Kalvar will readily admit that he is not exactly a people person. Spending a good portion of his developing years far from any other Hylian, he's become quite shy and socially awkward. He simply doesn't know how to handle people. Even his best friend is technically a sentient bow, with a very sweet and supportive personality, and doesn't exactly have the best social advice either.

Despite his natural patience and desire to take things slow, he's very eager to help people. With a lack of a proper place in the world, he feels like he needs to force a place for him. Without a real job or home, he is almost desperate for people to want him around, or at the very least need him around. He takes great pride in his skill with archery and will desperately work to prove he is the greatest archer in all of Hyrule, even if it is solely just so he feels wanted.

Otherwise, Kalvar is actually quite a smart person. Most of his knowledge tends to come from his experience however, he's simply lacked easy access to books and had no formal education. He picks things up very quickly and has a fondness for military history and animal biology, but oftentimes struggles with a few more concrete topics, like complex math. He is incredibly eager to learn more but tries his hardest not to look as stupid as he feels. Learning things beyond his immediate comfort zone is definitely doable, but often time-consuming. However, if you ask him how to build a shelter from scratch, start a fire with your own bare hands, or even how to carve stone or wood into usable tools, he's incredibly capable.




Kalvar grew up as the eldest child of the Lyrandar House, a noble family with their roots metaphorically tied deep into the agriculture of Hyrule. Owning a huge amount of acres, the Lyrandar House was quite wealthy, not only employing a ton of individuals but feeding a huge portion of Hyrule.

However, tragedy would strike the house when they least expected it. The excitable little child loved to play in the trees in the courtyard around their manor. Unfortunately, it seemed to also fall within the hunting ground of a wild Kargorok. His parents could only watch as their eight-year-old child was grasped in the massive bird's clutches and flown far away off to very distant lands.

The young Kalvar fought and struggled until he could hardly breathe, and struggled some more. Eventually, the thin air and sudden ascent far off into the sky caused him to pass out. The next thing he knew, he awoke surrounded by massive eggs in a nest, presumably on some cliff so far in the sky he was above the clouds. Presumably, to be the hatching eggs first meal. He had just enough energy to scramble out of the nest and run away.

Only to find that there was nowhere to run.

Everywhere he looked, was just another cliff to nowhere. The poor child was left alone to fend for himself, in a world where land was scarce, and food was even more scarce. After a few weeks, the young boy was ready to give up. He was always exhausted, freezing cold, and hungry. His clothes didn't keep him warm, the tiny stick hut he had attempted to fashion together didn't really help either. And with no real source of food, he was slowly starving.

Luckily, fate seemed to have something else in store for the young child. He happened upon a corpse of another Hylian, long since rotten away, next to nothing but bones, picked clean by scavenger birds. However, his belongings were seemingly tucked away inside a nearby cave. It seemed he wasn't the first person trapped on this floating island.

The cave was oddly a paradise compared to everything else, it had been turned into a makeshift home. The remnants of a long-dead campfire remained, but a bed fashioned from twigs and the feathers of slain birds was such a relief to Kalvar. However, the most important discovery was something far greater.

The Fairy of the Winds, an elegant bow of refined craftsmanship, spoke to him. Wind Fairy claimed to be a Great Fairy who had been dying, and soul placed within the bow to repay the debt they owed to her friend. Unfortunately, her friend named Sir Julius Surgate, a knight from Hyrule nearly a lifetime ago, is now laid dead. An old war injury that worsened over time took him, and there was nothing she could do to help him.

However, she was smart enough to see the hope in the child's eyes and began to teach Kalvar. She instructed him in the ways of survival. How to hunt for food, to traverse the winds, and to bend mother nature to his will with magic.

Nearly 20 years later and Kalvar had fully adjusted to his situation. The cave turned into a proper cozy home, clothing fashioned from feathers and leathers, a proper man of the wilds raised in the harshness of the storms and adjusted to the wide-open sky. A calm, fairly composed man who worked every day to continue not just to survive, but to thrive.

He had eventually even found Sir Surgate's old journals, tucked away in a few cracks in the cave walls. Kalvar had eventually learned a lot about the old man and grew to respect his legend. He had been a dedicated knight and smith of some renown, but the most shocking revelation was the truth about his bow. The Fairy of the Winds was not, in fact, a Great Fairy. His enchantment process for items was powerful but flawed. He could grant the weapon a mockery of sentience but could not control how it would develop. Ever since it came to consciousness it already claimed to know exactly who it was, acting as if they had been friends for years.

Kalvar, understandably, attempted to share his knowledge with the bow. Only to be turned down, and promptly argued against. It seemed even if Wind Fairy knew the truth, they at least enjoyed pretending that it wasn't. The idea of previously being this great and powerful individual who had become a sage teacher and caretaker clearly appealed to them.

It wasn't until the sight of a ship, floating amidst the air, that Kalvar even began to think of the world below again. He had seen the Rito people before but kept to himself asides from trading a few things now and then. It might have been easy to move into their villages, but he had grown accustomed to living on his own. Now, with Hylians apparently having easy access to the Sky Province, his thoughts began to drift to think of his actual home. With the help of one of these strange vehicles, he hoped he could return home.

Little did he know, his family had passed away nearly 10 years ago. A great disease swept through the manor, ending the lives of them and all their immediate servants. House Lyrandar was no more, their lands owned by another. He was the heir to no fortune, no property, only a grave with his own name on it.
