She is somewhat conservative, but is very popular among her male peers.

Biography
Karane has a keen interest in Pipit and sometimes wonders how she can capture his attention. She will often ask Link for his opinion on Pipit. If Link tells her that he is nice, she will begin listing his good points, but if she is questioned, she will become flustered. When Link does something, like learn the Spiral Charge or obtain his tunic, she compliments him, then goes on to say that Pipit can do better.

If Link delivers a love letter from Cawlin, she will initially think it's from Pipit. She comments on the bad handwriting and discovers that Cawlin sent it. Although she appreciates the effort that went into the letter, she laughs at the thought of entering a relationship with the boy and wonders what Pipit would think of the situation.

If Link talks to Pipit about this, he also becomes flustered, and mentions that he should make sure she experiences "true, passionate love".

When Link returns to Karane, she will be confronted by Cawlin. She compliments him on his letter and thanks him. He asks her if she would go out with him, and just as she is about to reply, Pipit runs in, shouting that she should go out with him instead. She hesitantly accepts his offer in an effort to prevent breaking Cawlin's heart.

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,, and thanks Link for his role, but she still feels sorry for how things turned out for Cawlin. Afterwards, Link can listen to Karane and Pipit discussing their relationship as well as how Karane wants to visit Pipit's mother, much to Pipit's dismay.
