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. He patrols around the Academy at night with the aim of keeping Skyloft safe, but also to help finance his education. His family does not seem to be well off financially, which has led to a strained relationship with his mother Mallara, who spends the money he gives her paying Link to clean her home instead of buying food and doing the cleaning herself.

Pipit also has a romantic interest in classmate Karane, which is revealed if Link gives Karane Cawlin's Letter and tells Pipit about it. Wishing to know what Karane intends to do, Pipit realizes he loves Karane and rushes over to find her just as Karane is giving Cawlin a reply. Pipit intervenes and asks Karane to go out with him instead, to which she hesitantly accepts 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, by sitting 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 Pipit's mother, much to Pipit's dismay.
