## History

### Bleak Decade

She was born and raised in Farrule Castle Town. Her mother was Milly, a beautiful mage and noblewoman, and her father was Jin Woodward, a studious knight. The two eventually fell in love, got married, and conceived Kylin. Her name means "fortune" in the language of the Gale Tribe. The girl lived a decent life with her parents, and while their jobs demanded much, Jin and Milly spent as much time as they could with Kylin. However, an unfortunate event soon dispelled good times.

Kylin's mother went missing for some time, forcing Jin and fellow knights to investigate.
The soldiers searched and found a poorly-written parchment, which instructed Jin to arrive to the field alone. The note was signed by a being nicknamed **The Spectre**. Back home, an anxious Kylin questioned her caretakers about her parents' absence. They merely told her not to worry and await their return. Jin did as he was instructed, inferring that one wrong move could put his wife in danger. The knights encountered Milly, who was under the Spectre's control. The party tried to repel the possessed Milly. Many fell by her newfound power.

Knowing of Jin and Milly's relationship, the Spectre took control, and promised to let Milly go if Jin sacrificed his comrades. Jin hesitated, to which the Spectre crushed many of his comrades. Angered, the knights continued to fight and lose their lives. Jin dropped to his knees in shock, awaiting the Spectre's promise. However, because of the fiend's malevolence, he crushed Milly's windpipe and mind in front of Jin, and spitefully placed a curse on him. Helpless, Jin held his dying lover, hastily carrying her away as the Spectre disappeared. Jin laid his wife's body to rest in the garden behind their home, and fled town, being declared an outlaw. Jin disappeared over the next decade under the terrible curse. The Spectre was eventually apprehended and tried for treason of the highest degree.

### Lonely Path

Onward, Kylin lived under the watch of her father's allies. The absence of her mother and father made her distant. A few years in the knights' care and tutelage, she learned combat and survival skills. A fatal truth reached her one day when she asked of her mother and father. The headmaster regretfully told her about her father's curse, and that there was rumor that it was contagious and an omen. It stirred disbelief and anger in Kylin. She spent her night outside the castle grounds, gazing at the stars until bitter emotion made her weep. For a while, she searched for her father, certain he was out there. Her search led her to the depths of Faron Woods. In her exile, she fended for herself and learned well of her surroundings. Her first brush of danger was a large Wolfos. With her father's ax, she struggled with the beast and managed to cut its arm and tail off, eliminating it and fleeing with a serious calf injury and facial scar. Other beasts were frequent obstacles as well and food was difficult to acquire at times. Kylin became a fierce hunter, allowing her wrath to overcome fear and sadness.

Three months passed. Leaving the depths of Farrule Woods one day, Kylin encountered Sio during a skirmish with monsters. Kylin was cautious of him because of his uniform. However, she found it easy to confide in him her lonely situation. Feeling sorry for her, Sio gave his Rupees to Kylin and suggested she go to an inn. She initially refused, but bashfully accepted and headed to Kakariko, saying she wouldn't forget. His kindness disarmed her and caused her to re-evaluate her life later on. Kylin and Sio eventually became a couple for two years. However, due to complications, their romance later turned into a strong friendship.
