Riju

Makeela is a recurring character in.

BotW: is the young chief of the NaN Gerudos, ruling over BotW: after the untimely passing of her mother. BotW: was her mother's only child, causing the duties of leading the NaN Gerudos to fall to her. BotW: resides in the BotW:, with her BotW: being located on the second floor.

Throughout her childhood, BotW:'s mother recounted many stories about the NaN Championss and the BotW: to her daughter. One of these focused on BotW:, which she referred to as a guardian BotW: of the NaN Gerudos. She holds a great deal of respect for her ancestor BotW:, often remarking that among other ancestors, she must be looking down at them and working to keep them safe. BotW: also heard stories about BotW: placing BotW: into a BotW: after he was defeated during the BotW:. BotW: has also heard tales about BotW: hiding the BotW: in a forest.

As evidenced by the BotW: design on her skirt and NaN Sand-Seal Toies in her BotW:, BotW: loves NaN Sand Seals. Prior to her death, BotW:'s mother gave her BotW: as a present. Despite BotW:'s rugged appearance, BotW: regularly dotes on her, and BotW: is always ready to go surfing with her. The red ribbon that BotW: wears was a gift to her from BotW:.

BotW: keeps a journal known as the BotW:, which she keeps in her BotW:. She started the BotW: shortly after the death of her mother, which BotW: informed her of. While BotW: told BotW: that her mother was in a better place, BotW: could not understand how it could be better if they were apart. After becoming the chief, BotW: noticed that the people of BotW: started acting nicer to her, but she still saw worry in their eyes. As a result, she wonders if she could be as great of a chief as her mother was.

When BotW: reactivated and began roaming the BotW:, BotW: planned to investigate it, claiming that it seemed to be acting contrary to her mother's words. She approached the BotW: with BotW:, but she decided to turn back after encountering its BotW: and BotW:. However, BotW: was scared by a BotW:, resulting in them turning directly towards BotW:. The next thing BotW: is able to recall was being rescued by BotW:. Afterwards, BotW: concluded that the NaN Gerudos would be in grave danger if BotW: attacked them.

Following BotW:'s encounter with BotW:, BotW: refused to leave her side. This continued even after the BotW: was stolen from the BotW:, which BotW: fears happened due to her being unprepared to be the chief. Though no one has said as much, BotW: believes that the soldiers consider her to be powerless. Even after the BotW: were identified as the thieves, the NaN Gerudos were unable to approach their BotW:. In desperation, BotW: prayed to her mother and BotW: for guidance.

Contrary to BotW:'s opinion of herself, the soldiers directly guarding the BotW: express admiration towards her, referring to her as kind and warning travelers to avoid offending her. BotW: has also kept the BotW: open to visitors, despite BotW:'s state of emergency.

When BotW: first enters the BotW:, BotW: will greet him from her BotW:, wondering how he managed to reach the BotW:. She then notices the BotW: on BotW:'s hip, which piques her interest. BotW: will then stop BotW: and demand he explain his business. BotW: calms BotW:, stating that BotW: appears to be special and asking his name. After hearing his name, she asks what it is that he came to tell her.

Upon hearing that BotW: can calm BotW:, BotW: is skeptical, since he is not a BotW: like BotW:'s ancestor BotW:. BotW: suddenly recalls her mother's tales about BotW:, noting that the two have the same name. If BotW: does not yet have the BotW:, BotW: will point this out to BotW:. BotW: cites legends that BotW: hid it in a forest. She also points out BotW:'s BotW:, reasoning that the NaN Sheikahs would not allow just anybody to carry it around. While attempting to remember stories of the NaN Championss, BotW: realizes that BotW: must be a man. Though men are not allowed within BotW:, BotW: decides to allow BotW: to stay, especially since he has offered to help them face BotW:.

BotW: informs BotW: that the NaN Gerudos have yet to find a way to appease BotW:. She reasons that if BotW: is truly a BotW:, he will be able to enter and calm BotW:. BotW: urges BotW: not to trust a stranger with such an important task, suggesting that he prove himself worthy by recovering the stolen BotW:. BotW: agrees with this suggestion, and she proceeds to explain that the BotW: is the only thing in BotW: that can withstand BotW:'s BotW:. However, she reveals that her family heirloom has been stolen. BotW: assures BotW: that, as a BotW:, BotW: should easily be able to retrieve the BotW:. She directs BotW: to BotW: in the BotW: nearby to learn more about the thieves. Before BotW: leaves, BotW: states that his arrival must be a sign that BotW: is looking out for them. This starts the "BotW:" BotW:.

If BotW: speaks to BotW: again, she expresses her disbelief that the BotW: could have been stolen, referring to it as the most discouraging event to ever occur in BotW:. BotW: believes that BotW: and her other ancestors are looking down on them with shame, and she wonders if her people can tell how powerless she is. BotW: intervenes, telling BotW: not to take it personally and that the soldiers and herself are to blame, commenting that she should have been more vigilant. BotW: then tells BotW: that she does not need to beat herself up about it.

