==Biography==
==Biography==
{{Term|BotW|Koyin}} works on a farm below the {{Term|BotW|Hateno Ancient Tech Lab|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Hateno Village|link}}, tending to animals such as {{Plural|BotW|Highland Sheep|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Hateno Cow|link}} with {{Term|BotW|Dantz|link}}. When {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} first meets her, she is angrily talking to herself and holding a stick in her hand.<ref>{{Cite|They'll pay! They'll all pay!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref>
==={{BotW|-}}===
{{Term|BotW|Koyin}} works at the {{Term|BotW|Hateno Pasture|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Hateno Village|link}}, tending to animals such as {{Plural|BotW|Highland Sheep|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Hateno Cow|link}} alongside {{Term|BotW|Dantz|link}}. Prior to {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} arriving in {{Term|BotW|Hateno Village}}, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} left a note on the {{Term|BotW|Hateno Village|display=Village's}} bulletin board asking for help with the monsters on {{Term|BotW|Hateno Beach|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Will someone please deal with the monsters at Hateno Beach?!<br/>-Koyin, Hateno Pasture|N/A|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} first meets her, she is angrily talking to herself and holding a stick in her hand.<ref>{{Cite|They'll pay! They'll all pay!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref>
 
Should {{Term|BotW|Link}} decide to speak to her, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} is immediately aggressive toward him.<ref>{{Cite|Hey, you.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} decides to end their conversation, she calls him a creep and says to cut it out.<ref>{{Cite|[Good-bye.] Cut it out, creep!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} keeps speaking to her, she asks what he wants.<ref>{{Cite|[Yes?] What do YOU want?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> Noticing he seems confused, she tells him not to act clueless.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, don't act so clueless.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> However, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} eases up once she decides that {{Term|BotW|Link}} seems to be harmless, and she explains that she has been on edge due to all the monsters in the area.<ref>{{Cite|Although... Fine. You seem harmless enough. Forgive me, I've just been on edge with all these monsters running around.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> She goes on to reveal that they come from {{Term|BotW|Hateno Beach}} to steal her {{Plural|BotW|Highland Sheep}}, so much so that she is afraid she will run out if nobody stops them.<ref>{{Cite|They come up from {{Color|BotW Blue|Hateno Beach}} to steal my sheep. If someone doesn't do something soon, I won't have any left!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> After she finishes talking, "{{Term|BotW|The Sheep Rustlers|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Side Quest|link}} will begin.
 
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} speaks to {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} again, she expresses her hatred for the monsters that live on {{Term|BotW|Hateno Beach}}.<ref>{{Cite|I hate that gang of monsters on {{Color|BotW Blue|Hateno Beach}}...|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks about the monsters, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} complains that they attack anything that moves, and she claims to have attacked them with a {{Term|BotW|Farmer's Pitchfork|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|[Which monsters?] The stupid ones who attack anything that moves. Last time they showed up, I gave them a taste of my pitchfork.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> While she wanted to follow them back to their {{Term|BotW|Monster Stronghold|link}}, she decided she was not prepared to fight seven monsters at once.<ref>{{Cite|But I had second thoughts about following them back to their camp on {{Color|BotW Blue|Hateno Beach}}. I was mad enough to spit, but maybe not mad enough to take on {{Color|BotW Red|seven monsters}} at once. |Koyin|BotW}}</ref>
 
If {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} about {{Term|BotW|Hateno Beach}}, she will tell him to follow the winding road to reach it.<ref>{{Cite|[Hateno Beach?] It's southeast of the village. Follow the winding road, and you'll be there before you know it.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> Due to how well-known it is, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} believes that {{Term|BotW|Link}} will be able to find it on a {{Term|BotW|Map|link}}, as well.<ref>{{Cite|It's well-known enough that you can probably find it on a {{Color|BotW Blue|map}}, come to that. |Koyin|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} decides to stop talking to her, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} sighs and apologizes for being defensive.<ref>{{Cite|[Good-bye.] Good... *sigh* Good-bye. I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot. Uh...that's all...|Koyin|BotW}}</ref>
 
