Template:Character Mallara is Pipit's untidy mother.[1]
Biography
Mallara spends most of her time at home, but, despite being there all the time, never bothers to clean it.[2] After completing the Lanayru Mining Facility, she will ask Link to clean it for her by using the Gust Bellows to blow away all the dust.[3][4] If he does he will receive 5 Gratitude Crystals the first time he completes the task. From that point on she will pay Link 20 Rupees to clean the house.[5]
If Link returns at night he will unintentionally overhear Pipit reprimanding at her for spending his hard-earned money, which she could use to buy bread, on having someone else do a job she could could do herself.[6][7]
However, undeterred, she will continue to ask Link to clean for her.[8] Once the chore is completed, Link can speak to her to acquire his 20 Rupees, or choose to leave, in essence doing the job for free, though there is no benefit to doing so.
Etymology
Mallara's name, like most Skyloftians, derives from a bird. Her name is derived from the Mallard, the wild duck.
