What does shade think of the champions? And what do the champions think of shade?
Shade has quite a wide variety of opinions about the Champions.
He really likes Daruk, who wouldn't? The big guy is friendly and caring and very genuine and encouraging. Wild both loved and felt safe with the Gorons, and while Shade already liked them as people, that just made him like the big Chief even more. His Cub is happy, so he is too. Personally, he didn't care so much for hanging around Daruk, but mostly because he didn't like being petted by a hand that knocked him off his paws by accident more often than not.
He likes Mipha, she was kind to Wild since he came to their time. Shade didn't really support a romance between them, partly because he knew she would die and also for other reasons, but he was glad Wild had a friend and supporter when he needed it. He was extra thankful when he found out about the healing, because good heavens does his Cub need that Personally, he didn't spend time with her, she was a bit wary of him even after Wild assured her he was safe. They do share a Look though whenever Wild does something reckless, so they have a mutual understanding.
With Revali, all Shade can think about at first is how much the bird reminds him of Legend when he's being cocky, or Warriors when he was trying to draw attention and act haughty or something. As he got to know him, he did become a bit frustrated with Revali's attitude, but at the same time, he is reminded of the boys, so... Personally, Revali did not like Shade, he thought it showed a sign of weakness that the hero needed a wolf to trail after him and protect him. This of course meant that Revali did not spend time with Shade, so Shade didn't get much of a better impression of him.
As for Urbosa, Shade really liked Urbosa. She's sort of the only adult who acts like an adult, and she was the one looking out for the younger Champions, as well as Zelda, which he really respected her for. Besides that, she and he had a lot in common: leaders, dry humor, height (when he was hylian) liked messing with their kids, all the fun stuff. They got along well too, not so much in a talking way, but more interaction wise. She respected him and he her, and they were good to just chill together. In a way, he considered her a friend (even though he could have been her great-something-grandfather).
