Sirin

Elisirin [Suh-rin] née Diribeth was the last female hawker before the fall of the Taoclave during the years of The Third Emergence. She was the eldest of 3 sisters and 1 half-sister, but was given up for adoption by her father, Pelsatior, who only wanted sons. She was raised by Lord Bengeant Quisto at the Shelbeth House Foster Home and Orphanage until she was 5, when Yirris offered to train her as a hawker and raise her as his own.

Yirris became her adopted father and mentor, much to the disdain of the Taoclave's Clanfather Vizden, who still held traditional views about familial ties. This act significantly affected Yirris' chances of becoming Clanfather after Vizden, but Sirin idolised him and ensured all newcomers came to respect him more so than anyone else.

Under her mentor's guidance, Sirin learned to value strategic analysis over combat efficiency but proved to be skilful in the latter too, this manifested in swift dealings with opponents. Her biggest weakness was her anger, which stemmed from an unstretchable impatience that would more often than not see her make tactical decisions without having a backup plan. Her confidence in her ability to form strategies quickly put her in life-threatening situations several times, further increasing her anger for her failures.

Toan Attack
In 1755, Sirin was preparing Twin for his trials to become a fully-fledged Hawker. During a tracking test, the two of them were interrupted by a wandering toan in the Ehvylonian wilderness, seemingly separated from its host. It turned on them

Death
From 1759-62, her condition deteriorated exponentially. At first, her attitude rapidly changed to the point of unjustified hostility towards friends, and in some cases, physical aggression. As the rinrot ate at her mind, she gradually lost her short-term memory and even memories of major events in her life became distorted and false.

After the hawker purge, she travelled with Twin, who did his best to take care of the condition he didn't know existed. Sirin regularly became short-tempered and angry at irrational things in episodes that could last days. In periods of lucidity, she returned to her normal self, but these shifts in personality were sudden and without warning.

Hopeless to help her, Twin expressed his dread of what would become of her if it got any worse. Sirin, suddenly shifting into a psychotic state, lashed out with a weapon threatening to kill her long-time friend. Her incoherent screaming and cursing lead Twin to shoot her in the chest, where she quickly snapped back to normal as she bled out. In her last moments, everything flooded back to her and she sincerely apologised to her distraught friend, who cradled her until she finally died, released from her torment.