After {{Term|BotW|Link}} has defeated the monsters on {{Term|BotW|Hateno Beach}}, he must then return to {{Term|BotW|Hateno Beach}} to inform {{Term|BotW|Koyin}}.<ref>{{Cite|You defeated every last monster lurking on Hateno Beach! The village is safe for sheep at last.<br/><br/>Go tell {{Color|BotW Red|Koyin}} in Hateno Village that the monsters will trouble her flock no more.|Adventure Log|BotW}}</ref> She notes that her flock is calmer and asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he was the one to exterminate the rustlers.<ref>{{Cite| The sheep have calmed down. I think they get that they're not about to be snatched at any moment. Hey... Sorry if I'm off the mark in asking this, but are you the one who took care of those monsters?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> Should {{Term|BotW|Link}} admit that he was, she will say that she thought he would be the one to do so.<ref>{{Cite|[That's right.] I had a feeling. When the sheep all calmed down, I thought, "Maybe he did it..." So it seems I owe you some thanks.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> If he simply bids her farewell instead, she stomps her foot and refuses to let him leave the conversation without hearing her out.<ref>{{Cite|[Good-bye.] Oh, no you don't! You can't hide the truth from me. I might not feel it in my bones like the sheep do, but I'm no fool, either. Which is to say...um...Thanks.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref>
 
{{Term|BotW|Koyin}} rewards {{Term|BotW|Link}} with 10 bottles of {{Term|BotW|Fresh Milk|link}}, though it does not feel like enough to her.<ref>{{Cite|This isn't much of a reward, but hey, it's light. That counts for something.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> She is pleased that she will be able to sleep soundly without having to worry about her {{Plural|BotW|Highland Sheep}} at night.<ref>{{Cite|It'll be nice to have a night's sleep without worrying about my flock.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> She also shyly invites him to come talk to her at anytime.<ref>{{Cite|And, er... If you want...you can talk to me anytime. O-or not!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> After this, the {{Term|BotW|Side Quest}} will be completed. {{Term|BotW|Koyin}}'s message on the bulletin board will turn into one thanking {{Term|BotW|Link}} for his help.<ref>{{Cite|Thanks for dealing with those monsters at Hateno Beach!<br/>-Koyin|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
 
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} speaks to {{Term|BotW|Koyin}}, she greets him, though she sourly wonders what is so good about their day.<ref>{{Cite|Hmph. "Good" morning. What's so good about it, I ask?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Hmph. "Good" day. What's so good about it, I ask?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Hmph. "Good" evening. What's so good about it, I ask?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> However, she acknowledges that her life could be worse than it is.<ref>{{Cite|Though, it could certainly be worse...|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> She states that {{Term|BotW|Link}} has saved her flock, as the {{Plural|BotW|Highland Sheep}} have been eating and sleeping better in addition to providing more milk.<ref>{{Cite|The sheep have been eating and sleeping better. They're yielding more milk too. You've single-handedly saved my flock!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> When it {{Term|BotW|Rain|link|display=Rains}}, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} comments that soil smells like life itself.<ref>{{Cite|The scent of the soil is the smell of life itself. If you ask me, anyway.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref>


