'''Arrika''' is a teenage [[Sheikah]] [[thief]] with dark eyes and jet black hair to match. She has a very loose personality, part of which includes her habit of making crude jokes. She also has a habit of drinking, which is probably due to [[Kobas]]'s early influence on her young, highly impressionable mind.
+
=Past=
-
Arrika is serious when necessary but tends to act childish or immature sometimes, and has a very flighty imagination. She can be pessimistic and has a short temper as well, which was made obvious when she first met [[Sakiko]]. Being a thief, thus having some of the abilities of a con artist, she can mask her emotions or tell a lie with a straight face easily.
+
Arrika is the result of a tumultuous affair between a renowned highwayman and an innkeeper's daughter. Unlike the legendary ballad, their fates did not meet such an immediately bloody end. The highwayman spirited his lover away and for a brief happy period they lived together in a cottage in the woods north of Rauru Town. He became involved in twisted political and underground affairs, and was slain by assassins; his lover and 8-year-old daughter Arrika were targeted next, their cottage burned as they slept. Arrika escaped the fire and managed to survive as a thief in Castle Town. Trauma caused her natural red Sheikah eyes to fade, but the color resurfaced many years later, along with her memories.

=Kobas, the Tantari, and the Ring=
-
Arrika used to live with her mother in a small house northwest of Rauru, deep in the forest, but one day their house caught fire and only Arrika managed to escape alive. Whether the house was set on fire on purpose remains to be determined. Arrika was only 11 or so at the time and managed to succeed in forgetting about her previous life as a way of getting rid of the pain. It has all started to come back to her recently, thanks to a few attempts at peaceful camping trips with one of her best friends, [[Sakiko]].
+
Kobas is half Hylian and half Sheikah. He is an accomplished thief, assassin, and spy.
-
She met [[Kobas]] when she attempted to steal food from him, not knowing he was a skilled rogue and knew her intentions before she had crossed the room. He was amused by her and pitied her as well, homeless and starving, and decided to take her under his wing and trained her to be a thief as well.
+
With the help of his close associate, a mage called Rhyss, Kobas perfected a type of dark magic that allowed him to leech life from anyone he chose. He is "immortal" in that sense, and succeeds in living for 362 years.
-
Kobas disappeared, and on his last day gave Arrika a silver state alchemist's pocket watch, one that greatly resembled the one belonging to Edward Elric, whom Kobas had met long ago. Arrika believed at first that it did belong to Ed, but in truth it was just one that Kobas had stolen when he was in Amestris. Inside is a small shard of the Philosopher's Stone, and it is still unknown how Kobas came to possess it. Arrika keeps the watch with her at all times and was exceptionally protective of it when Kobas was absent for a year.
+
He finds Arrika when she is little more than a child, and takes her under his wing. She is unaware of the parasitic bond between them for many years, and falls madly and devotedly in love with him. For unknown reasons, though it is suspected he went searching for his lost lover Rebecca on an island across the sea, he disappears when she is 16, leaving her a silver pocket watch on his last day. He does not reappear until she is 19, and she spends those three years searching for him, along with guarding the watch with her life.

Arrika discovers through Seth about the parasitic spell; Seth has known all along, and has one tying him to Rhyss, but was threatened to keep it to himself. Disillusioned, Arrika hunts Kobas down, and with Sakiko's and Seth's help, kills him by burning his heart, as well as the watch, where a crucial piece of his soul resided. She takes his signature silver wolf's ring, but it comes to life and clamps down on her, and she cannot remove it. She learns from Rhyss that a wolf demon resides within it, and Kobas had let it take too much control in his attempts to wield it as a weapon.
-
Arrika's best friend is a pale, silver-haired mage girl called Sakiko. They met when Arrika was searching for the money Seth had stolen from her and hidden in a tree. Their first impressions of each other didn't seem to go very well, and they seemed very close to clawing each other's eyes out. When Arrika found a shard of a letter from Kobas to Rebecca with the words "Don't look back. Don't ever look back. That was my motto. Leave it all behind, start again. Learn from your mistakes. Don't live in the past. Look towards the future." Arrika's cold exterior cracks as she and Sakiko find that they're not as different as they first believed.  
+
A few months after Kobas' death, Arrika retreats to the Tantari, and after two years of training and meditation, masters the demon.
-
Two attempts at bonding through camping trips didn't end very well- In the first, Arrika and Sakiko were attacked by two half-vampire children, Arrika being possessed and killing the children's Hylian mother and attempting to kill Sakiko. Sakiko barely survived but the near-death situation seemed to strengthen their friendship.

