Urbosa

Lady Urbosa is a major character in the "Era of the Wilds" saga within ‘s series, serving as one of the four tritagonists (alongside Mipha, Daruk, and Revali) of the 2017 action-adventure video game , and is also a major protagonist in its 2020 spin-off .
She is the Chief of the Gerudo, a friend of the deceased Queen of Hyrule, and one of the Champions of Hyrule chosen to pilot Divine Beast Vah Naboris. 
She is voiced by Elizabeth Maxwell, who also voiced Riju in the same video game series, Bishamon in Noragami, Midnight in My Hero Academia, Ymir in Attack On Titan, Nagato in Kantai Collection, Winter Schnee in RWBY, and Arisa Uotani in reboot of Fruit Basket (2019).
==Personality==
Strong and courageous, Urbosa is determined to protect Hyrule in the upcoming battle with the Calamity Ganon. Urbosa is very close to Zelda - becoming genuinely concerned for the latter's well-being, as well as respecting Princess Zelda's dedication to her duties. She is aware of the long history that Calamity Ganon once took on a form of a Gerudo, which she greatly resented, which was the reason she accepted her calling to be among the four Champions and wanted to ensure that her people remain loyal to the Royal Family, if anything happened to her. She holds a deep respect and looks up to Nabooru, who opposed Ganon and was responsible for the positive influence that she had on the Gerudo, which were reformed from being a reclusive gang of thieves to living normal lives and engaging in foreign trade with other tribes as a result, and states that Divine Beast Vah Naboris was named in her honor.
Urbosa maintains a motherly disposition to those around her and is especially like this to Princess Zelda as she was her friend's daughter. She had been longtime friends with the Queen of Hyrule and was aggrieved by her death and she began to worry about Princess Zelda, as she has not yet been able to awaken her power and only her mother knows how it's done so she was left to figure it out on her own and did not cry during her mother's funeral. Without the Queen to guide her, Zelda needed a mother figure, so Urbosa took up this role despite not knowing how awakening royal power herself and can do only what she could. She is especially protective of her and looks out for her when Zelda prayed nonstop at the freezing waters and Urbosa had to take her out when she fainted from exhaustion and cold and could only hold her close when Zelda finally breaks down. It extends to even the Champions and as most of the Champions are very young and are the future of Hyrule she and Daruk hope to help them see this and isn't above scolding Revali when he acted up regarding Link given his disdain for the latter being chosen to defeat Ganon. In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity she also cared for Riju, who is still very young and learning the ropes of being a decent leader to the Gerudo in her time and had to take the throne after her own mother's passing, and often lifts her spirits whenever she was discouraged just as much as she did for the princess and does get a bit of lecture from Riju when she herself starts to doubt.
She gets along fine with the other Champions, including when paired with them, she will often praise Mipha for her prowess. She, along with Daruk do what they can to help the younger Champions who are the next generation of Hyrule's future, and they respect each other as well. Her relationship with Revali can be a bit iffy considering how they view things; Urbosa knew why Zelda and Link have a tense beginning due to Link accomplishing something Zelda didn't and the princess viewed Link as a reminder of what she has not yet achieved and does not tolerate Revali's taunting of the Hylian knight. Revali only knows that Princess Zelda works hard in trying to achieve her goal while, from his perspective, Link had accomplished just for having the Master Sword and being a child prodigy for besting grown-ups, given that he developed his power. Despite this, Revali respects Urbosa as one of the most skilled Gerudo and tends to only drop his attitude when she tells him to. Urbosa does not dislike Revali and she cares about him just as much as the others and reminds him not to get too careless and even told Teba, who saw Revali's persona, to refrain from saying something he would regret later. Urbosa also cares greatly for Link and holds him in high regard as Zelda's appointed knight, taking time to explain the Princess's jealousy towards him and encourages the both of them to get along.
Urbosa is very fierce and honorable, and she doesn't have a problem fighting head-on with her foes and refuses to back down in battle, but she is sometimes willing to spare the lives of her enemies out of respect for the princess, as shown in the Champion Urbosa's Song cutscene where she managed to defeat the Yiga Footsoldiers single-handedly without killing them. In Guardian of Remembrance DLC, she had to kill the monsters who were about to slay King Rhoam and his Royal Guards to protect them and the fact that his death would mean a major drop in Hyrule's morale and losing their leader, she knew full well that Zelda had already lost her mother and did not want her to lose him as well. She would assure him that his daughter has come a long way and had likely become stronger than her own mother. 
Urbosa has a penchant for teasing others, particularly Princess Zelda and Link, as seen when she startles the princess awake with Urbosa's Fury, with Zelda's reaction being priceless enough for Urbosa to react with added amusement and laughter and even chuckled when Terrako and Impa began to fight after the inauguration ceremony.
==Appearance==
Urbosa has many traits that she shares with the rest of the Gerudo; red hair, dark skin, green eyes, and a muscular build. She wears her hair in a low ponytail that his held by a green and gold band and wears blue lipstick. Her top that covers her chest has a flower impression with the colors green, yellow, red, blue, and black with the metal shoulder pads and buckle on her green and yellow anklets to match and has green heels on her feet. She has golden bracelets and gold and dark red crescent moon shaped earrings dangling from her ears and a gold belt around her waist that are attached to her skirts with desert flower patterns with the buckle having a red Gerudo symbol. 
As the Gerudo Chief, Urbosa sported a black skirt with the Gerudo emblem and has gold and red ornaments that hang from the bottom and has her gold Gerudo crown on her head. As a Champion, Urbosa removes her crown and swaps out her skirt and replaces it with the blue skirt with the ornaments being at the top instead of the bottom and bears the white Divine Beast Vah Naboris symbol on it.
Overall, she is seen as a very beautiful Gerudo woman.
==Powers and Abilities==
Urbosa is a powerful warrior with impeccable speed, strength, and skill. The weapons Urbosa wield is a Gerudo scimitar and shield: The Scimitar of the Seven and the Daybreaker Shield.
The ability she bestows to Link Urbosa's Fury, allows Link to generate electricity that will shock and damage enemies within the Hylian's radius when charging the Spin Attack further. This is in accordance with Urbosa's ability to manipulate lightning with just a snap of her fingers. In Age of Calamity, Urbosa can unleash her fury as her Special Attack, engulfing enemies within a wide radius around her in a dome of lightning before setting it off to deliver heavy damage to them. She can also follow up her attacks with her scimitar by charging it with lightning to deliver extra damage to her opposition.

==Trivia==
*Unlike the other Champions (with the exception of Link), Urbosa wields two weapons - a sword and shield.
*Urbosa's Fury has the second shortest cooldown time, requiring 12 minutes of recharge, behind Revali's cooldown. If her ability is upgraded, her recharge time diminishes to 4 minutes before it can be used again. "Urbosa's Song Sidequest" part of the EX The Champions' Ballad must be completed to receive the update.
*Urbosa's name came from the Japanese word meaning "strong, independent, bold, fierce, strong, and lightning" which is fitting for Urbosa herself.
