A Sheikah begins with a [[PWC]] of 1/1/3, having a 3 in Courage. This starting PWC can be defied by using the [[Exception]] [[racial perk]] during character creation, but even with it, a Sheikah can never be created with a Courage below 2.

A Shrikah has an innate racial perk called [[Foreign Language]], which grants it mastery over the Ancient Hyrulean language as well as the more common Hyrulean tongue. In addition to this, a Sheikah character can have up to three additional [[racial perk]]s of choice. In addition to the general perks available to every race, a Sheikah can also choose from:
* [[Barrier]]: a defensive spell which creates a momentary barrier useful for blocking attacks
* [[Deku Nut Supply]]: a supply of small nuts which can be thrown onto the ground to create blinding flashes, useful for creating a diversion
* [[Hylian Heritage]]: enables the Sheikah to gain one racial perk that would otherwise be a [[Race:Hylian|Hylian]] racial perk
* [[Mask of Truth]]: a strange but useful item which enables its wearer to speak with animals and [[Gossip Stone]]s, among other effects
* [[Needle Storm]]: a spell which enables the Sheikah to manifest large throwing needles useful for attacking in close combat or from a short distance
* [[Pirate's Charm]]: a useful item which magically enables long distance travel between the Sheikah and the holder of this stone

-The origin of the Sheikah race is unknown, but many believe it was a magically enhanced version of [[Hylian]]s created centuries ago for the sole purpose of serving as bodyguards and assassins directly to the Hyrulean Royal Family.  This may still be the case with some Sheikah, or it may be nothing but a rumor. However, there is some evidence to this belief; largely in some known clans training their children from birth in what becomes known to them as 'Sheikah reconnaissance bullshit'.

However, there is some evidence to this belief, as several known clans train their children from birth for such purposes.
 Regardless, it is apparent that a group of Sheikah were in the past somehow modified from Hylians--whether that be a natural genetic mutation, or one introduced artificially as through magic.  In fact, many Sheikah unwittingly think of themselves as normal Hylians.  Knowingly or not, most of these Sheikah have interbred with Hylians--and as such their line has become diluted, with only extremely rare Hylians exhibiting the Sheikah's trademark traits.

+Sheikah are essentially a special type of [[Hylian]] with a secretive history not even Sheikah themselves seem to fully understand.  Physically Sheikah are very similar to Hylians, with the only obvious difference being that Sheikah always has eyes of a crimson or violet color.  More subtely, Sheikah tend to be far more courageous, confident, and willful than their Hylian brethren.  Sheikah are infamous for being secretive and dutiful, often making them excellent spies, assassins, and theives.  Despite their infamy, most of the world questions whether Sheikah truly exist, or if they are nothing but an erratic rumor spread about girls with odd-colored eyes.
