Ilesyn was the afterthought child, born almost twenty turns after her closest in age sibling, a rather surprising addition to the family indeed. Born on the road between Fort Hold and South Boll, the youngest daughter of the Terilin Trading Family spent her youngest days moving along the route that the family had taken for as long as anyone could remember. She proved to be an almost difficult child, prone to evesdropping and bossiness, eventually ending up as an Apprentice Healer, and then, a Senior Apprentice specialising in Mindhealing, posted to Fort Weyr. She was searched perhaps a turn later, heading to Monaco - albeit reluctantly - as a candidate. She occupied herself with a candidate study, until the eggs hatched, and she returned to Fort - having failed to Impress. Her Journeywoman's knot was achieved within a turn of this, perhaps partially thanks to it. Although age has not really smoothed her somewhat obvious faults, she's nonetheless amiable enough--although quite ready to take on the world at any time. More recently, she was forced (in her words) to accept a second candidacy, but rather than prove her sanity, Ilesyn found herself quite attached to a brown - Nallath.

She's since more or less settled in to the life of a rider, though not without more than her fair share of trials and tribulations - and, to be fair, not such an awful lot in other ways. She'll never love the life of a rider, but somehow, over the past few turns, she's gained an understanding of what her purpose is - and where she can best help, little though she wants to at times.

Here, one can discover the 'truth about Ilesyn', if such a thing exists, through her biographical information, her logs, and her personality synopsis, not to mention Nallath himself.
