Quests	Cawlin's Love Letter

		His name is Cawlin, and he is an ambitious and self-centered classmate of yours at the Knight Academy, Master. He is always looking to exploit a situation for his own benefit. He is a schemer, though he makes few overt moves.

Cawlin is a character in Skyward Sword. He attends the Knight Academy and is friends with Groose and Strich. He and Strich help Groose tease and bully Link early on in his adventure.

Appearance and Personality

Cawlin is a short and plump young boy. He often wears a smug face and speaks with little manners. Cawlin is rather self-centered, only tackling a situation if it benefits himself in some way. Instead of leading, Cawlin chooses to follow and act as the first of Groose's two lackeys. Cawlin often follows Groose's example. Even though he shows little emotion, Cawlin later experiences love and, even later, depression.

Role in the Plot

At first, Cawlin is simply a flunky under Groose, meant to be a second or third opinion for his leader. Cawlin impedes Link during the Wing Ceremony by first helping Groose and Stritch sabotage Link by capturing his Crimson Loftwing, and then impeding him by throwing eggs at him in the race itself.

After Zelda disappears and Link embarks on his adventure, Groose's gang is temporarily split up. Groose locks himself in his room and mourns (later falling to the surface world) and Stritch spends his time at the Lumpy Pumpkin and expands his bug collection, leaving Cawlin to mosey around the Knight Academy's hallways. Cawlin later falls in love with Karane, another student at the Knight Academy. Cawlin asks Link to deliver a love letter for him. If Link chooses to do so, Cawlin later expresses his love openly to Karane, but is denied as Karane chooses Pipit instead. Cawlin experiences extreme depression after being rejected, locking himself in Groose's room (which Groose no longer occupies) and cries himself to sleep at night, muttering "stupid Pipit..."

Alternatively, Link can deliver the love letter to Phoeni, a ghostly hand in the restroom that "needs paper". If this is done, the ghost will haunt Cawlin at night, while telling Link the letter was so romantic she thinks Cawlin is her true love. At day he will be on his bed complaining of bad dreams while at night the ghost hand will be hovering over him while he scream/whines in his sleep.
