The Sheikah - RotS

Description

The Sheikah from my Zelda AU.

Impa, Paya and Sheik (Zelda) travel through the Gerudo desert and finally meet the King himself, along with his escort.
The tattoos are different because of their roles in the tribe: Zelda is a warrior, while Paya is a priestess (dunno what other term to use). Nowadays Impa is one of the five leaders of the tribe, a respected member who devoted her youth to praying and her adult life to protecting her people.

Zelda is a nice girl, witty and coy, she laughs and cares for her friends, but since all her life the sheikah have been on their own, she refuses to trust the Gerudo, showing a hostile demeanor.

Paya is Impa’s granddaugther and trains to take her place as leader one day. She and Zelda grew up together and consider each other sisters.

Initially it was only going to be Impa and Zelda, but since Breath of the Wild gave us finally more than a glimpse into the Sheikah’s life, I decided to incorporate some of the new characters, starting with Paya. There are also going to be characters from other games (I want to avoid OCs). The Gerudo's side soon. Just sketches for now.

I love how BotW really put more work into the Sheikah than just "a mysterious people who serve the royal family." Still kinda wish we could find out why they eternally swore allegiance but OoT hints at a "bloody history" for them.
