Pallin bas Ilisca

Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.

Appearance

Pallin is a slightly taller than average man. He weighs in at around 180 pounds and reaches an even height of six feet. His hair, like that of other Sheikah members, is strikingly bright. Some have a hard time distinguishing what color it is - some swear they see the slightest hint of purple, some say pink, and others say blue. Pallin’s favorite color is blue, so he prefers to think that whatever ‘color’ his hair is, if not white, is the lightest blue imaginable. To further accent his peculiar hair, he adorns it with blue ceramic beads. On his forehead he wears a multilayered headband crafted from sturdy fibers that help to keep the hair out of his pale, green eyes.

The rest of his ensemble is a bit less fanciful. Sometimes he dresses in the traditional Sheikah garb - robes tightened with lace, shoes that make for silent footsteps, and on a particularly cold day, he will use extra cloth to cover his nose and mouth. Other days, however, he will be found wearing gear from all around Hyrule, bought either from a visit or a traveling merchant. Robes, tunics, boots of varying height, and even scarves, are among the pieces of clothing that Pallin wears regularly. He has a pale complexion in comparison with his other tribespeople, considering he spends a bulk of time studying the stars at night.

Personality

Pallin is a relatively well-composed individual. He doesn’t care much for large crowds or large parties, since they tend to be a bit more than he can handle. He is the kind of person who would like to read a book rather than spend a night out in a town. While he does like to study stars and does so using somewhat large telescopes in the Hidden Village, he also likes to take a few days’ time and set up camp by the river and track the stars as they travel through the sky.

Pallin minds his manners, but has a hard time maintaining a smile if it isn’t a real one. Some call him aloof, and that wouldn’t be far off the mark. It’s not that he has a distaste for people in general, it’s that he has a distaste for people who aren’t genuine. It’s a waste of their time and his time. If there’s one thing that Pallin detests, it’s a wasted opportunity. Social skills aren’t his exact strength, and he falls flat in areas where sympathy or consolation are needed. He’s great to talk about more logical things, plans for the future, and things like that, but he’s not so good at cheering people up. More often than not, his brisk pace tends to make people feel pushed to the side - not that he feels bad about it, though.

History

As a 24 year old, he’s got a long life ahead of him - so he hopes. But as a Sheikah, he grew up knowing that one day, his mission was to protect the Royal Family. Though growing up, and especially into his teens, he knew that being on the front lines of defense was not an option for him. There was once a time when he and his family went to deal with a horde of monsters nearby the Hidden Village, where he discovered his passion - and his dream.d

After having this monster-slaying escapade (which left him nauseous), his mother found some herbs growing by some trees that helped with an upset stomach. They set up a camp by the edge of the woods, and Pallin saw his first shooting star. It truly was a magnificent experience - something in a split second filled him with so much joy and excitement, he spent the next few months staring straight into the night sky. He saw that the stars gradually move, and over the course of a few years, he saw that certain stars would appear in the same spots. When certain constellations were overhead, he knew that certain herbs would have an easier time growing than others. Science was his avenue, and he was determined to be the best scientist that the Royal Family had ever known. For the past ten years he has devoted his life to studying and charting the stars, the moon, weather patterns, and how it affects the environment around him. He dreams of the advancement of science to help the Royal Family prosper even more.
