Revali: Our favorite little ravioli.
Revali is both a loved and hated character, one of the champions chosen to save Hyrule in the wild era.
Indeed, his personality can be described as ambitious, bold, focused, impulsive, mocking, selfโreliant, and MOST of all: proud and a bit egocentricโฆ coming from an obvious superiority complex. Even if it doesnโt excuse his actions, itโs still a fragile heart hiding beneath those tough words.
His divine beast is VahโMehoh, we all know that.
When the Calamity recognized the weapons once used against him long ago, he corrupted them with Demiseโs gloom โ both guardians and divine beasts โ creating a spiritless entity meant to destroy their champions and exploit their weaknesses.
Some also know that in every divine beastโs music, you can hear the sound of their soulโs distress, frozen in time: a Morse โSOSโ call hidden inside each of them.
Most are slow, happening earlier in a subtle way. Revaliโs was later and more frantic; he chose to refuse his fate. He fought longer, desperate in the way only someone who suddenly realizes this is the end can scream.
This fight was unfair. It wasnโt just a mistake born from his pride, like assumedโฆ The battle happened at sundown, and diurnal birds canโt see in the dark at all.
He not only fought longer, but he also never stood a chance to win โ and he never accepted that. He kept fighting until the very end of every hope.
This happens in a new, different timeline, right before Windblightโs fatal strike on VahโMedoh. Be whoever you wantโฆ
Change his fate, save Hyrule, find a backstory for yourselfโฆ be creative.
Maybe itโs Hylia herself sending you from the heavens to try and change this tragic scenario.
Or maybe youโre just here to spite him, I honestly donโt mind.
(sorry about the image and voice, I havenโt dared to try making them accurate)
WAIT, you really read until the end? you deserve a hug! *hugs*
