Try to be original! Don't submit a character who looks like an existing cannon character.•
Check the group for ideas if you are struggling.•
Make sure their clothes are appropriate - ALL RACES MUST WEAR CLOTHES▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Got any specific questions about your character? Check the - FAQ ▲ ▲ ▲ 5 - Design your Loftwing

.Pink

(Please note that WHILE Loftwings have multicolored accents on their tips, PLEASE do not include more than FOUR colors on their main body! We don't want to see rainbow coloured Loftwings! Loftwing beaks should stay around the golden/yellow range!)If you would like to go the extra step and do a more detailed reference of your loftwing but have a hard time drawing birds you can use the following reference:
Loftwing Reference6 - Choose a non-lethal Weapon
Non-lethal Weapon - Choose 1
Place this in your main weapon slot
▲ Boomerang (weapon) - Throw if your bored, or use it to retrieve things. Can also be used as a weapon, but don't throw it at your fellow students!
▲ Slingshot (Weapon)- used for shooting things. Don't aim it anyone's face!
-Note that if you choose a slingshot, you will have to put a seed bag in one of your three available slots, dropping your item count to 2.
▲ Wooden Sword (weapon) - You can't hurt anyone with this, more of a stick to hit people with. Wooden swords are entirely blunt but are useful for training and deflecting.
▲ Wooden Club (weapon) - A blunt bludgeoning weapon, larger then a sword it is ideal for Gorons and Gerudo!
7 - Choose 3 Items
Personal items - Choose 3
Place these in your equipped items slots
▲ Bug Net - For catching bugs. Made of wood and net
▲ Empty Bottle- Empty bottle rules from any Zelda game apply. You can put virtually anything in them. The only potions available are the ones you can find in the bazaar.
▲ Magic Bean- Plant in some soft dirt and see what grows! Make sure to water it. There are numerous magic beans. Anything could sprout from it!
▲ Pictograph Box- A new fangled contraption used for capturing the moment. Can hold a maximum of 5 photographs that you have to take to the photographer to get developed.
▲
Fishing Rod - Useful for catching fish and bugs! You can upgrade it to be able to catch bigger fish!
▲
Cooking pot - A small metal cooking pot for making meals (or potions when you level up) on the go.
▲ Wooden Shield - Use it to defend from attacks, it's not very strong though so will break if hit too hard and will set on fire in hot climates. You cannot shield surf on it.
▲ Candle- For lighting your way in the dark or starting a fire. But the last thing we need around here is a bunch of little arsonists, so use it wisely!
(PLEASE make your candle look like a candle! It's not a torch or a fancy lantern, it's a candle, you can have a holder for it but make sure this is practical!)!!