The Oracles had a performance in North Castle Town in the early fall. On a whim Arrika decided to hop on stage and dance with the Oracle Flame, Din, one of the sole reasons being she wanted to toss down a hat and collect some spare change from the onlookers. A blond mage with a metal arm joined them all soon after, and moments later Arrika disappeared to sack his house in Rauru Town, not knowing who he was. The first thing she spotted was his katana, the Tempest Blade, but before she could make off with it she stepped on one of the discarded bottles that formerly contained alcohol lying on the ground. Sovelis Shifted there moments later, and Arrika's chances of escaping it alive seem very bleak, and even worse since a shard of glass embedded in her foot and the Tempest has a lethal look in his eyes, one so familiar to her...

[edit] Past

Arrika is the result of a tumultuous affair between a renowned highwayman and an innkeeper's daughter. Unlike the legendary ballad, their fates did not meet such an immediately bloody end. The highwayman spirited his lover away and for a brief happy period they lived together in a cottage in the woods north of Rauru Town. He became involved in twisted political and underground affairs, and was slain by assassins; his lover and 8-year-old daughter Arrika were targeted next, their cottage burned as they slept. Arrika escaped the fire and managed to survive as a thief in Castle Town. Trauma caused her natural red Sheikah eyes to fade, but the color resurfaced many years later, along with her memories.

[edit] Kobas, the Tantari, and the Ring

Kobas is half Hylian and half Sheikah. He is an accomplished thief, assassin, and spy.

With the help of his close associate, a mage called Rhyss, Kobas perfected a type of dark magic that allowed him to leech life from anyone he chose. He is "immortal" in that sense, and succeeds in living for 362 years.

He finds Arrika when she is little more than a child, and takes her under his wing. She is unaware of the parasitic bond between them for many years, and falls madly and devotedly in love with him. For unknown reasons, though it is suspected he went searching for his lost lover Rebecca on an island across the sea, he disappears when she is 16, leaving her a silver pocket watch on his last day. He does not reappear until she is 19, and she spends those three years searching for him, along with guarding the watch with her life.

Arrika discovers through Seth about the parasitic spell; Seth has known all along, and has one tying him to Rhyss, but was threatened to keep it to himself. Disillusioned, Arrika hunts Kobas down, and with Sakiko's and Seth's help, kills him by burning his heart, as well as the watch, where a crucial piece of his soul resided. She takes his signature silver wolf's ring, but it comes to life and clamps down on her, and she cannot remove it. She learns from Rhyss that a wolf demon resides within it, and Kobas had let it take too much control in his attempts to wield it as a weapon.

A few months after Kobas' death, Arrika retreats to the Tantari, and after two years of training and meditation, masters the demon.

[edit] Seth

Seth Crowley is, in effect, Arrika's younger brother.

Seth reveals to Arrika that her entire life with Kobas has been a lie, and from that point on, they hide little from each other, and there is a silent understanding that they will look out for one other.

Seth calls on Arrika after his mother's new husband is assassinated at the wedding. Seth, Arrika, and Dogura venture into the sewers beneath Castle Town in search of the murderer. There, Seth finds out that the murderer was his biological father, Thomas Crowley, and meets Netta.

[edit] Sakiko

Arrika's best friend is a pale, silver-haired mage girl called Sakiko. They met when Arrika was searching for money that Seth had stolen from her. Their first impressions of each other didn't go very well. Repeated interactions caused both of their cold exteriors to crack, and she and Sakiko find that they're not as different as they first believed.
