Shahana

Normal Attire

**Shahana** is a character in the Hyrule campaign setting of Realm of Shade. As a non-player character, she is portrayed by Ryan Gerbig.

## History

Shahana was born to Queen Katerine within Hyrule Castle, but was kidnapped at some point when she was a baby by a group looking to sacrifice her in a ritual. Before the ritual could be completed, Shahana was saved by Impa and Grisha while they were both still guardians of the Hyrulean Royal Family. For reasons unknown, she was left in the care of her uncle, Harkon, whom she's lived with in the lower residential district of Castle Town ever since. She began training with Impa so that she would be prepared for an event yet to come, learning both the art of combat and magic.

## Personality

Shahana is a quiet young woman that has to steal from others to live. She's quick to act if things get tough, though will back down just as quickly when a situation resolves itself. Whenever she gets nervous or flustered, she pulls her hood further over her head. She doesn't like interacting with annoying people who flirt with her, such as Garian Cortinet.

## Role in Plot

### Chapter 1: Risk of Reward

Shahana's initial introduction had her attempting to pickpocket Hyle as they were wandering through Castle Town's Market. She was caught before she could take anything, and nearly found herself in combat with the mercenary until Harkon stepped in. She followed her uncle as he lead Golden Harvest to the Catcrawler's Haven, where he proceeded to introducing the both of them and provide the party with information. There, she was pestered by Garian, who she wished to leave at every moment she was brought into the conversation. When Impa had arrived at the bar, she called Shahana away, telling her that they were to travel to Wilingard City for Shahana's further training.

### Chapter 2: Risk of Reward

While Golden Harvest was dealing with their job in Saris City, Impa had taken Shahana to Kakariko Village for further training and protection. She returned to Castle Town only a few weeks later when Impa was called back to Hyrule Castle.

## Relationships

### Garian Cortinet

Shahana and Garian appear to have something of a history, as he appears familiar with her, going so far as to compliment her beauty and ask for her opinions on political subjects, despite her objections. Shahana doesn't appear to be fond of Garian, despite his interest.

### Harkon

As Shahana's uncle, Harkon holds authority over her, and will scold her if she does something wrong. While she isn't talkative normally, she seems less so while he is present.

### Hyle

Shahana randomly targeted Hyle as he pickpocketing target, of which she seems apologetic for. While she was leaving the Catcrawler's Haven, she kept her eyes on Hyle, seemingly taking some sort of interest in him.

### Impa

Impa is Shahana's teacher whom she follows with little dispute. She appears submissive towards the older woman and rarely questions her authority.

## Abilities

Shahana appears to be a decent pickpocket and has some fighting and magical capabilities. She somehow has powers on the same level as the Six Sages or Princess Zelda, which she uses by entering an unwilling trance-like state.

* Shahana was featured in the Radiant Heart sorcerer subclass by Ryan Gerbig, available on DriveThruRPG.
