Jewel's Relationships and History

Friends

Link (ordonian_hero) -- Suspected to be the Link from her own Hyrule, although this is unconfirmed; she largely presumes this to be the case because, unlike a lot of people upon first meeting her, he seemed unsurprised that she wasn't blonde. In point of actual fact, he is quite possibly not the Link she knows, but it gives her comfort to believe that it is, and he's been gentlemanly enough not to argue. Assuming that he is "her" Link, there is hardly anyone whom she trusts more. Theirs is a very cordial, respectful friendship.

Threads with "Goink":

• First meeting
  
• They converse over food at the castle
  
• He brings Ilia to the inn
  
• Goink watches Jewel practice archery
  
• After the costume switch
  
• Fighting together again: The Battle for Kakariko
  

Zelda (regnant_zelda) -- Jewel's "blonde twin," who sometimes addresses her as sister. They are both from the Twilight Princess era and have led somewhat parallel lives, but the details are different. It's as comfortable a friendship as it can be, given the circumstances.

Threads with "Regnant":

• First meeting
  
• Regnant visits Jewel at the inn, somewhat by accident
  

Midna (excuseuprincess) -- Not the one that Jewel knew in her own world, but the same in essentials. Jewel and Midna are rather fond of each other; Midna is somehow able to make Jewel feel better when she has reason to be upset, and is always welcome at the inn.

Threads with Midna:

• First meeting
  
• Midna gives Jewel some much-needed companionship
  
• At the Solstice party
  

Vaati (sorcerer_vaati) -- One of the first individuals Jewel met in this new Hyrule, they have connected on a few different levels.

Threads with Vaati:

• First meeting
  
• Bonding in a storm
  
• Vaati finds a distressed Jewel
  
• After the costume switch (with Linksha)
  
• Kakariko Battle: Vaati wards the well and Jewel almost dies (with Linksha)
  

Ashei and Shad (ashei_yeah and twilit_scholar) -- These two sort of go as a pair; they're from the same Hyrule. (Since Shad and Jewel belong to the same mun, they don't interact much.) Also hailing from a TP-verse, they're the loyal servants of their own Queen Zelda, but as long as they're here, they've sort of glommed onto Jewel, who welcomes the, er, glomming. Ashei was the first to move into the inn with her, shortly followed by Shad and then later Linksha, and later still another Link and Zelda. They're an odd little family.

Threads with Ashei, with Shad sometimes included:

• First meeting
  

Linkshaia Adennos dal'Brisby al'Silva (linkshaia) -- One of Jewel's housemates, and the one to whom she is arguably the closest. For all intents and purposes, as least as far as emotion may dictate relationship, he is her little brother. Privately, she thinks of Linksha, Vaati, Shad, and Goink as "her boys."

Threads with Linksha:

• First meeting
  
• Linksha moves in
  
• Dancing at the festival
  
• After the costume switch (with Vaati)
  
• Costume switch -- swordplay and acceptance
  
• Rescuing LA together
  
• Linksha joins the Battle for Kakariko (with young Zelda and Vaati)
  
• Vaati wards the village well and Jewel almost dies (with Vaati)
  
• Jewel battles Meg -- and then fights with Linksha
  
• Making up is not hard to do
  
• At the Solstice party (with Harper)
  

Link (koholint_hero) -- A new arrival, along with his own Princess Zelda (turtlerockqueen, who shares Jewel's mun), at "Jewel's Foster Home for Imaginary Heroes." Jewel found him when he washed up on the shores of Lake Hylia, brought him home and started fussing over him as she does.

Threads with "LA":

• First meeting (with Linksha)

Harper (hylian_sheikah) -- The silver-tongued Sheikah hails from an alternate version of Jewel's own Hyrule, and serves a Zelda who looks exactly like her. He arrived at the start of the war and pledged himself to Jewel's services...in any capacity.

