Day 24 - Science/Tech
Robbie and his kick-ass goggles! I've been wanting to draw him since AoC came out, lol
Always hc'd he made the gogs himself to fix poor eyesight resulting from some mad science related incident. He probably had fun figuring it out and adding doodads to it, too :P
And yeah, only one post as opposed to two after all... something came up today and I could only finish this prompt :( that means I'll just be moving Twilight to the catch-up list, and focusing on tomorrow's prompt instead cause it's too important to miss!
GO MY REF FOR CHERRY
(click for better quality because Tumblr ate it
okay, NOW its time for a proper introduction to Cherry.
Cherry is the lead Yiga scientist, leading the research and development of both shiekah and Zonai tech. before ever joining the yiga clan, though, she originally worked as a shiekah scientist with robbie and purah. while she matched the same genius as them, she didn't have the same charismatic personality thay forced the room to look at her, leaving her often in their shadows. and that was fine for a while- but she became unappreciated in what she did.
at somepoint not long before calamity ganon was to arrive, she was kidnapped by the yiga clan, held as both a hostage and also their new scientist. originally she was completely against them.
but the yiga clan is more like a cult than anything. and for a girl like her, desperate to be seen... they wormed their way in. ....and no one seemed to be looking for her either.shes roughly around the same ages as both purah and Robbie so.
yeah.
oh and.
yes.
she's the Cherry Robbie's so called ancient oven was named affer :)
I think these are the final designs I’ll post, but I’ve been writing a lot and hopefully a comic shall come, slowly but surely. Happy to answer anything that won’t spoil it lol
(I had the vision for Doc, and I struggled so bad designing him. I mean, yiga don’t show any skin. And they wear a mask. Aaaaa that was hard I hope it’s okay tho!)
I would like to thank @red-gekkouga for the idea for this drawing.
You see, on the Royal Ancient Lab server (the same one I mentioned in the previous post) Red wrote about the wacky dream she had:
For some reason, this scene from my favorite childhood cartoon, Kikoriki, appeared before my eyes, but with Purah and Robbie, and I couldn't help but draw it 😆
{Previous drawing] [Next drawing}
Purah somehow found herself in the role of Link's primary physician.
“Why?” The Royal Ancient Technology Lab's director had inquired, “I'm an engineer, not a physician!”
“The Sheikah created his kind in the era of the last Calamity,” the head of the royal family's medical team had responded ever so bluntly, “you are most equipped at dealing with him; being the kingdom's foremost authorities on ancient Sheikah technology.”
“That doesn't suddenly make me a doctor!” Purah had cried ever so not-bluntly. “Linky has conditions, needs medications, preventatives; what about if he's wounded in battle?!”
“The field team can handle wound care. You clearly know far more about his needs than we do.”
“If you just don't want to treat him, you could just say that!” Purah was trying not to raise her voice at the physician, seeing how his voice was calm and nearly monotonous, but the spirited researcher was having a difficult time quieting herself. Was the staff simply refusing to treat Link because of what he was? Were they sincerely concerned with their ability to provide adequate care for anyone non-Hylian? It was impossible to tell, given their insufferable monotony! “Enough people have said one thing to him and done the other, he at least deserves your honesty.”
“You have records.”
“No I don't!” She couldn't help a hand to her face. Why couldn't they just provide care to him? “Most of the records were destroyed; or stolen by the ancient Ordonians. And even if they weren't, this wasn't even considered a disease back then! Why are you making this hard!”
This time, the physician wouldn't even make eye contact with her.
“Would you at least give us the honor of allowing us to contact you should anything concerning arise?” Robbie was, in a word, more collected then Purah. He calmly stopped what he was doing and waltzed over, looking at only the physician.
“...If anything truly major happens, I suppose we could spare him a glance. I make no promises of if we could assist him.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
“...Hmph. Have a pleasant day.” Gathering the little he had placed down, the man in charge of the Royal Family's medical care turned and departed from the Royal Ancient Technology Laboratory.
“Now who does he think he is, shoving Linky off like that?” She crossed her arms and pouted, casting a side eye to her research partner.
“The highest doctor in all Hyrule would be my guess.”
