Okay, there's no 'chapter' this time. . . this is all author's notes. . .
enjoy
I forgot to tell you all what Ryu looked like! ^-^; Well, here it is: tall, long-limbed, and a bandanna tied around her head (you might say ninja- style, though she's no ninja.) Her blonde bangs would fall in her face past her chin if she didn't wear the bandanna, she doesn't like getting her hair cut. The rest of her hair falls to different lengths. It's kind of layered, in the back it falls to her shoulder blades and to the sides it angles shorter. It's not neatly cut at all, though. She wears a short-sleeved jacket over a shirt with sleeves to her knuckles, and tight leather gloves, no fingers on them. (hey, I just found out Link wears 'em too! Go figure. . . ) She wears a single obvious dagger at her belt and tight riding pants. (Hey, you'd wear tight pants too if you rode bareback all the time, pity the horse!) She also constantly wears riding boots. (I have no idea how she can walk and run, even though they aren't knee-high boots.)
Okay. . . I have no idea how to explain this part unless you've seen the character design part of the 3rd disk in the Fellowship of the Ring. In Legolas's section, it has the back view of his quiver of arrows. There is this wooden, I suppose, frame that holds his White Knives. You would think the swords were just slung across his back, but they are held in place. Uh. . . well, Ryu has about the same thing, except it's just one sword. The leather straps of her quiver (arrows) criss-cross her chest, concealing other various weapons under her jacket. Inside her quiver she has a shortbow and, obviously, her arrows. Her artillery may change around, I don't know yet.
On her arm up near her shoulder I think she has a tattoo, I'm not quite sure yet, but it may show up later. You can guess if you like, 'cause I'm not telling! Both of her ears have 3 piercings, each have one near the top, the other two are on the earlobes. She used to be not so. . . uh. . . not- girly. . . before she disappeared. I'm not sure yet what age she is, I'm thinking she's 18 or something but I don't know if I can write at that level. Uh. . . I think she's just whatever age Link is gonna be.
Well I need you nice people out there to review and tell me if I need to fix something! I want to know what you think of her appearance as a Hylian! (she's not supposed to look totally Hylian)
I know some of you are wondering about some of the relationships in this story. . . well, I'm not exactly sure yet about the Gannondorf thing yet, but I just needed a quick excuse.
The thing of it is for Ryu is that she was a very nice, respectable person before her disappearance. Now, she's running into all these people that know her as the nice Ryu, not this cold assassin. And it's all throwing her off her cold attitude and mile-high self-guard system. (Trust no one, tell no one anything truthful about yourself.) She's trying to be two people at the same time to make sure she isn't found out, nice Ryu so no one suspects anything, and the cold-hearted one so she doesn't let anything slip. She didn't expect to run into so much trouble, she thought she'd only have to run an arrow through Link and be done with it, instead she runs into all these people. It's a bit overwhelming for her.
Oh, yeah, I have a bit of a choice for you all. This could decide where the story goes. I decided Link is outnumbered to the girls, so I created a guy OC. I'm thinking of naming him Jenalle, (jen-all) but it doesn't sound quite right for him. I have several drawings going of him, and by this one study I drew of his face, I quickly found out I don't ever want to get caught in one of his glares. *shivers* God, I need a website. . . oh, well. Also, do you guys want any pairings? I was thinking Ryu/Je but I don't want to exclude Link. . . Kai's a young teenager, so she stays single. . . well, I'm open to suggestions/votes on the matters at hand. Also, I'm open to suggestions on the plot.
I do have another chapter or two written, I think, but I thought I would post this first. Well. . . like I said, review and/or vote please! Ja'ne!