Threads with Harper:

• First meeting
  
• Harper breaks his leg
  
• First kiss
  
• Harper's new home (with Linkshaia, for part)
  
• Harper participates in the potion-making
  
• A night together (warning: rated R/low NC-17)
  
• The Solstice party:
  
  • Just the two of them
    
  • With Linksha, who's being a delightful pill

Overall, the permanent residents of the inn have formed something of a family, with Jewel as "mother hen" (Linksha's name for her).

The Inn Crowd:

• Jewel's nightmares reveal her past
  
• Socialization as Kakariko recovers

Friendly Acquaintances

Blue of the Four Sword (xblueswordx) -- Although their relationship started off rather rockily, Jewel found that threatening the young Link's life was an effective means of getting his respect. They have since that time been on agreeable terms.

Threads with Blue:

• First meeting
  

Sheik (tehnrija) -- Jewel only met this particular Sheik once before his death/disappearance. She liked him, though.

Threads with Sheik:

• First and only meeting

Prince Ralis (son_of_rutela) -- Jewel quite likes the small, sweet Prince of the Zora, although they don't know each other well.

Threads with Ralis:

• Dancing at the festival

Dark Link (darkmastersword) -- Jewel encountered this particular Shadow Link on his first appearance in Hyrule, and offered him the comfort of a warm meal and a friendly place to eat it.

Threads with Dark Link:

• First meeting

Ilia (villager_ilia) -- In her own Hyrule, Jewel had never yet had occasion to meet Ilia, but now there's one here in this Hyrule. She's quite content to accept the younger woman, reasoning that any friend of Link's is a friend of hers.

Threads with Ilia:

• First meeting (with Goink)

Link (severs_twilight) -- Another Link from the Twilight Princess era, whom she met when she mistook him for "Goink." From what little she knows of him, she likes him.

Threads with "Twilight":

• First meeting

Green (xgreenswordx) -- He was the one of the 'color boys' who responded to Jewel's call for allies when Ganon took over the country. When he fell ill, his compatriot Vio brought him to the inn for care.

Threads with Green:

• Green's illness

Zelda (crystallinesong) -- Physically, Jewel's mirror image. They met during the cleanup following the Battle of Kakariko, in which both had participated, and became immediate allies.

Threads with Zelda/Fem!Sheik:

• First meeting

Unfriendly or Neutral Acquaintances

"Keane" (keepinbalance) -- She knows little of him. He is mysterious, and wary. But not impolite.

Threads with "Keane":

• First meeting
  

George (shadygeorge) -- She's not a fan. He's way too personal.

Threads with George:

• Jewel visits his stand at the festival

Viscen (captainviscen) -- They don't know each other well, but she finds him polite and pleasant.

Threads with Viscen:

• First meeting, at the festival

Divine Acquaintances

The Fierce Deity (fierce_deity) -- He scares the living daylights out of her.

Threads with the Fierce Deity:

• First meeting

And then there's that one...

Ganon (old_man_ganon) -- This is hard to figure out, because... well... it's a friendship that isn't. It's a friendship that shouldn't be, really. But it's something. And it's unique in all of Hyrule. She doesn't know, at first, about the unrequited affection on his side of the equation.

Threads with Ganon:

• First meeting
  
• Picking berries
  
• At the hot springs
  
• Ganon pretends to know nothing about the love poem
  
• He asks her to dance
  
• She tells him about her past
  
• After the costume switch
  
• He takes over the castle; she confronts him
  
• He takes her prisoner
  
• Jewel in captivity
  
• She beats him at Wii bowling
  
• The rescue is probably at hand
  

Postal correspondence with Ganon:

• Ganon is a pest
  
• Secret admirer poem
  
• After the Battle of Kakariko, Ganon admits his feelings
  

Additionally....

These are threads in which Jewel does not take an active part, but is directly referenced or discussed by the participating characters.

• Shad meets Ganon
  
• Shad tells Linksha about his suspicions re: Ganon
  
• Harper and Linksha bond while discussing the Princess
  

The Hyrulean War

When Ganon announced his plans to conquer this new Hyrule, Jewel -- surprisingly, considering their previously good relationship -- was among the first to stand up to him. This confrontation prompted her shift into the Lady of War persona, as she instigated the establishment of a resistance force in Kakariko Village.
