Character Name:ocariness [AU] | Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 01) Why, yes. Yes, she does! She probably also has a nearly entirely pure heart, actually, as per being the protag Hero of Time and all. It comes with the job description and fighting evil thing. Plus, she kind of conquered "herself" in the Water Temple, which I assumed would've been her impurities or... something idk.
02) DEFINITELY a 1. If anything higher, a 2 at most. The worst she has are some self-doubts and worries but those are completely normal; she was chosen for her heart and courage by the Goddesses (creators) of her world/universe and carries a piece of a sacred ~magic~ relic called the Triforce (Courage, to be precise; it's part of a triad consisting of Power, Courage, and Wisdom), meaning she deserves it/is pure enough to wield it. ... She just doesn't KNOW that yet. Plus, only the pure of Heart can... really wield the Master Sword, which is her special sword. It houses the power to repel any sort of darkness, evil, or demonic stuff, so don't be shocked to find her nearly as Light-sided as you can get. Heck, from what I know of KH, she'd probably make a good Princess of Heart.
... I apologize beforehand for the tl;dr but Minato is--complicated. orz;; 01) Yes, but there's actually... kind of two souls? This is where it gets complicated. Minato has a figment (a piece, of sorts) of Death sealed inside him that manifests in the form of one of his two Personas: Thanatos. It's dangerous and unwieldly and has a consciousness all its own, not to mention that during Full Moons and at nights, a certain piece of Death takes the form of an amnesiac Ghostchild that talks to him. His Persona (Samael) is an extension of his soul, but it's also sort of an entity all to itself? So... more like two souls and then a vague copy of his original Soul that has it's own mind and feelings and is wielded/used for protection, a manifestation of himself/his psyche.
I... can explain this further but as I've only played a bit into KH1, I'm unsure as to how relevant it'll even be. If you need to work this out with me, just say so; I'm up to it.
02) It's probably a 3. Minato has killed many times over--to the point that it no longer even bothers him. He and Strega function as hitmen, but he generally decides on the hits (he never kills innocents if he can help it) and does it himself, as well as cleans up the mess. He's entrenched in illegal activities in his home world as well (it's not a stretch to say Strega also sells certain drugs aside from Persona Suppressors along with things like guns and bombs and whatnot), so that's probably not what you'd call pure light of any sort.
... On the other hand, Minato is a good kid (they all really are, in the end) who just happened to get caught up in a lot of experimentation and suffering after the death of his family (or so he thinks; only his sister is still alive) and he broke his friends out of the lab they were kept in. But he's a wanted guy for it and they all are; the problem is, they don't know any other way to live, so even if they're not BAD kids, murder, illegal activities, stealing, etc. is just... their daily life. They're all morally ambiguous, to be honest.
TL;DR: It's a 3 because there's definitely some darkness and moral ambiguity, but he's mostly a good kid with a kind nature who would, say, save a cat from a tree and would rather die to save his friends than lose what precious time left he has with them.
03) I don't... think so? Minato REEKS of Death--as in, the God/Physical State/Desire for it, you could find him from miles away. But it's vague... he probably reeks of Darkness, but not in the way Riku would be used to, I think? It's not Darkness that's evil, and there'd be an underlying Light sort of... within it, I suppose you could say.
S-sob I'm sorry for the length of this ahsdflskjdhg.