Once BotW: returns from the BotW: with the BotW:, he will be directed to meet with BotW: outside of her BotW:. When BotW: approaches her, she is able to sense the power of the BotW: on his person. BotW: confesses her insecurities about becoming a leader at such a young age, claiming that she has tried to prove her worth to both her people and herself. As a result, the theft of the BotW: left her feeling disheartened. She once again credits BotW: for BotW:'s arrival in BotW:. BotW: then asks BotW: to hand her the BotW:. After equipping the BotW:, she quietly asks BotW: how she looks. This causes BotW: to recall the "BotW:" BotW:.

Once the BotW: ends, BotW: notes that BotW: is staring at her, but she proclaims this does not matter and reiterates her previous question. If BotW: tells BotW: it looks good, BotW: will be comforted, though it then proceeds to slightly slip off her head. If BotW: admits that the BotW: is too big for her, the BotW: slips off to the side, which BotW: makes a dry remark about.

Returning to the task at hand, BotW: admits that, with the threat of BotW: growing, she fears BotW: may soon become a target. She feels that, as both the chief and a BotW: herself, she is responsible for protecting her people, and she asks BotW: if he is willing to help her. BotW:'s simple assurance puts her at ease. BotW: tells BotW: to meet her at the BotW: to prepare for the attack on BotW:. Since the only way to approach BotW: is by riding a BotW:, BotW: suggests he ride one to the BotW: to get some practice. Both BotW: and BotW: will be waiting there for him. Before she leaves, the BotW: once again slips off her head, and she laments that it is too big.

When BotW: arrives to the BotW:, he will be able to find BotW: at the very top. If he is not wearing the BotW:, she notes that it is uncommon for her to meet a man. She then remarks that BotW: is intimidating, and she asks BotW: if he is ready to face it. If BotW: confirms that he is, BotW: goes over their plan, which involves drawing close to the BotW: with their NaN Sand Seals. Once he is close, BotW: must shoot its feet with NaN Bomb Arrows, which will disrupt its ability to draq energy from the ground. She also instructs BotW: to stay close to her to avoid getting shocked by BotW:, since the BotW: will be able to shield a small area around her. Should BotW: become too injured to keep going, BotW: tells him to return to the BotW:. Lastly, BotW: gives BotW: a bundle of 20 NaN Bomb Arrows to use during the fight.

BotW: then asks BotW: to once again confirm he is ready. When BotW: confirms that he is, the pair will depart for the BotW:. Before they begin, BotW: asks BotW: to give her some space. Holding her arms skyward, BotW: introduces herself as a descendant of the royal line and leader of the NaN Gerudos and declares that she will calm BotW:. She then gathers power by asking her ancestors to aid her. Green energy will then form a forcefield around BotW:, and she claims that she can feel her ancestors' power flowing through her. After fixing her askew BotW:, she declares that it is time for them to move. Turning away from BotW:, she asks BotW: to protect them both.

BotW: and BotW: then ride their NaN Sand Seals into BotW:'s BotW:. BotW: must ride close to BotW: in order to avoid being struck by BotW:. During the battle, BotW: will prompt BotW: about when to strike the BotW:'s feet. She will also warn him of impending BotW: strikes and urge him to stay close to her. Whenever BotW: deactivates one of the feet, BotW: will praise him.

After BotW: collapses, BotW: and BotW: regroup. Removing the BotW:, BotW: states that she is unable to appease BotW:, and she leaves the rest of the task to BotW:. As she watches BotW: enter the BotW:, she tells him not to let them down.

When BotW: returns to the BotW: after freeing BotW:, BotW: will be relieved to see him. Though she is still worried about the fate of BotW:, she is comforted to have dealt with the immediate threat to BotW:. As thanks for BotW:'s help, BotW: offers him the contents of two NaN Treasure Chests behind her BotW:, which she claims are priceless pieces of equipment that were once worn by Urbosa. She believes that it is right for BotW: to have them because he and BotW: were once friends. The NaN Treasure Chests contain the BotW: and the BotW:. Once BotW: and BotW:'s conversation ends, the "BotW:" BotW: will be completed.

Afterwards, BotW: will claim that she heard a voice calling her name while fighting BotW:, which she believes to have been BotW:. If BotW: responds by calling BotW: by her name, BotW: will scold him for doing so. However, BotW: tells BotW: to let it pass, since she enjoys hearing her name.

With BotW: calmed, BotW: makes a new entry in the BotW:, where she refers to BotW: as the answer to her prayers. She notes that, while BotW: was initially wary of BotW:, she trusts him after he was able to retrieve the BotW:. This surprises BotW:, since she has always known BotW: to follow the rules.

When BotW: examines the BotW: next to BotW:, BotW: will stop him, since his status as a hero does not permit him to take the heirloom. However, BotW: interjects, calming BotW: and asking BotW: if he desires the BotW:. If BotW: confirm that he wants it, BotW: claims that she is unable to give him something so precious. Since BotW: is facing that same enemy as BotW:, though, BotW: decides that she can lend it to him.

