Riju

Lady Riju is the Chief of the Gerudo. She is a young Gerudo child who inherited the throne at 14 years old after her mother passed away. Riju was her mother's only child, causing the duties of leading the Gerudo to fall to her. The people of Anku are worried about being ruled by a child, making Riju question if she will ever live up to their expectations.

After her mother died of an illness, Riju was set to take her place when a civil war broke out. Led by the sorceress Cia and backed by the Yiga Clan, a rogue group of Gerudo warriors seized the throne and tried to murder Riju.

Riju managed to barely escape alive with head of the royal guard Nabooru, after Urbosa sacrificed herself to buy them time. Desolated, they escaped Gerudo Desert following Urbosa's last orders: "Go to Kakariko, find Mako".

Once in Kakariko, Mako would help them resolve the conflict. While he would not leave his family, he escorted them both to meet with Dawn, who would immediately leave to Anku and stop Cia.

During their time together, Mako would support Riju and teach her on the role of leaders and how their appearance and attitude are important to their people.
