Hmm What About...if i asked you for some urbosa hcs I have been thinking about her lately
what if…..?!
HM!! this is actually kinda tough! first i think she’d generally be a fan of meat and hearty truffles especially. riffing off of what you mentioned about her being a fan of the royal family, i think she’d have a History with worshipping hylia? like this depends on how you think the queen wouldve felt about hylia + being the supposed reincarnation of hylia but i think either urbosa prayed to her constantly before the queens death (general prayer sayings but also thanking her for the existence of the queen) and after the queens death + seeing how zelda was struggling her prayers urbosas own prayers got more and more angry and frustrated. eventually she only really prayed when zelda was praying herself, but otherwise tried to help zelda and her people as she believed hylia wouldnt. basically “the only way to do something is to do it yourself”. the alternative to that is urbosa not really knowing much about hylia, not praying to her but still celebrating holidays associated with her. she and the queen would share holidays and religious figures with each other, so urbosa more knew of her in passing and a few religious gestures. so when the queen dies she doesnt even Think about hylia or cursing her. when zelda struggles she would either gain a growing negative view of the gestures/prayers/holidays the queen showed her, not really blaming hylia but blaming the traditions themselves and or rhoam. also i think praying is different across races, and instead of silently sitting there i think the gerudo would actively be doing something. its like that one post of how earlier cultures danced and belted to pray (though i should research prayer methods for that. i like to think the gerudo would train/fight during prayers the opponent either being another person if its a shared prayer or it being the god themself, as a statue or a training dummy). so i think urbosa would struggle in praying to hylia the way hylians do. also SOEAKING OF RELIGIONS! i thimk she’d have a talisman of sorts from one of the eight heroines (creating a champion mentions that the seven heroines are worshipped and seen as divine protectors. and i am ignoring totks answer to who the eighth heroine because it is severely stupid to me). though i do feel like the heroines would be more minor compared to naboris theyre still well prayed to.
now off of religions. if the milk bar existed in botw i think she’d be a fan of the possibly alcoholic milk there. loves looking at seas in general, and both hates and loves water areas (i like to think she accidentally struck lightning on a thing of water and a terrifyingly big shock bubble came from that. it probably shocked Her if she wasnt wearing the thunder helm and was rather holding it. so on one hand shes more powerful, but she has to wear the thunder helm in order to not be fried. and if she had to do something like that but mipha was wearing it then well.) i think she’d be a fan of ceroba undertale yellow. also i think she’d try to be more friendly with mipha, maybe even sparring with her (though that takes a while). would absolutely make puns with a straight face and say nothing about it. would say “quiet down small man” from toon town to impa i think. also i think she’d be a huge butch fan. possibly does origami? likely has strong opinions on the dead in general. probably doesnt like zoras domain for the thought of luminous stones having trapped souls in them and zoras domain is fucking Built out of it. aaand..! ive got nothing else!! i should probably think more about her
