Do you have any Mipha or Riju HCs? Nothing specific, just General headcanons
Sorry for the wait and thanks for the ask!
Cinnamon Roll that can kick ass
Takes after her mother with her skill with a spear. Although she never met her mother, (I just hc she passed away) Mipha’s precise and swift talent with the trident is a clear indication of her mother’s blood in her.
She’s always sweet, and kind, and polite when around people. However, if you disrespect her or her loved ones she is not afraid to throw hands or let off a direct and blunt remark.
Someone will be like “That Princess Zelda isn’t doing much for the kingdom, seems she useless considering she can’t even do her one job to awaken her powers correctly.”
And then Mipha will be like “You also seem pretty useless when your only personality is being your husband’s trophy wife, Ava.” said with a kind smile and sweet eyes [i just made up the name idk]
I just love me a sweet cinnamon roll who can fight
Mipha is also and A++ big sister. She takes up Sidon’s day by just complimenting him and saying how much she loves him. She gives him surprise hugs and twirls him around, and gives him rides. Everyday it’s just her cuddling and playing with him, and he never gets tired of her presence.
She teaches him to catch fish, and Mipha always claps whenever he shows off his diving moves (if he fumbles or otherwise)
and she let’s him watch her sparring practices, plus whenever she heals something for Sidon she places a little kiss on it at the end because “that’s how the real magic works!” Mipha acts all goofy around him, making faces and teasing him in front of everyone and asdfghjk
ugh i could go on about the big sister energy she has sdfghj
Also Zora come from eggs (because fish) and I saw this post where Mipha was wearing her sash like a little pack that holds baby sidon. So I just have the mental image of her going around, with the little baby sidon and just going “see this baby? I love him”

She is child and it shows
like sure, when she’s on her throne (which by the way, canonically has a booster seat, which I am 200% sure was Bularia’s idea) Riju will act professional and mature because she did have to grow up quickly
but when just hanging around other people she trusts and such? She cracks jokes and loves puns, and will even tease people with a small hint of sarcasm (because all Gerudo have that energy)
She loves all things soft, her black skirt (the color that all Gerudo Chiefs wore) she made herself to be super comfy but also airy because desert. she adds extra jewels to her crown/headset because sparkles
I think she had a single mother growing up, her dad maybe skedaddled before she was even born, so she’s grown up in Gerudo Town with her mother all her life
Riju and her late mother both had a love for sand seals, and it was her mother that gave her the name for Patricia (the prophet sand seal)
Also, Riju can understand sand seals, imagine a horse girl, but its Riju and sand seals. She can literally understand their language like that other Gerudo who translate Patricia.
I’ll probbaly mention this again when I do the Gerudo fun fact post, but there is a room in Gerudo town dedicated to crafting the sand seal plushes and grooming Patricia
So I hc that all the plushes in her room are made with the extra sand seal fluff. There is someone out there with the royal job of making the Chief Sand Seal plushies and they are paid very well
Riju plays with her toys, but like, with a sand seal government. She has them act like a sand seal council, a little government that she oversees
She just plays with them, voicing their lines like “Excuse me Chief Fluffyfin, we’re having an trading issue concerning the wild berries. It’s so delicious, the demand is high but the supply is low. We’ve hit the sealing for the outrage concerning the issue”
“Thank you Professor Buttoneyes, I will consult my councilors and advisers to a course of action. You have my seal of approval to start a committee debate on the topic. Perhaps we should start giving out free hydromelons to our fellow citizens”
Cut to Bularia from downstairs, “Riju? It’s almost midnight? Aren’t you in bed yet?”
Riju calls down, exasperated, “I’M BUSY SOLVING AN ECONOMIC CRISIS” Then she goes back to role playing with her stuffed sand seals, in which she made little clothes and crowns for
Bularia is basically her tired mom btw
