Nabooru is a modern name created for a female Gerudo warrior in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Fans of the game believe it to be a variant of the Japanese name for boys Noboru, which has meanings like "rise," "climb," "ascend," and "rising sun." Nabooru is a Sage of Spirit and also describes herself as a "lone wolf thief." A story like Ocarina of Time could surely be enough inspiration for your little warrior to last a lifetime.
