Princess Zelda

The first cut scene in Skyward Sword shows Zelda smiling and giving her Loftwing a letter. The Loftwing or Friend as she calls it, wakes you up and spits out the letter.

Later when you "meet" her she is singing " the ballad of the goddes". She tells you she is supposeed to be Hylia, the great goddess. She asks you how her costume looks and you can answer three different ways. After a bit of talking she shoves you off a platform even when you say you cannot "sence" your loftwing she jumps in and saves you from falling off the side of Skyloft. Once your safe Zelda says her bird is hurt and she'll catch up with you later to find your loftwing. After you confront Groose for stealing your bird she yells at him. After you get to the end of the cavE by the waterfall Zelda says that she wants to go to the surface and she can here something "calling" her.

At the wing ceremony Zelda gives the bird statue as an offering to Hylia.

Spoiler!

When you get further into the game you figure out she is Hylia herself.