“I'd like to say I can't believe he'd have the nerve, …but honestly, with the way things've been since the Queen passed, I'm not terribly surprised.”
“His Majesty has way too much on his plate to be able to strong-arm the staff into being kinder to our formerly-exiled friends, I'm afraid. Not that it's the monarch's job to be a nanny either.”
Purah shook her head. “No, I don't blame King Rhoam in the slightest. If anything, I blame the nobility for finding every single reason to encourage people to keep Linky and the others as distanced as possible. So what if Her Majesty had me treat an issue of his once? Using a bit of technology on a toddler under her's and a doctor's provision is vastly different from being a young man's entire medical staff!”
“‘Young man’ might be pushing it. He's what? Fourteen?.”
“He's a boy in mind and body, I know,” Purah admitted with a deep sigh. “But the Remnants consider their children to be adults once they've hit that point in puberty where children are possible. I dare not offend their queen.”
“You would think the medical staff would think the same. Link is technically our Zelda's equivalent to a neighboring kingdom. One with a very scary queen at that.” Robbie glanced over to the man in question, who silently hovered over his counterpart under Hylia as she cataloged parts from a disassembled Guardian. “If I were them, I'd keep Link on a fluffy cloud.”
“I'm surprised my sis will go anywhere near him, after the encounter she had with his mom.”
“I'd suppose it'd be hard to advise the Princess though, if you were always avoiding her bodyguard.
“Trueee, it's not like she's approaching Link specifically…” Purah pinched her bottom lip. “Think we can get some weight on ‘im?”
“Think the Castle can afford that much food? He already eats more than the squadron he was on when he was first knighted.”
“Think we should probably try… I know we know very little about how Hylian the Wolfbred still are, but I find it very hard to believe an active fourteen-year-old boy is supposed to be that slim.”
“Should we hire an Ordonian healer, maybe?”
“If we could find one. I know their population's kinda next to nothing now. Can't imagine there'd be a ton of healers that could either move up here or routinely make the trip.”
“He is the queen's son… maybe someone'd be willing to come out here just to keep him intact.”
“It'd be easier if we had more than like, two Wolfbred.”
“You know His Majesty relocated them out of concern for their safety.”
“Yeah, yeah. I know they're probably a lot safer and happier in Zora's Domain. It would just make it more plausible to get a healer up here.”
“You'd think he'd let us give him an exam since the medical staff won't do it?”
“I've been manhandling him since he was a puppy. He'll let me do quite a bit to him.”
“How about his head?”
“Oh, absolutely not. You know Linky won't let anyone touch him there.”
“Well, for the sake of all Hyrule, he better not hit his head.”
“For the sake of Hyrule, we need a better plan for this boy.”

I see so many people joke how Purah found the secret to immortality and didn’t even share it with Impa or Robbie and, while I think it’s funny, let me raise you this: Purah has trauma from the Great Calamity that has stunted her in the past
So hear me out. We know that Age of Calamity isn’t really canon but we can assume some things from it are, such as Purah and Robbie’s roles and personalities before everything happened. Purah was seen to be very aloof and maybe even too confident in their skills to stop Calamity Ganon, to be fair they had everything prepared and ready to stop it so why wouldn’t she be. But when things didn’t go to plan and the Great Calamity happened, hundreds of lives were lost, especially those who worked close with Purah like the champions, Link, and Zelda. This affected her greatly, causing her to realize what was really at stake and giving her a fear of death.
In the time after the Great Calamity, Purah began working on figuring out immortality, especially as she got older. She presented the idea to Impa and Robbie, hiding her true intentions under the guise of it ensuring they’d be there to help Link and Zelda when the time came. They both refused, as they had come to peace with the passage of time. This drove a bit of a steak between the three of them, which is why we don’t see them interact in Breath of The Wild
I believe in the events after Breath of The Wild and before Tears of The Kingdom Purah grappled more with her fears and trauma, especially after reconnecting with Impa and Robbie. They aren’t the same people she believed them to be before the Great Calamity and she isn’t either. I think Purah’s relationship with Josha is evidence of her accepting fate, passing down her knowledge to a successor
So yeah, I think Purah has more going on than just not wanting to share immortality :)
