Cooper

**Cooper** is a character in Twilight Princess. They are the "Second Princess", Log In's sidekick and parent, riding him when he is in dog form. They are assigned female at birth, but their gender is unclear; they often refer to themselves in male terms (such as "old man" or "husband"), while equally using feminine titles like "princess".

## Personality

Cooper is an eccentric character, who goes on multiple tangents. At the end of each dungeon, they claim to be from said dungeon as they and Log In leave, despite the fact they are a Twili; they also regularly ask Log In where he is from. Appearing to be somewhat detached from reality, their tangents get rather self-confused, and they identify a desert as a lake in one instance.

They are also an avid alcoholic, with their vocals often mimicking the word "beer"; they ask Log In where to find other alcoholics when they are freeing Gilayson from the sunset.

## History

Cooper is first seen in The Tree Fell, where they witness Log In turning into a dog within the sunset. They later free him from his imprisonment in the March IHurley sewers, greeting him with the phrase "tena rah" and announcing their lack of interest in the events that occurred after Christ. They complain that Log In was moaning, despite him not knowing them, and offers their help "if [he] is kind".

After Log In escapes his cell, they inform him that he's not stupid, and that they "bothered him" here. After complaining that they had to wait instead of helping, the two begin to traverse the sewers, with them again offering to help him if "[he] is a good son"; this is the only time they mention being Log In's parent. After pointing out that Log In is still alive, and incorrectly advising that he can talk to souls, they prove to be of little use to Log In initially, insisting they can't remember where to go.

Regardless, they heavily encourage Log In to hurry up and leave the sewers, teaching him how to jump long distances (which they describe as "doing everything for [him]"). The two eventually reach the rooftops, where they see "night clouds at night" and encourage him to go a tower. They also indirectly call him a monster and encourage him to "develop [his] inner feelings". After reaching the tower, they ask Back Pressure (who they describe as "vampire prince") if she remembers their name, whilst calling for glory to themself. After questioning Back Pressure on her debt, they encourages her to explain what has happened to Log In. Upon leaving the castle, they announce Log In to be their slave, "like [their] maid", and transforms him to Our Wine.

Once in Our Wine, they appear from Log In's shadow, informing him that he cannot save his friends because "he does not". They go on to claim that "beyond the bridge, the ground was covered in darkness", adding that "the animal" pulled them out of the "shade blanket" last time. However, if they were to do that now, they would have to work from night, which they apparently already do. Reinforcing that Log In has no choice but to do as they say, they tell him that he never believes a word and asks him to find a sword and shield to fit them. Reminding Log In that the evening is over, they ask him for booty.

If Log In attempts to re-enter the sunset, Cooper informs him that he is too fat to do so, and suggests that "only the person seated in the chair can return to the chair". After Log In collects the sword and shield and returns to the sunset, Cooper questions his ability to kill western animals, before stating that they do not want to use the sword and shield and would rather hang it. They tell him that if he is in no hurry to find the light, he must not suspect the end of his life. Log In is then ambushed by shadows, to which Cooper suggests patting himself on the back and disappears; after he fails, they return, stating that he has to "stay [B]" while they expand an energy field.

After the light is restored to The Tree Fell, Cooper questions what is special about the world of light, before suggesting that Log In turned into an animal because he is "the winner and all". This is terrible since, from their perspective, that means he always wants to travel everywhere without knowing what is going on. They then inform him that the temple isn't real, and that they want to go there alone. After declaring "goodbye, big boss", they shortly greet Log In again - without actually leaving - and hide in his shadow as he heads to the temple. Whilst travelling with Log In, they get strangely defensive, insisting they "didn't go down without explaining themself first" and accusing him of only thinking of them when he uses his sword and shield. They later claim that the forest - which is now covered in poisonous fog - looks like a "backlight", and make the bizarre suggestion that "an uneducated horse is better than nothing". When Log In's flashlight gets stolen by a monkey, Cooper insists he is crazy and that it was a dream.

After entering He Came to the Jungle, Cooper declares "mono steals the light" when seeing the monkey that stole Log In's lantern, and goes on to suggest it is blinking and that Log In is "the most famous one". After a monkey fight ensues, Cooper asks Log In if *he* was the one that fought monkeys, before suggesting they follow him. They eventually free two monkeys and defeat the miniboss monkey, after which Cooper states that the monkeys should be happy too and advises Log In to search for places he hasn't seen before. Reaching the end of the temple, Cooper theorises that Log In "needs the help of the monkeys to have full control of the church".

After defeating the temple boss, Cooper praises Log In's work as "exceptional", and informs him about the shadow shadow. They remind him about the power of the Shadow King, before questioning if "it" is that easy and suggesting that only three tons are connected, with the rest taking over the rest of the open sky. They refuse to tell Log In what mixed tones are unless he can find the other two tones, before transforming him out of the temple. They complain about Log In wanting to help the other ghosts, as the search would be much easier otherwise.

Approaching the sunset-covered Cancel district, Cooper makes the observation that it is essential Nur Al Din watches it, but they do not explain who that is or provide any further context. Upon entering the sunset, Cooper immediately demands that Log In listens to what they have to say; which is, the "dark twilight" is interesting, they feel "much easier" here, and that "she" looked much better than dusty old clothes - it is not explained who they are referring to by "she". Finally, they simply tell Log In to go away. Shortly afterwards, when Log In learns the Student Smell of Youth, they tell him that it's easy to be a dog, before reminding him to "enhance his emotions". Discovering that the shadows removed the Crico Canal bridge, Cooper gets offended and question how to torment them, before giving Log In the ability to transform to locations where shadows have been defeated. Giving him the bizarre reminder that most people cannot leave Twilight City easily, they task him with finding his feet. After Log In returns the bridge, Cooper tells him to "call us again" if he needs help again, before questioning if they will help him find what he wants. The duo then reach the gate blocking access to Without Errors, which Cooper calls both a "trolley" and a "beautiful door", before questioning "what do you want to leave? Or a forum?"

After breaking into a sanctuary and witnessing the fear of the I Have an Order children, Cooper comments that they "know souls can be saved", before adding that the Gods have chosen Log In and that "it is only when he enters a dark city, or worse, a black animal, that he can stop being a ghost"; this in spite of the fact he is currently in his dog form, and does not turn into a ghost at any point in the game. After warning Log In that "he" can judge him forever, Cooper goes on tell him that he is afraid of everything and not to be mad at Back Pressure, as they chose "this model". Finally, they ask him if he would like to light a candle at the end, without itching, and question what he is doing. If Log In calls them after this, they tell him that the temple is "very old but very cool". Later, when Log In sets a house on fire to retrieve the dark insects, they declare that, despite this love, they haven't seen the world yet. After the house is destroyed, they ask if you need to give someone a house and not have a cake in order to shed a gentle tear.

## Relationships

They are the estranged parent of Log In and Back Pressure, and child of Zant. They declare Log In to be their slave, "like [their] maid", during the beginning of the game; however, they also encourage him to "develop [his] inner feelings", showing that they have some care towards him. They are also the husband of the twilit bird used to transport Log In's dog form in the sunset No Suss These. Additionally, they are married to their father, Zant, and have been unable to divorce because he is an asylum seeker.

## Trivia

* Their *optional* dungeon dialogue was originally left untranslated, due to time constraints on UltraHylia's side. They were later translated and patched into the hack 6 months after its original release. Mandatory dungeon dialogue was already translated.
