Ileyna Sczarletti-Ionita's page

- How would you describe yourself in a single sentence?
”I’unno.” Ileyna rolls her eyes, keeping them up for a while and cocking her head. ”Alright, alright, I’ll try my best. I’m ten, and I try to do the right things more than I forget about them. Does that work?”

- How did you end up in Sandpoint? Born here, moved here...?
”Mom moved here.” Ileyna shrugs halfheartedly. ”To live with Mr. Scarletti...er, Dad, I guess. We used to live in Magnimar, but it’s better here, I guess. There’s no big bridge blocking out the light, at least, and the lighthouse ruin is pretty to look at.”

- Who do you live with? Family, foster parents, siblings...?
”I used to live with my mom, Rodika, but then she moved in with Mr. Scarletti, and now I call him Dad sometimes. My big sister Tallow showed up a bit after that. She does most of the looking out for me, since Mom’s busy now.”

- What do you want to do when you grow up?
”When I grow up, I’m going to be a caravaner. I bet me and Tallow could do pretty well if we worked together, telling fortunes, singing songs, and making friends. Or maybe I can work in a tavern. That doesn’t sound so bad either. Either way, I’m going to learn a lot!”

- Who is your best friend? (hint hint, you may do joint backgrounds...)
”Tallow’s the only friend I need.” Ileyna grins and pulls on a pigtail, then pauses for a second, her face falling. ”Oh. She says you mean not family. I guess Taraketh’s not too bad, he’s the only one who’s met my sister so far. I dunno about some of the others. Sammy is too teasy, she makes me sad sometimes, so I have to go hide with Tallow again.

- What is your favorite scary tale?
”I don’t like scary stories. People always go missing, or get hurt. There was one that was really scary when I was little, about one of the bridge legs in Magnimar.” Her eyes get wide and she starts talking faster and faster. ”Okay, Sandru was a boy that was always playing tricks on people, and one day, he tricked this old man and made him drink muddy water, and the old man glared, but then he laughed, and he told Sandru about a treasure hidden under the bottom side of the bridge in Magnimar, so Sandru went climbing for it but he wasn’t safely tied to anything and then the old man jumped out and scared him and hefellandhedied” By the time she finishes, she’s breathing really fast and whispering. ”And that’s why you’re supposed to not be mean to strangers.”

- Who is the most awesome person ever, and why is she Shalelu Andoshana?
”Everyone thinks Shalelu is so awesome, the way she goes out and fights things, and knows about the whole coast, and is all mysteriously out of town. My big sister knows a lot too, and I think she can probably fight things, and she’s always around. She’s not scared of anything. We saw a goblin by Junker’s Edge, and Tallow wasn’t even worried. But Shalelu is cool, too.”

Ileyna’s life would be a lot more lonely if it weren’t for her big sister Tallow. The older girl is there when Ileyna wakes up. Whenever she’s alone and needs someone to talk to, Tallow is only a whisper away. And at night, when Ileyna’s room falls dark, the last thing she sees before sleeping is her big sister, watching over her. It’s true that no one else really knows about Tallow, but that’s okay. What’s important is that when Ileyna needed a sister, Tallow was there, and that she’ll always be there for her.

Of course, Ileyna didn’t need a big sister until she was six, when she and her mother moved from Magnimar to Sandpoint. Her mother had always been focused on her, but she’d been writing to a man in Sandpoint for a long time, and only a week after Rodika and Ileyna moved, Rodika Ionita and Simir Sczarletti were married. With her mother tied up in her new marriage, Ileyna found herself in a strange place with no friends and a distracted mother. It was really only a matter of time until her overactive imagination made her a new friend - one who’d be there for her no matter what. Something like a sister.

She’d asked her mother several times if she was going to get a brother or a sister, but Rodika’s answers weren’t very convincing, leaving Ileyna’s imagination to run wild. What would it be like to have a sister? Obviously, she’d be older, and pretty. She’d know all sorts of jokes and stories, and she’d be more than willing to tell them. She’d be calm and patient with Ileyna, but have a temper with anyone who was mean to her, and she’d always be there for her little sister. Gradually, the idea of Tallow formed in her head, and then one day, there she was.

With Tallow always with her, Ileyna was finally confident enough to start learning about her new town. She started straying away from her home—sometimes without telling her mother—and visiting Sandpoint’s different shops and taverns just to see what they were like. Sometimes she’d get lost, but Tallow always knew the way home. Whenever they met children, Tallow would encourage Ileyna to introduce herself, and she gradually began to make friends around the city. And when she got scared, Tallow was there to tell her stories or jokes, make her smile, and then get her moving back toward home.

It’s been four years since Tallow came to Ileyna. These days, the younger girl doesn’t need her big sister as much, since she’s got a lot of friends around town. Sometimes she’ll go whole days without seeing her, only to have to apologise over and over when Tallow eventually shows up. Tallow claims she’s not jealous of her little sister’s new friends, but sometimes she seems sad that Ileyna doesn’t need her as much anymore. Not that it matters that much to either of them; after all, they both know that if Ileyna needs help, Tallow is only a whisper away.
