" we're hungry grrrr. "

" Most houses are left empty by travelers. But whatever. Whatever suits your boat, bard. "

" Boowomp. Maybe people should be less meeeeeeeeean to others who are just different. "

" They don't let you have a house? That's a little sad. We got our house with the help of the hero we. . .share an era with. "

" What do you think we're doing? We live in an isolated tree house, so we don't have to worry about the judgemental gaze. We didn't even do anything wrong. "

" Then those Hylians are just... cruel. They never give people second chances. Just because I don't live up to their standards doesn't mean I am still a 'monster.' Hylians are just stuck up and think they are higher than thou. "

" You are still saying funny words. We know for a fact there is pink in the crimson. More pink than red. We just... this darkness can be used for good. We are good. "

" What. . .? What are...gender expressions? Huh? "

" Dimensional war....? "

wewewewewewew,,,

<— a trans woman who's still in the closet Someone please help it /silly

Silly little shade doing cartwheels in the middle of Hyrule Field. Look at it go.

" You speak funny words, bard. We don't have to look like the hero. We just do as we don't know who we are yet. We just...don't feel right looking like this. We have tried, but I'm afraid we're not ready yet. "

" No fighting for us. Only sparring to keep ourselves fully trained. We just want to be a free shade. No worries for us. "

" We have been....banished before. Not pleasant at all. Besides, we don't want to fight others. "

" Huh huh? We didn't say you could summon us?? "

" Ganon scares us. Ooooouh.... "

Becoming all jagged to scare off the hero.

" But even if... we are a monster, we don't feel like one. "

" We aren't sure who even created us. We aren't even.... a monster? "

It needs to stop being so scared of everything. Rubbing its left arm.

Sunny♡ Blblblblblb

" We hope we aren't seen as a threat. " ;;

" Is that...human? Huh? "

The King of Evil scares it. Shooing him away.

Silly little shade wearing its dress. Awh.

It is doing several cartwheels in Hyrule Field. Aw.

Silly little shade. Look at it go.

BREAKS IT DOWN. Go shadow go.

Does a backflip.

" Why are there so many bright lights? "

BLEEEEEEEEEH!!

GNAW GNAW GNAW.

" I don't know... I don't think I am what people think I am. " Its arms were sore. The gauntlets tend to be pretty heavy for it. Rubbing the ashy gray "skin."

" Mimicking...? I do not mimic... " Unclipping the straps of its gauntlets to slide the arm wear off. It had a confused expression on its face.

It glanced over to the side. Sniffling to itself. It doesn't know how it learned such a skill. " Don't... know? "

BITING THE WIZZROBE.

It continued staring at him, looking absolutely scared. Who wouldn't be after getting threatened by another shade. Fidgeting with the gauntlets.

Shakily finishing the painting and setting it aside. Scooting towards the shadows of the house.

It's just very scared of the other shade. Hesitantly grabbing the ashy gray paint for itself.

" That's the point.... " It is painting itself and the hero it fought back in the Water Temple. Giving off the bombastic side eye.

Another sniffle. Glancing over for a smidge before freaking out. Dabbing spots of green paint on the canvas.

Sniffling. Too busy painting to notice. Wait- why is bro in its house.

Nuh uh. It isn't crying. It's painting.

Sniffling. All it wanted was a friend, but it's just a shade. Others think it's a horrible being.

In its isolation, it has been painting itself and the Hero. Sniffling to itself. It can't expel tears, but it can feel sadness.

Now its just hiding deep within the tree house. Do not disturb it.

Isolating itself in the tree house. Sniffling to itself.

Shoving away the chest from the tree house. Doubt is still consuming it.
