Okay, okay, yeah. I’m adding Worlds. Two new characters for the price of one!
This will change a bit with Legend and Mer Ravio, but honestly it should fit okay! There are simply two Ravios now, and I promise I can make it work. Lore post will be coming soon but here’s some basic information about the new guys!
Worlds: He’s a very sweet but also pretty private kind of guy. He’s confused about his identity- he doesn’t know that he is a changeling until he meets the rest of the Cryptids. He’s very much an explorer! He likes to be out in nature where it’s just him and the wildlife around him. It feels safe to not have so many eyes on him, questioning and watching. A freak, then a hero. When he’s out of the house, he doesn’t have to be anything but himself. He’s in his element when he’s trekking through- and cutting through- a field of tall grass, or tossing rocks into a river, or sifting through gravel paths to find lost rupees.
Ravio: I. Love. This. Ravio. He is so incredibly smart. When Lorule was threatened, he figured out a way to leave and find help in another world, so who’s to say he can’t do it again? After the events of A Link Between Worlds, he made it back to Hyrule. And, well! He needed a place to stay! Ravio is a very outgoing and charismatic person, and he’s a problem solver at heart. He may not be the best at swinging a sword, but strategy is his strong suit. He’s very used to inter-dimensional travel, so the whole Cryptid shenanigans don’t really bother him. Some random heroes from across time show up at his doorstep? Eh, stranger things have happened. He’s so adaptable and so clever and Worlds is so head over heels for him.
Changelings are fae children that are placed in a Hylian child’s crib when that baby is stolen away. A swap. Neither of these characters know that they are fairies. Yet. Both of their lives, being mirrors of each other, have gone similarly. Neither of them know their parents- fae or Hylian. When the Hylian parents realized that this is NOT their child!, in both worlds, they abandoned the babies. In both worlds, they were found by community members and raised to be helpers, but not true family members. They were never loved like they should have been. They’ve each spent their whole lives feeling like outsiders. They have know idea what they are, who they belong to, or where they fit.
They learn that they fit together. They can belong to each other.
Changelings are affected by a very strong glamour before they’re swapped with a Hylian baby. So both of them will have lived their lives looking like any other Hylian! No wings! No glowing eyes! Not particularly small!
Forest, of course, will see through this glamour right away. But are they truly ready for answers?