Should {{Term|BotW|Link}} decide to speak to her, she is immediately aggressive toward him.<ref>{{Cite|Hey, you. [Yes?] What do YOU want?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|[Good-bye.] Cut it out, creep!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> However, she eases up a bit to explain her situation.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, don't act so clueless. Although... Fine. You seem harmless enough.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> According to {{Term|BotW|Koyin}}, a group of monsters have been abducting her flock.<ref>{{Cite|Forgive me, I've just been on edge with all these monsters running around. They come up from {{Color|BotW Blue|Hateno Beach}} to steal my sheep. If someone doesn’t do something soon, I won’t have any left! |Koyin|BotW}}</ref> This unlocks the quest "{{Term|BotW|The Sheep Rustlers|link}}".
If {{Term|BotW|Link}} approaches {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} while carrying the {{Term|BotW|Blue Flame|link}}, she recognizes it as being associated with {{Term|BotW|Purah|link}} and asks what he is doing with it.<ref>{{Cite|Isn't that old Purah's {{Color|BotW Blue|blue flame}}? What are you up to with it?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Hey! That's Purah's {{Color|BotW Blue|flame}}! How come you're messing with it?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref>


{{Term|BotW|Koyin}} goes on to explain how she had driven off the monsters at another time, but is not certain enough of her ability to handle them all at once in their own territory.<ref>{{Cite| I hate that gang of monsters on {{Color|BotW Blue|Hateno Beach…}} [Which monsters?] The stupid ones who attack anything that moves. Last time they showed up, I gave them a taste of my pitchfork. But I had second thoughts about following them back to their camp on {{Color|BotW Blue|Hateno Beach}}. I was mad enough to spit, but maybe not mad enough to take on {{Color|BotW Red|seven monsters}} at once. |Koyin|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks her about {{Term|BotW|Hateno Beach}}, she will tell him where to go.<ref>{{Cite| [Hateno Beach?] It’s southeast of the village. Follow the winding road, and you’ll be there before you know it. It’s well-known enough that you can probably find it on a {{Color|BotW Blue|map}}, come to that. |Koyin|BotW}}</ref> Once {{Term|BotW|Link}} tells her goodbye, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} sighs and apologizes for being defensive.<ref>{{Cite|[Good-bye.] Good... *sigh* Good-bye. I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot. Uh...that's all...|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> Until the quest is completed, {{Term|BotW|Koyin}} is too concerned about the herd to go to sleep. She will stay up throughout the entire night to watch after them. Even the rain is not enough to budge her from her spot.

Once the monsters are taken care of, Link can speak to her again. She notes that her flock is calmer and asks him if he was the one to exterminate the rustlers.<ref>{{Cite| The sheep have calmed down. I think they get that they’re not about to be snatched at any moment. Hey… Sorry if I’m off the mark in asking this, but are you the one who took care of those monsters?|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> Should Link admit to it, she will say that she thought he would be the one to do so.<ref>{{Cite|[That’s right.] I had a feeling. When the sheep all calmed down, I thought, “Maybe he did it…” So it seems I owe you some thanks.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> If he simply bids her farewell instead, she stomps her foot and refuses to let him leave the conversation without hearing her out.<ref>{{Cite| [Good-bye.] Oh, no you don’t! You can’t hide the truth from me. I might not feel it in my bones like the sheep do, but I’m no fool, either. Which is to say...um...Thanks.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> Koyin rewards Link with ten bottles of {{Term|BotW|Fresh Milk|link}}, noting that it does not feel like enough.<ref>{{Cite| This isn’t much of a reward, but hey, it’s light. That counts for something.|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> She is pleased that she will be able to sleep soundly and offers through a stammer to speak to Link whenever he likes.<ref>{{Cite|It’ll be nice to have a night’s sleep without worrying about my flock. And, er… If you want…you can talk to me anytime. O-or not!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref>

Koyin often mentions how Link protected her livelihood, pointing out how the health of her animals has improved.<ref>{{Cite| The sheep have been eating and sleeping better. They’re yielding more milk too. You’ve single-handedly saved my flock!|Koyin|BotW}}</ref> While she retains her sour attitude, she is a bit more at ease.<ref>{{Cite|Hmph. "Good" day. What's so good about it, I ask? Though, it could certainly be worse...|Kyoin|BotW}}</ref>

Strangely, although she mentions sleeping soundly now that her herd is safe, Kyoin still does not go to bed at any time.
