Dawn

Dawn (b. Sep 2nd 790) is a Hylian Champion, and Hero of Hyrule, from 808 to 850. The only child of Kafei and Anju, she was raised in Clock Town, where she dreamed of becoming the next Hero.

After her 15thbirthday, Dawn left Clock Town to participate in the Knight try-outs, being chosen as Link's successor in the process. In Adlersburgh she befriended Makoh, a Sheikah training under Impa, royal adviser. Their friendship would remain strong as the two grew, and he would eventually join Dawn in the Fellowship of the Hero.

Dawn would go on to become the Hero of Hyrule, protecting it against numerous threats and maintaining peace across the land with the help of the Fellowship.

Early Days
Not much is known of Dawn's childhood in Clock Town. When she was 5, around year 795, Dawn attended a parade in Clock Town where she first met Link and became inspired to one day follow in his footsteps and become an adventurer.

She would later start taking sword fighting lessons. At the same time, she worked at the kitchen of her parent's establishment, the Stock Pot Inn, where she discovered her natural talent for cooking.

Following her dreams
On 805, after the attack on Lurelin Village, one of Link's most gruesome failures, word quickly spread that he would be looking for a successor during that year's Knight Try-Outs. As soon as she reached the age of 15, Dawn left home in a caravan bound to Adlersburgh, determined to catch Link's attention.

Upon arrival, Dawn took place in the competition, eventually facing off against Revali and defeating him in the semifinals, but ultimately losing in the final round. Although the competition's purpose was to determine military ranks, Dawn was nevertheless chosen by Link to be his successor, as he saw a drive for adventure and a kind attitude in her.

Life in Hyrule Castle
From 805 to 807, Dawn would stay in Hyrule Castle, training under Link and Impa, the Sheikah leader of the Shadow Order and responsible for the protection of the royal family. During that time, Dawn would meet Tera and Makoh, two young Sheikah in-training under Impa.

With guidance from Link, Impa and other generals, Dawn underwent a rigorous training as Link's successor. Her training consisted mainly in sword-fighting and other survival skills, along with lessons on Hyrule and its geography and fauna & flora, though she admitted the latter wasn't her strong suit.

After King Daphnes became ill in late 806, monster attacks across Eldin and southern Faron increased. This caused Link to prematurely send Dawn to retrieve the Master Sword from it's pedestal in the Lost Woods. Link's fear proved to be true, as soon after Ganondorf would manage to escape from his prison in Arbiter's Grounds.
