Zelda
The Legend of Zelda's titular character, princess Zelda can be
encountered in both the Child Timeline and Adult Timeline,
with separate statistics for each.

Child Timeline

At the delicate age of 10, princess Zelda is the sole heir to the
throne of Hyrule. Shortly after she was born, during the Hyru-
lean Civil War, Hyrule Castle was besieged. Zelda's mother
went missing during one of the attacks. Some say the queen
was killed or taken by enemies as they stormed the castle.
Others say she fled into the night, never to be seen again.
Either way, king Harkinian II was struck with grief, swearing
to protect his daughter from any harm. This resulted in the
young princess growing up in the near-solitude of her tower,
given all the luxuries that befit a princess yet no access to the
world outside the castle walls.
