Aryll is a character from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. She is Link's sister.
Aryll and Link both grew up on Outset Island under the care of their Grandma. Aryll developed a fondness for seagulls, which often flocked to the lookout tower of Outset Island, which she named Aryll's Lookout. The closest thing to a fellow human friend seems to be Sue-Belle, the girl who is constantly seen carrying a jar.
[edit] Biography
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
At the beginning of the game, on the day of Link's birthday, Aryll loans him her treasured Telescope as a birthday present. However, when a Pirate Ship lands on Outset Island, the leader of the pirates is taken hostage by a huge bird known as the Helmaroc King and Link chases after her into the woods on the island. After rescuing her from the enemies in the woods, the bird sets its sight on Aryll and takes her away to the Forsaken Fortress, the stronghold of Ganondorf. The Helmaroc King had been ordered by Ganondorf to kidnap all pointy-eared girls on the Great Sea, believing that one of them may truly be Princess Zelda. Link travels with the pirates to the Forsaken Fortress, but is unsuccessful in rescuing her and the other kidnapped girls.
Later, Link returns to the Forsaken Fortress and defeats the Helmaroc King, rescuing Aryll and the other girls successfully. Aryll stays on the pirate's ship in order to keep her away from Ganondorf's grasp. She is not seen again until the end credits, where she is wearing a half-maroon, half-white dress with a skull design.
During a normal playthrough, she wears a blue dress with a flower pattern throughout the majority of the game, but on a file's second playthrough, she wears the aforementioned maroon/white skull dress for the entire game.

It is possible that Aryll is based off of Marin from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, as they both love seagulls and wear very similar clothing.
