Here's Impa! Of the three ladies on this Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity hype train so far, she's the only one who is sort of new. She was in Breath of the Wild yes, but she was much older then. I believe this is the youngest we've ever seen an Impa... though how old she is specifically is unknown. She definitely appears to be around her granddaughter Paya's age though during the events of Breath of the Wild.

Speaking of Paya, talk about family resemblance. She definitely inherited her looks from her grandmother, and that is certainly a compliment. They're not the exact same. And personality-wise, they are definitely different. Impa is much more confident and self-assured. That's not a dig at Paya for being more shy and reserved. Variety is good after all.

I was excited when the game was announced, obviously, but in part because we can now explore the sisterly relationship between Impa and her older sister Purah (even if Nintendo doesn't have time to). I took a crack at it here, figuring Purah's more eccentric and casual personality would lead her to tease and fluster the more traditional and straight-laced Impa. I also took a little dive into her relationship with Zelda, but not too much as I want to see what the story actually has to offer. Overall though, a fun write with a recurring character I've written before, but I don't usually write as pred or prey (though she has been pred before).
