Here is another of my trainsonas, this time for Princess Zelda (BOTW version) from The Legend of Zelda series.

Zelda is a fairly powerful, medium-sized passenger with a large boiler, a short funnel and dome, fairly large driving wheels, and a light blue livery with white and brown lining (based on her Breath Of The Wild outfit), which was previously fuchsia with gold and purple lining (based on her Ocarina of Time outfit), then purple with white lining (based on her Twilight Princess outfit), with a gold Triforce insignia on each side of her cab and tender. Before coming to Sodor, Zelda was the private engine of the royal family of Hyrule, having been named by the king and queen after their daughter. In 1948, she officially became a member of the NWR fleet, although she still remains property of the Hyrule royal family. Since then, she is mostly seen pulling passenger trains, but is occasionally seen hauling goods. Her favorite place on Sodor is Ulfstead Castle, which reminds her of her home, Hyrule. In terms of personality, Zelda is a brave, yet naturally kind engine, although she can be a bit gullible, which sometimes leads her into trouble. Besides that, she is a wise engine that the younger engines look up to, which makes her a valuable asset of the North Western Railway. Zelda's best friend is Link, who she sees as a younger brother, while her other friends include Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Pauline, Wario (sometimes), Samus, Pit, Palutena, Captain Falcon, Thomas, Emily, Edward, Gordon, James, Eleven, Jade, Hendrik, Sylvando, Henry, Molly, Rebecca, Peter, Richard, Geoffrey, Lily, Murdoch, Belldandy, Keiichi, Goku, Kakashi, Choji, Percy, Skarloey, Rheneas, Millie, Stephen, Samson, Sailor Venus and Rose, and her enemies include Ganondorf, Staven, Bowser, Diesel 10, Devious Diesel, Bert and 'Arry, D199, Alfred, Ganondorf, Black Shadow, Medusa, Queen Beryl, Nnoitra, Aizen, Shigaraki, Hody, Mordegon, Jasper and Sayoko. Zelda has three coaches named Din, Nayru and Farore, a luggage van named Impa, and a brakevan named Medli.

Fun Fact: The basis for Zelda's engine form is the LNER D49 4-4-0 with an LNER Gresley Group Standard 6-wheeled tender. Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built between 1927-1937, these powerful three-cylinder engines, resembling 4-4-0 versions of the B17 "Footballer" 4-6-0s, were used for intermediate express trains on former North Eastern and North British lines in North-Eastern England and South-Eastern Scotland, respectively. This class was divided into two main subclasses; the "Shires" with Walschaert's valve gears with slide valves, and the "Hunts" with Lentz rotary cam poppet valves, with a third subclass of six engines incorporating both features, but all had 6' 8" driving wheels, three 17×26in cylinders, and a boiler pressure of 180lbs. The D49s were all passed onto BR ownership in 1948, and were used until the last engine was withdrawn in 1961. While all of the "Hunts" were scrapped, one of the "Shires", No.246 Morayshire is preserved at the Scottish Railway Preservation Society at Falkirk.
