The Sheikah race was by far one of the most mysterious races among the core within Hyrule - but the strangest part of it all was their unflinching loyalty to the Royal Family of Hyrule. You are born to serve until you die - at least - that's what they always told you.
[break][break]
Aizen Kai was born into the traditional Sheikah village of Kakariko, where her family served under the Royal King for generations. It was said that the Kai Clan had served since the days of the original Goddess, however it was only orally passed on, rather than given fact with texts. She lived a generally normal Sheikah lifestyle - spending most of her days training and learning what it had meant to become a Sheikah.
[break][break]
During this time, they were planning for the eventual union of every race within Hyrule's border under one banner - many of which objected to and apparently disagreed with. It was a Sheikah's duty to bear this burden with silence though, and despite many who thought this a tyrannical or dangerous plan, they were forced to keep their emotions about it hidden.
[break][break]
Aizen was among one of these people. She believed that each race had the right to rule on their own, though she was not stupid enough as to open her mouth and ask questions. She knew what it meant to be Sheikah, and by divine law, she was required to serve under the Royal Banner.
[break][break]
Aizen finished her training at the age of 20, at which point they had begun their scour to hand pick the best Sheikah for protecting each of the Royal Family. The council themselves were responsible with such a task, and any Sheikah were not chosen were simply left to be normal guards of the castle, who watched from the shadows.
[break][break]
Those who were not bound to the royal member for life only had to serve 75 years before retiring. The family had been small this time - just one boy, whom was heir to the throne. Only after he was married and had one child did they begin to choose others. Each of these times, Aizen was never chosen.
[break][break]
When it had come to that time where they would select a Sheikah for the princess, Aizen was outvoted by another Sheikah close in age - Impa. The two of them had butted heads for most of their training due to their competitiveness with outdoing each other, but as time passed, they grew to be fond of each other, eventually becoming the best of friends.
[break][break]
And lovers.
[break][break]
Though disappointed that she was not picked for the duty, she was happy for Impa - though that happiness did not last for very long. With the birth of the princess, war had overshadowed the kingdom. It had seemed that several Sheikah had turned on the Royal Family in disagreement with their conquest for the rest of Hyrule. Their first act was to kill the queen, whom had still been resting post partum.
[break][break]
The Sheikah did not act alone though. Rebels from every race - especially the Gerudo Tribe had come forward to wage war upon the Royal Banners, and Aizen was forced to the front lines to fight alongside - and against her own people.
[break][break]
When the war had ended, the casualty count seemed endless, and many of the Sheikah were killed in battle. It was evident after these events that they were now considered an "endangered race". Any and all able bodied Sheikah were now required to serve the throne, even if they had retired. Impa went on to serve, not only as the attendant to Zelda, but as a mother as well.
[break][break]
Their relationship had strained from the war. With the looming darkness that would follow now that the Gerudo have made their obvious efforts against them, Aizen had been put upon a special forces squad. She often traveled away from the castle, while Impa was left to care for the child.
[break][break]
Upon Aizen's return home after months of being away, an interesting discovery was made. A young boy, claimed to be of the Kokiri Forest had forced his way into the castle, claiming that he has seen what will happen, and stopped it all with the Ocarina of Time. He had gathered the spiritual stones, wielded the Master Sword, and stopped the King of the Gerudo... only to be sent back in time to warn the King.
[break][break]
He named each of the sages required to keep them safe, as well as gave every detail of his time in the future to the Royal Family, before the King then demanded war and the execution of Ganondorf.
[break][break]
In this time, Impa was left with one revelation - she was the Shadow Sage, and her duty was to protect it until the war had ended. And as such she felt she could no longer give Aizen what she wanted. She asked for the care of Kakariko Village to be left with the council on the sole exception that Aizen no longer be sent to fight on the front lines, to lend her knowledge to the council themselves, as well as keep the peace in Kakariko between the Hylians and remaining Sheikah.
[break][break]
Aizen was outraged, to say the least. She felt insulted that she was not even given the choice to fight, have her love taken away, and now she was left to watch over a town that was slowly dwindling its numbers.
[break][break]
Of course, after the events of the Gerudo War, Impa was able to return from the temple, however it was as though she were completely different. All the time she spent in isolation, praying and away from the company of others had made her grow colder and without need for conversation, and while Aizen was relieved to hear of her safety, Impa could not give her the time of day. She simply had to return to her duties as attendant to Princess Zelda.
[break][break]
Heartbroken, now having lost her family in the war and the only friend and lover she ever knew, she was left only with the duty of serving under the Sheikah Council, which had taken quite an interest in her due to her wisdom and skill. Despite not even being a century old yet, they had decided among themselves that she would benefit their future needs, and asked her to join them.
[break][break]
Aizen was always more of a fighter though - and the thought of sitting around with a bunch of old men and women and deciding the fate of their people sounded dreadfully boring. But she knew that she had a promise to keep to Impa - and despite their newfound differences and separation, she intended to keep it.
[break][break]
And so, Aizen served the Sheikah council, for many, many years. Over those years she had witnessed the near extinction of her people, and their eventual growth once more, as well as the death of Impa, when she was taken just before the Twilight invasion.
[break][break]
Just after the Twilight Invasion, a sudden change in law had been placed that Kakariko Village would no longer be housing anyone other than the Sheikah race - and anyone who refused to leave would be forced out. Though Aizen tried to protest, it was ultimately agreed on behind her back by the rest of the council. She had no idea why, and there was no explanation as for what would come next.
[break][break]
Little did she know that the council had sent out specialists to kill any remaining people whom were living within the village who had not listened. It was the final straw for Aizen, but when she confronted them of their wrongdoing, she was met with expulsion.
[break][break]
There wasn't even a warning. The council members had simply stated that if she felt the need to argue with her elders, perhaps she did not belong.
[break][break]
But rather than simply leaving the council to return to her original duties, she decided to leave the Kingdom completely.
[break][break]
Marked an undesirable within Hyrule's bounds, she is no longer welcome in the eyes of the council, though she sneaks around every so often to keep an eye on how things are going. Perhaps that is how she got noticed by one of the previous rulers of Holodrum. Upon exile, she arrived here, where she had heard several other Sheikah considered to be undesirable had fled as well (if they were not banished to the Twilight Realm, that is), but to properly avoid any kind of humiliation of running into anyone she recognized, she had ultimately decided to disguise as a male and shorten her name from Aizen to Aiz.
[break][break]
Overtime, she earned titles from the previous rulers, as the appointed mercenary, to appointed knight, to hand of the king. It seems she had only left one Royal Family for another.
[break][break]
She's seen now three separate incarnations of the Princess and her Hero, each being remarkable in their own way, and yet she still felt as though she were talking to the same little girl she met when she was just a young woman herself.

+ Night Vision: All Sheikah are able to see in the dark if they possess crimson colored eyes; however, they will glow in the darkness, making Sheikah a target for attacks if the others cannot see in the shadows.
[break][break]
+ Lens of Truth: Sheikah have a natural ability to resist illusionary magic of equal or lower rank of their arcane trait.
[break][break]
+ Weak to Light: Sheikah are weak to light attacks due to their natural ability to thrive with shadow based magic. Due to this, they will take extra damage to light magic.
[break][break]
NIGHTFALL SEMBLANCE: This illusion requires both nighttime and eye contact to be performed, trapping the target within an illusion completely under the user's control. This results in the victim suffering psychological trauma that incapacitates them for a considerable period of time. She is unable to bring harm to these people - and therefore must stay still to continue keeping eye contact, however, it is useful to instill fear in someone, often used for defense. It does not work on Sheikah of higher rank, and can be easily countered by distracting or removing Aizen's eye contact.
[break][break]
KINGSLAYER: A sword which she used to slay King Galadhion during his execution, which was witnessed among all the Kingdoms after he had gone mad and overtook Hyrule. Aizen was chosen to be the executionist due to her neutrality and ability to collect herself in high stress situations.
