Paya

is a recurring character in.

BotW: is a young BotW: woman who lives in BotW:. She resides in her grandmother BotW:'s BotW:, where she has her own BotW: in the attic. She has a tattoo of the BotW: on her face to ward off evil, in addition to honoring her long BotW: lineage. Her name is derived from the papaya-shaped birthmark she has on her left buttock. BotW: is noted to become flustered when she speaks to boys.

Prior to BotW:'s arrival in BotW:, BotW: has been tending to the BotW:, which has been passed down in her family. Recently, she has begun hearing voices speaking about the BotW:'s destiny being realized soon, making her nervous. She wrote about her concerns in the BotW:. BotW: also started her BotW:, where she writes her about her day and thoughts.

BotW: first encounters BotW: outside of BotW:, where she is scrubbing the porch. When BotW: notices BotW:, she will be shocked to be approached by a man and hide her face behind her hands. However, she soon spots the BotW: and, recalling the stories BotW: told her, tries to remember his name. BotW: assures BotW: that she has trouble speaking sometimes, and she then struggles to introduce herself. Once she says her name, BotW: seemingly calms down, acknowledging that it should be easy to say her own name and apologizing. Since BotW: has been waiting for BotW:'s return, BotW: urges him to go inside and see her grandmother. If BotW: speaks to BotW: again, she will panic and hide her face in her hands again, mentioning how close he is before asking that he go inside. She will remain outside until BotW: and BotW: have finished their conversation.

BotW: recounts their meeting later on in her BotW:. She claims that she has never seen her grandmother as happy as she was when BotW: returned. BotW: thought that BotW: looked like gallant hero, mentioning his pointed ears and blond hair. However, she does not know why her heart will not stop beating quickly.

After the "BotW:" BotW: has been completed, BotW: will begin her daily schedule. From 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, BotW: will be cleaning the BotW: in BotW:. At first, BotW: is still incredibly shy around BotW: and refers to him with a title. Still, she is incredibly eager to help him in any way she can. At the end of their talk, BotW: wishes BotW: good luck on his journey. If BotW: asks about the BotW:, she explains that it is an artifact that has been passed down in her family for generations. BotW: admits that she does not know the meaning of the legend associated with the BotW:, but she continues to contemplate it.

If asked about BotW:, BotW: will speak about the history of the NaN Sheikahs, who have served the BotW: for generations, but were scattered following the BotW:. When this happened, several members swore allegiance to the BotW:, and she warns BotW: that they will target him as an enemy. BotW: tells BotW: that he can ask her for help if he needs it. BotW: then speaks up, mentioning the BotW: BotW: who overlooks the BotW:. BotW: shares that BotW: can be found behind BotW:, and she believes BotW: would be happy to help him.

Lastly, should BotW: ask BotW: about herself, she immediately becomes flustered. After a moment of hesitation, she begins to tell him about how she got her name. If BotW: asks her where the birthmark is, BotW: becomes embarrassed again and hides her face, struggling to tell him. Initially, BotW: will interject, instructing BotW: to change the subject. BotW: finishes by promising to tell BotW: where it is some day. Later on, BotW: will struggle to answer BotW:'s question. BotW: will again insert herself into the conversation, revealing that the birthmark is on her left buttock.

At 7:00 PM, BotW: will leave BotW: to polish the NaN Traveler's Guardian Deities outside. She warns BotW: to be careful of traveling at night, since the roads can be dangerous. If BotW: approaches her at the statues, she will be surprised by his sudden appearance and ask how she can help him. If BotW: asks BotW: what she is doing, she explains that the NaN Traveler's Guardian Deities are meant to guide individuals through life. She considers BotW:'s path in life is admirable, and she believes that tending to the NaN Traveler's Guardian Deities will help him. BotW: leaves the NaN Traveler's Guardian Deities at 1:00 AM to return to her BotW:.

In her BotW:, BotW: will write about her day in her BotW:. If BotW: tries to read BotW: while she is present, she will frantically beg him not to. When BotW: speaks to BotW: while she is entering her BotW:, she will be offended that he is there and ask him to leave. When spoken to at her desk, BotW: will be surprised and wonder if BotW: needs something from her. If BotW: asks what she is doing, BotW: will explain she is writing in her BotW:. Should BotW: ask if she is tired, BotW: reveals that she does so much work taking care of the BotW: and praying for BotW:'s safety that she loses track of time. Lastly, if BotW: asks about the BotW: on her face, BotW: will be concerned that something is wrong with her face, but she then explains its significance to him. BotW: will sleep in her BotW: from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM, dreaming about BotW:.

After the "BotW:" BotW: has been completed, BotW: can be found crying on the floor of BotW:. When BotW: approaches her, she states that she only looked away for a second and wonders what she should do. If BotW: tells her to stay positive, BotW: angrily asks how she is supposed to. Otherwise, if BotW: asks what is wrong, BotW: reveals that the BotW: was stolen just when she discovered its secret.

BotW: then begins to sob, and BotW: recites the legend of the BotW:. Believing BotW: to be the hero mentioned in the legend, BotW: has been staying up all night to research the BotW:. She eventually concluded that the BotW: is the key to revealing an BotW:. Before they could share this with BotW:, however, the BotW: was stolen.

BotW: recounts she has been cleaning the BotW: every day, meaning it must have been stolen during the night. She claims that it is forbidden for outsiders to enter BotW:, but she does not think any of the BotW:'s residents would steal from them. This starts "BotW:" BotW:. BotW: feels violated that someone came into her home with evil intent, but she is grateful that BotW: is safe. Since BotW: is afraid the thief is possibly still nearby, BotW: asks BotW: to stay by her side for the day.

In BotW: that evening, she thanks BotW: for staying with her, but she now sees that being scared will not return the BotW:. According to BotW: and BotW:, only the villagers were seen around the time of the theft. BotW: says she will try to remember all she can about that night, but she warns BotW: that the thief could still be nearby. Feeling uneasy, she tells BotW: that not to approach if he spots any suspicious movements.

After BotW: completes BotW:, he will find BotW: depressed in BotW:, blaming herself for the BotW: being stolen. However, when BotW: reveals that he was able to recover and use the BotW:, BotW: will be happy. She prays that the old gods' protection will follow BotW:. When spoken to again, BotW: will express some loneliness without the BotW:, though she is still grateful that Link found it useful.

When BotW: has calmed one BotW:, a third page will appear in BotW:. In it, she admits that she is not great at interacting with men, but she claims she is now able to look BotW: in the eyes while speaking to him. Though she still gets embarrassed, BotW: still naturally follows BotW:'s gaze, which she blams on his "beautiful blue eyes."

The fourth entry in BotW: appears after two NaN Divine Beasts have been calmed. BotW: wonders if BotW: is in love with BotW:. She claims that she would give them her support if so, but the thought of doing so causes her heart to hurt. Concerned she is getting sick, BotW: resolves to ask BotW: for medicine the next day.

Once three NaN Divine Beasts are calmed, the fifth entry in BotW: will appear. When BotW: asked BotW: for medicine, she only responded by smiling. She then went to BotW: and BotW: ti ask about her grandmother's actions, but they did the same. As a result, BotW: was unable to get any medicine.

The final entry for BotW: appears once all four NaN Divine Beasts have been tamed. After speaking with BotW:, BotW: now realizes that she is in love with BotW:. Despite the fact BotW: may not return her feelings, BotW: is still grateful that she is able to experience them on her own.

At any time, BotW: can speak to BotW: while not wearing any BotW: to cover his torso. When he does this, BotW: will become incredibly embarrassed and hide her face, asking him to clothe himself.

TotK: is now the chief of TotK: following her grandmother TotK:'s retirement.