Should BotW: agree to borrow it, BotW: reveals that he must gain the trust of the NaN Gerudos in order to prove he is worthy of borrowing such a cultural treasure. To do this, he must bring peace back to BotW: by solving the problems of those who live there. This starts "BotW:" BotW:. BotW: reminds BotW: that he cannot fix BotW: with only power.

If BotW: speaks to BotW: while the BotW: is active, she states that some of BotW:'s power remains within the BotW:. As a result, she cannot allow BotW: to wield that power until he has proven himself to be a friend of the NaN Gerudos.

After "BotW:" is started, the final entry will appear in the BotW:. BotW: admits that she wanted to give him the BotW: outright, but she had to uphold the value it has to the NaN Gerudos. She recounts that she used to spend so much time worrying about the NaN Gerudos and whether she would be able to lead them, but she believes that BotW: helped her learn to look toward the future. One day, she hopes that the two of them can face each other in a BotW:.

After completing all of the NaN Side Quests in BotW:, BotW: can return to BotW:, who tells him that she has heard of his actions in delivering happiness to her people. BotW: thanks BotW: on behalf of her people, stating that he will always be a true friend of the Gerudo. As a reward, BotW: keeps her promise and lends BotW: the BotW:. BotW: assures BotW: that he will be able to use the BotW: to its full potential, and she believes he will be able to unlock the power of BotW: left inside.

Once "BotW:" is completed, BotW: will take up a daily schedule throughout the BotW:. In the mornings, she wakes up at 7:00 AM to head outside and speak with BotW:, which she previously did before BotW:'s rampage began. If BotW: speaks to her, she divulges that BotW: has the ability to deliver divine messages in return for BotW:, though she can only be understood by a select few. BotW:, who takes care of BotW:, notes that BotW: is returning to her regular self now that BotW: is safe.

When BotW: talks to BotW: during the day, she asks if he is still worried about BotW:'s safety. She also wonders if he is so comfortable in BotW: that he cannot imagine leaving. BotW: reminds BotW: that he is needed elsewhere and will need to leave eventually, though she welcomes him to stay in BotW: whenever he would like after saving BotW:. On her way to her BotW:, BotW: is relieved to have finished her work for the day. She recalls that affairs were hectic when BotW: was active, and she is relieved that BotW: was able to calm it.

At 8:00 PM, BotW: returns to her BotW:. While there, she plays with her NaN Sand-Seal Toies. If BotW: approaches her during this time, she will become embarrassed, telling him to ignore the NaN Sand-Seal Toies. She then turns on BotW:, calling him rude for entering someone's room at night. Later on in the night, she spends time reading the tablet in the back of the room, where she remarks that her mother's soul is always with her. She expresses her belief that her mother led BotW: to BotW: town in some way. While she is heading to bed at 3:00 AM, she will tell BotW: that he cannots stay in her BotW:. She instead directs him to the BotW:, which she has heard good things about. In her sleep, BotW: mumbles about her mother.

During Downloadable Content Pack, BotW: gains the ability to ask BotW: about BotW:. She reveals that the NaN Gerudos discovered BotW: after BotW: was calmed, and she learned that BotW: was friends with the late BotW:. When BotW: asks about the BotW:, BotW: discloses that it is in her BotW:, and she is certain BotW: would trust him to read it. At the end of their conversation, BotW: proclaims that BotW: is smiling upon them, and she resolves to protect the fragile peace of BotW:.

When the "BotW:" BotW: is active, BotW: is able to ask BotW: about the BotW: of the NaN Gerudos. Through this, she realizes that BotW: is attempting to challenge the same BotW: that BotW: did 100 years ago. She confesses that the BotW: was stolen by the BotW:, just as the BotW: was. Only BotW: and BotW: are aware that the BotW: is missing. Once again, BotW: asks BotW: to recover their treasure from the BotW:, allowing him to use the BotW: however he needs to in order to complete the BotW:. She contemplates that it may be fate that BotW: would recover the BotW: he needs for the BotW:, and she wishes him luck in doing so. BotW: apologizes for yet again having BotW: solve the problems of the NaN Gerudos, but she says that she is counting on him.

With the older Gerudo Chief baffled by her sudden presence, Riju insists that they should focus on the fight first and foremost.

Master Kohga is flabbergasted that Urbosa actually struck him so easily despite having it while Urbosa shoots back that it would take him a hundred years for him to figure it out, and Kohga pitches a fit and claims that he will have it even if it took him that long before vanishing, allowing both Gerudo Chiefs to catch a break.

In the Each Step Like Thunder Scenario, after Akkala Citadel was successfully defended by Vah Ruta and Vah Rudania, Riju joins Urbosa and is disheartened by the nightmarish scene, though Urbosa tells her that she shouldn't need to have a defeatist attitude, but Riju still isn't convinced by this.

Riju is only slightly relaxed about this as Urbosa asks for her hand, which Riju accepts as they go into battle.
