Cawlin is first seen talking with Groose and Strich about how they caught Link's [[Crimson Loftwing]] in their trap. Link overhears them, and Groose proceeds to taunt and berate him until [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] arrives, distracting Groose as he becomes infatuated with her. Cawlin is also one of the four participants in the [[Wing Ceremony]].

Cawlin has a crush on [[Karane]] and eventually asks Link to deliver a love [[Cawlin's Letter|Letter]] he wrote to her.<ref>{{Cite|You fool! How dare you! This is no ordinary piece of paper! It's a {{Color|SS Red|letter}}! A very special one at that! I put my heart into every word... I guess you could say it's sort of like a... All right, fine! It's a love letter!|Cawlin|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|So listen up! The person you must give it to is a girl... An upperclassman... Her name is {{Color|SS Blue|Karane}}. You know who I mean, right? She's the one with the {{Color|SS Red|round hat}}. She's really cute. You know the one. And don't you dare...not even by mistake...even think of giving it to that {{Color|SS Red|weirdo in the restroom}}! Swear it!|Cawlin|SS}}</ref> However, Link has a choice between delivering the Letter to Karane or to [[Phoeni]], who appears in the Knight Academy's restroom at night. Doing either will result in Link receiving five [[Gratitude Crystal]]s.

If Link chooses to deliver the Letter to Phoeni,<ref>{{Cite|This is the hand of a ghost. The ghost's original name is unknown. Judging from its appearance, I calculate a 90% chance it belonged to a young girl. Over 80% of ghosts are said to harbor some kind of unfulfilled desire. I suggest you cease being scared and speak to her.|Fi|SS}}</ref> much to Cawlin's chagrin,<ref>{{Cite|Didn't I specifically tell you NOT to give it to the weirdo in the restroom?! Seriously! I said it like five times! I know I did! You fool! How could you?! Anyone who blocks the path of true love deserves to be kicked by a bird! I hate you, Link!|Cawlin|SS}}</ref> she will read the Letter and end up falling in love with Cawlin.<ref>{{Cite|It's good to see you again... Actually, thanks to you, I met my true love... Yes, him... It all started with that letter that you gave me... Those beautiful words of affection caused me to fall hopelessly in love...|Phoeni|SS}}</ref> Phoeni will thereafter affectionately stroke his hair while he sleeps, and he will be plagued with nightmares.<ref>{{Cite|Ever since you botched that mission with the letter, I've been having nightmares and can't get any sleep! It's just one thing after another! What is going on?! I wonder if that bed is cursed? Maybe it's {{Color|SS Blue|Groose}}'s revenge!|Cawlin|SS}}</ref> If Link delivers the letter to Karane, however, she rejects Cawlin,<ref>{{Cite|So, yeah... I have to say, he really put his heart into it and everything... I don't know... Maybe I should consider going out with {{Color|SS Blue|Cawlin}}. ...Hah! As if!|Karane|SS}}</ref> and in an ironic turn of events will end up entering a relationship with [[Pipit]], who only realized he loved her after hearing she received a love Letter from someone else.<ref>{{Cite|When you told me about the letter, it was at that moment I finally realized. I realized that...I love her. I thought to myself, "I can't let anyone else take her from me!" If you hadn't told me, I might never have even noticed my own feelings for her. I'm so grateful. I don't know how I can ever thank you!|Pipit|SS}}</ref> This causes Cawlin to run away crying, and he can be found wallowing in despair in Groose's room thereafter.<ref>{{Cite|It's over... It's all over... What do you want, Link?! Have you come to laugh at me in my miserable state? Just leave me alone!|Cawlin|SS}}</ref>

Cawlin's name is likely derived from "caw", onomatopoeia of the sound crows make. It may also be based on the name "Colin".
