SANRAI IS SO PRETTYYYYYY id love to know more of her lore
Tysm!! Her lore is largely undeveloped since I am shy 🙈 I am happy u like her !!!
In the end I wanted her father’s identity to be a complete mystery to her, and also to Link!
There is no way he would’ve let Midna leave if he knew
There would be no way to keep Sanrai close if she knew either
since Midna is a play on "midnight", sanrai’s name is a play on "sunrise" or “sunlight”
She was inspired the most by a drawing I did of ‘midna reincarnated’ finding a ‘hidden portal’ a way from the Twilight Realm back to Hyrule
Generally I wanted her to take after link in terms of face shape, shorter stockier build, but retain much of her mother’s colouring, sassiness etc. a twili girl at the end of the day but with a hylian written all over her features
My favourite thing about her design is the markings on her face if you lift her bangs, it should look like a wolf we all know and love. Her shoulder too! I used the official art to sort of try to capture his face shape in hers, and ofc looked at lots of wolf link as well!! Her headpiece mirrors some of wolf link’s shapes as well. I really wanted this silent yearning for Link present in how Midna cares for her, designs her clothing and jewelry etc. since more than her beloved daughter, Sanrai is the constant reminder of what she left behind to protect them both
I wrote the start of the fic that would probably lead to Sanrai but never finished it… u can read some of that here:
