#The main point of this is me wondering if Ghirahim was created by Hylia | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Ghirahim and Fi were Sheikah/siblings

Look at them dancing. Does it not give dramatic sibling energy?

This is just a headcanon I have (and love) that I wanted to put some maybe-possible-could-be evidence or clues behind. Honestly all of these points could just be coincidences and it's definitely not definitive or anything, but I wanted to put them in a post anyway. (Also assume that Fi and Ghirahim were people before becoming sword spirits, and weren't just created out of nothing.)

Hair colour: One obvious thing we can bring up is that Ghirahim's hair is white, which we now know is a Sheikah thing. Though some Sheikah in botw have more grey-ish hair than white, and Impa also has blonde hair in SS, so there probably is some slight variation to it. (Impa could also maybe be half-Sheikah like Grante(son) from botw.)

(This is easily refutable by saying the Sheikah probably don't have a monopoly on white hair, but good thing this post is not at all based on hard evidence.) Anyway his hair is white that's all I have.

Fashion: in SS, people of the same "area" wear similar clothes: for example, several Skyloft npcs wear the same sort of cape over their shoulders. Most of these capes are almost the exact same of the same length and style, but different colours. Basically people that live close together obviously have the same fashion or similar clothing.

Now, three other characters (who are from the same era) wear longer capes: Ghirahim, Fi and Impa. What's especially interesting is the similarity between Impa's and Fi's capes, both covering one or two arms and being really long.

This might technically be evidence that they're from the same area/group/tribe etc, as their fashion sense is similar. And since Impa is Sheikah, that would make them all Sheikah. (The capes don't look alike like Skyloft capes do, but maybe it's because they're main characters and they're all specialTM, or it means absolutely nothing.)

The earring: One thing about Ghirahim's design stands out. Normally, Ghirahim wears a red cape and white bodysuit. Then a single blue diamond-shaped earring. It's a bit odd, isn't it? The villain's colour schemes/designs are mostly made up of white, black and red. (Even Demise is just black and red.) And blue specifically is associated with one other character.

Does he wear it in memory of Fi? She claims to not know who he is at all (which in general is a bit weird since they're from the same era) but maybe he does remember her. (He also wears purple eyeshadow, which is another colour associated with Fi, but that seems less significant to me.)

More similarities: in Ghirahim's more "sword spirit" form, his hair takes on an incredibly similar shape to Fi's. It's almost her hair but mirrored and slightly shorter. It makes me wonder, if Fi has a "human form," would her hair be like Ghirahim's? Longer, and maybe covering her right eye?

I mostly just like the angst of them being mirrors of each other: siblings, or maybe even twins, being on opposite sides of Hylia's and Demise's war, and meeting the same fate. Both became weapons for what they believed in.

You could headcanon Fi as the younger sibling (the devs said in Hyrule Historia that she's supposed to look around 13-14 and Ghirahim does definitely not look that age). Unless! You wanna say that Fi turned into a sword spirit first, and Ghirahim many years later. Maybe Demise needed some practice and failed his first few attempts. (What a loser.) (Also imagine becoming a weapon in a war at 14. Maybe she was the only one that volunteered because she was too young to fully understand the consequences. Hylia would also be a loser for that one.)

Hope u enjoyed this small post!! Do whatever you want with all this information <3

And here are some sketches I made of them as Sheikah/siblings/sword spirits:
