CDCB- Hey...this is my serious fic! (I bet you didn't see that coming). It's about a girl who is Zelda's cousin...Yeah... I just really liked the Sheikah in OoT and the Twili in TP so this is what I wrote.
Prologue
Hyrule, our land, is filled with the darkest secrets. Almost anyone can make a difference, even the most unlikely hero. By tradition, we are usually saved by a hero in green, but that is not always the case. Sometimes, the greatest heroes aren't in the limelight. Sometimes the misfit wins and sometimes evil prevails. These are the stories rarely told.
My name is Daphene. I wouldn't be surprised if you have never heard of me. My soul has been trapped behind the thick block walls of the castle for nearly my whole life. I have always been a citizen of our dear Hyrule, but have been hidden and forgotten, just like a shadow. My cousin, however, is surely known. Worshipped by the Hylians and blessed by the Gods, she never had to lift a finger. She is without a doubt the prettiest girl in Hyrule, standing with such grace, even a cat, one of our realms most graceful creatures would be put to shame. With one look at her, the most beautiful girls in our land fell self-conscious and as hash to look at as a hag. When you are around a beautiful person like that you are never noticed and, you get used to it.
I have spent the last several years in a deep depression. I'm not pretty. Not even a little bit. My eyes had to be a deep emerald in a trapped in a deep almond prison. Zelda was blessed with large open blue eyes that all of Hyrule has come to love. We do share the same pale, almost translucent skin, but that is the least beautiful part of her look and the best of mine. It makes her stand out and helps me to hide. Both of our cheek bones are quite high and both of us our blonde. My hair is almost white and straight as a pin while hers is sandy blonde and thick and wavy. Her hair is grown down to her waist and all the same length, but I have bangs that go straight across my head. My dear cousin has a curvy body but mine is thin and frail. No matter how hard I try, I will never be a symbol of beauty.
Because of my faults, I have grown to be kind of shy. An example would be my fear of my mirror. All I can see is the girl whom was forgotten. It's enough to make anyone depressed. I have to tell my self Zelda is the princess, not you. Zelda was my best friend through my childhood and I would never wish bad things to her. Jealousy really is a green eyed monster. The two of us were inseparable almost my whole life. It's funny how such a young boy in green could break it all apart...
CDCB- Yeah, I know this was really short, but I assure you the rest is better. R&R! Tell me if I should continue...
