small dresser that was next to the entrance to her room. She opened a drawer and took out an old, tattered Zora tunic, hurriedly putting it on over her top. The sleeves had long since been ripped off in some way or another, and the bottom edge was torn and frayed. Next, she grabbed her boots from beside the dresser and put them on. They were covered from the ankle down in a mysterious, rubber-like blue substance that stretched over the toes of the boots to make flippers, when she wished it. The same material encircled her wrists. She tied back a portion of her shoulder-length hair back in a small, loose ponytail as she walked over to the waterway that led to the main chamber of Zora's Domain.
"I might as well start practicing for the test before everyone else is up…"
Drip…drip…
She gave a start. "Oh! I almost forgot!" she scolded herself. She strode over to the crack in the ceiling that was dripping. She stood under it and closed her eyes, positioning her head so that a drop fell on each eye. A shudder traveled down her spine. She whispered gratefully, "Hopefully I won't need your luck today, but it doesn't hurt to be safe…"
She jogged over to the waterway and dove in head-first.
