Kaolyn
(a.k.a. Kao-kao, Lightning's Shadow)
I am a daughter of the sands. I fear no beast nor man that may slay a beast. I am a child of the sun. My light drives evil from the darkest nights.A Gerudo Warrior from the Ser'qar Tribe, Kaolyn serves under the command of the Dera'za for Zaiem Pytra ul-Kemm. As such, she is entrusted with duties relevant to the protection of the entirety of the Gerudo. A skilled spearwoman, Kaolyn has driven many threats away from the borderlands of the Desert, protecting both her people and the greater lands of Hyrule, despite her young age.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Exceptionally fit with a lean, muscular look that disguises her power and agility.
Facial Features
Like many Gerudo, Kaolyn's face posses high, angular features: A fierce look for any warrior. This is nicely offset by her more rounded, hazel eyes and energetic smile. Only when truly angry does her counternance become the roiling storm of emotions and fury that mark the Gerudo as violent warriors.
Identifying Characteristics
Triple helix piercing of turquoise rings on her left ear.
Right hand high nostril piercing of yellow garnet, signifying her position under the Dera'za.
An Hajar ul-Keem Tattoo of a wolf on her upper left arm, as well as the Mark of Deva'neen across her upper back.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Education
Like all Gerudo, Kaolyn's education under the Rov'aim was strenuous, but she excelled in combat under the tutelage of Mu'laim Dalia. Her natural skill with the spear was above reproach. While she did struggle during her Ku'ghaja, she was selected by the Seq'qar Dera-du to become a trainee of the tribes warriors.
Mental Trauma
Her only maternal figures are her tribes Rov'aim and Lukanu. This has led the Young Vai to feel lost in a world that puts heavy emphasis on the relationship between mother and daughter.

Ooh, this is a really nicely written article! I have a question. Are you going to write a story based on this world, or are you going to be telling the story through worldbuilding? :D
I'd like to do a full story, but I think in the end this will be a story through Worldbuilding. Especially since Link and Zelda's stories are easier to tell this way.
That's definitely fair! The games' timelines are quite confusing, if I can recall correctly. Either way, I'm excited to read what you put out in this world! :)
