Biography
Pipit has a strong sense of honor and duty and is dedicated to his work. He was the winner of the previous year's Wing Ceremony, winning in a close race.[5] He patrols around the Knight Academy at night with the aim of keeping Skyloft safe, but also to help finance his education.[6] His family does not seem to be well off financially, which has led to a strained relationship with his mother Mallara, who spends the Rupees he gives her paying Link to clean her home instead of buying food and doing the cleaning herself.[7]
Pipit has a romantic interest in classmate Karane, which is revealed if Link gives her Cawlin's Letter and tells Pipit about it. Wishing to know what she intends to do,[8] Pipit realizes he loves her and rushes over to find her just as she is giving Cawlin a reply.[9] Pipit intervenes and asks her to go out with him instead,[10] to which she hesitantly accepts in an effort to prevent breaking Cawlin's heart.[11]
After that, they will begin dating. Pipit thanks Link for helping him find true love and gives him five Gratitude Crystals. Karane will admire Pipit even more,[12] and thanks Link for his role, but she still feels sorry for how things turned out for Cawlin.[13] Afterwards, by sitting on a bench seat in the front row of the classroom, Link can listen to Karane and Pipit discussing their relationship as well as how Karane wants to visit his mother,[14] much to Pipit's dismay.[15]
