Henya
Template:Character Henya, also known as the lunch lady,[1] is an old woman that works in the Knight Academy in Skyward Sword.
Biography
Henya is married to Rusta,[2] who hangs around the Lumpy Pumpkin. If Link speaks to Fledge before the Wing Ceremony, he can help him deliver barrels into the Knight Academy kitchen, and she will thank him for doing Fledge's job.[3] If Link breaks any of the pottery near her, she will get angry at him and threaten him.[4][5] If the young hero breaks even more objects near her, she will eventually threaten that she will get him expelled from the Knight Academy.[6] However, she never follows through on this threat, no matter how many times Link breaks her pots.
Trivia
- Both her name and face loosely resemble a Hannya mask. In Japanese Noh theater, people would wear Hannya masks when representing a jealous female demon or serpent. This is further supported by her cranky attitude. It is also possible that she is named after the hen. This is supported by the fact that her husband, Rusta, was likely named after the rooster. Also, the names of most of the residents of Skyloft are based on birds.
- If Link takes a seat at one of the cafeteria tables near her, she will tell him that he missed breakfast and if he wants food he will have to come back later when lunch is ready.[7]
