FAKE PLASTIC TREES

"To get rid of itself, it wears her out."
Title comes from a song by Radiohead. Super Smash Bros. series is property of Nintendo and co.
There's a face in the mirror that looks just like hers, but she can't be sure that it's what she looks like anymore - reflection be damned. She's a tall, regal, well-to-do Princess who is the object of many adoring eyes, and her face reflects that.
But the face in the mirror? With those strong, smoldering eyes that captured an endless slew of lovers with a simple breath; hair strewn about wildly because imperfection is perfection; and a confident (really) smile to those lips kissed by many? "Why don't you?" those lips mouth, and Zelda knows they're daring her to live life the way she wants.
"It's not that simple," she groans, pressing her forehead to the vanity mirror, and the cooling touch of Sheik is comforting. "There's...too many people to think about. I have to be Someone to them."
A sigh comes from her reflection, and she coos, "I know, I know, I know." She knows; and that's what makes it all the more frustrating.
