Biography
Before the Wing Ceremony, he asks for Link's help retrieving Zelda's remlit, Mia, who has climbed atop the academy's roof. Horwell explains that, although Mia looks harmless, he lets the Remlit roam free outside at night since the creature transforms into a vicious monster.

After Link's Loftwing is kidnapped by Groose, Headmaster Gaepora informs Horwell about the incident so that he may delay the Wing Ceremony. When Horwell learns of this, he reassures Link not to worry about the race, pointing out that he owes the young hero for having recovered Mia for him.

Once all 80 of the Gratitude Crystals have been recovered, Horwell will be wandering around Skyloft with Mia as she will no longer exhibit any of her previous aggressive behavior.
