Demon Lord Ghirahim

Ghirahim is a demon lord of the demon tribe.

He is a very tall man, with a pale-white complexion, short white hair and a crimson cloak around his shoulders. His purpose is to resurrect his master, Demise who is the embodiment of Evil. The Demon searches for Zelda, a Hylian from Skyloft who is reincarnation of the goddess Hylia. He also wears large amounts of makeup the most prominent of it being his heavy lilac eyeshadow, black winged eyeliner and white lipstick. He wears a tight body suit, decorated with diamonds which expose his skin. He wears a golden belt and bracelet upon his right upper arm, white gloves that lead up to his arms, and wears a single blue diamond upon his exposed right elven ear.

He needs her divine soul to ressurect Demise. Diamonds is his thing. Link, the chosen hero of the goddess Hylia is his sworn enemy, he gets in the way from his objective. Ghirahim is flamboyant, classy, overconfident, smooth-talker, and somewhat perverted. Likes to gets up-close and in person for intimidation. Can get angry and outraged when things don't go his way, leading him to bloodlust.

With a snap of his fingers, he can teleport, leaving a flurry of diamonds behind him. Anyone young that comes from Skyloft, is typically referred to as "Skychild"

His weapon is the Demon Blade, the black scimitar sword. His style is very fast, relying on teleportation tricks and odd moves that take his opponent off guard. He is capable of creating daggers from thin air to use as projectiles, conjuring a ceiling to slam into enemies with his mind, and transforming into his true form. He has a unique mechanic where he can tie his opponent to a red string, opening up new, more powerful combos. While fast and strong, a flaw of Ghirahim is that he is so narcissistic that he poses after many of his moves, leaving him open to retaliation. However, this flaw can be somewhat mitigated by the fact that Ghirahim is capable of simply dodging in order to cancel several of his poses, allowing him to continue fighting.

He is a figure of authority in the land below Skyloft, and he thinks quite highly of himself, preferring to be called Lord Ghirahim. His main objective is continuously hunting for Zelda, in order to use her spirit as a goddess for his plan to resurrect his master, Demise. Although at first Ghirahim thinks little of Link and his presence, the Demon Lord grows frustrated and erratic as he realizes the young hero is an obstacle to his plans.

Ghirahim is portrayed as a flamboyant, seemingly calm, and overconfident opponent whose only goal is to capture Zelda and use her to revive Demise, his master. His mannerisms are exaggerated and theatrical, speaking in an eloquent and flashy style when addressing others. Ghirahim is also conceited and vain when it comes to flaunting his own appearance, which he regards as "stunning," "exquisite," and "pure." He acts formally and politely towards Link, at first claiming to be "uncivil" since he had not yet properly introduced himself to the young hero when they first met. Despite this, he is not above insulting others and calling them juvenile names, mocking them at any chance he gets. Since he considers himself to be superior to humans and an honorable fighter, he at first chooses not to murder Link immediately, as it would be unfair for the young hero. Nonetheless, Ghirahim enjoys toying with others and making them suffer until he has been satisfied.

However, when things do not go the way he plans, the Demon Lord loses his composure and becomes an erratic, violent fiend who seeks to take out his anger on someone else while satisfying his "strong appetite for bloodshed." In reality, Ghirahim shows himself to be a merciless and uncontrollable lunatic who merely hungers for battle and the brutal massacre of his enemies. This is demonstrated several times; he first claims that he will beat Link to within an inch of his life,promises to deafen his ears with the shrill sound of his own screams and says that he will beat Link senseless to deliver a final blow, thus snuffing out the flame of his life. Despite all his disturbing and ruthless threats, Ghirahim can never best Link and becomes incredibly frustrated, outraged, and aggravated at the fact that a mere human could defeat him.

After Link wins the Wing Ceremony, Ghirahim summons a tornado near Skyloft, which sucks up Zelda in an attempt to capture the Spirit Maiden. However, those plans fail to come to fruition due to Impa's intervention. Ghirahim and Link, both pursuing Zelda, initially meet in the Skyview Temple, where the young hero finds the Demon Lord attempting to open the door leading to the Skyview Spring. Angered by the turn of events, Ghirahim vents his irritation by engaging Link in combat. He promises to not murder the young hero, as it would be unfair, and instead decides to beat Link within an inch of his life. Despite the threats, Link defeats Ghirahim, who is surprised at Link's skills but reminds him that the Goddess Sword is the only reason he is still alive. With Zelda's presence gone, Ghirahim leaves, but not before warning Link that he would kill him if their paths crossed again.

Ghirahim constantly pursues Zelda and nearly captures her on several occasions. In one instance, Zelda is captured by Bokoblin forces, but upon Ghirahim's arrival, he discovers that Impa has rescued her. After venting about the situation to Link, he summons Scaldera to take his frustration out on him and leaves.

Later, Ghirahim nearly reaches her at the Temple of Time at the edge of Lanayru Desert, where he interrupts Link and Zelda's reunion by making his way in through the debris. Creating a barrier to prevent Link from interfering, he goes after Zelda but is stopped by a protective barrier created by Impa. Ghirahim, however, is eventually able to break through Impa's defense and readies to deliver the final blow when Link, with Ghirahim's barrier fully vanished, intercedes by attacking the Demon Lord from behind. This gives enough time for Impa and Zelda to escape through the Gate of Time, with the former fully obliterating the gate to impede Ghirahim from following them. Blaming himself for not having reprimanded Link in their last encounter, Ghirahim vows to severely crush Link senseless next time they meet.

At the Ancient Cistern, Ghirahim is waiting for Link, once again expressing his frustration due to Link's constant interference. Before disappearing, he infuses a statue with dark energy, causing it to attack Link. Later, Ghirahim appears to Link again at the Fire Sanctuary, where he claims their frequent encounters are due to the "thread of fate" to which they are bound. The Demon Lord then explains his joy and relief at his discovery of a second Gate of Time and, although he had promised to violently punish Link, he decides to spare the young hero's life should he reveal the location of said gate. When Link refuses, Ghirahim reveals his second form and admires himself before the two engage in battle again, claiming that he will have no mercy on the young hero. However, Link emerges victorious in the end, irritating and humiliating Ghirahim since he, a Demon Lord, was unable to defeat him and keeps on being bested by a human child. Before retreating, he reminds Link that he is still nothing and will drag him into "an eternity of torment" at all costs.
