== Appearance and Personality ==
Rysn has the long, white eyebrows typical to the Thaylen, which she tucks behind her ears. She wears a glove on her [[safehand]] although she finds the practice of covering safehands a silly tradition resulting from [[Vorin]] cultural dominance. She usually prefers to wear vests over long-sleeved shirts and ankle-length skirts.{{book ref|sa1|i|4}}

Rysn was astonished to find out the "islands" that the [[Reshi]] lived on were the backs of [[greatshell]]s called [[Tai-na]], much to the amusement of her companions. Like in Shinovar, she found the locals to be primitives and was dismissive of them. Once they landed, Vstim told her that she would have to trade with the Reshi because his weakness would ruin the deal. He encouraged Rysn to be bold while dealing with the Reshi, for they would appreciate that. While Rysn, along with [[Kylrm]] and [[Nlent]], was making her way to the meeting with the Reshi trademaster, she ran across people jumping from the top of the Tai'na into the sea. An [[Aimian]] named [[Axies the Collector]], who was hanging upside down and tied by his feet to a shell nearby as a punishment for asking the king about the soul of his god, informed her that the Reshi did this as a sign of courage. They continued climbing all the way to the Tai-na's head to meet the King who, to the surprise of Rysn, was a woman. A man named [[Talik]] stepped forward and asked Rysn why Vstim was not attending. Rysn informed him she was authorized to handle the trade but Talik told her the deal was off. Rysn continued trying to convince Talik to take the deal, but he would not back down. Rysn, thinking the only way to gain the Reshi's respect was to show her boldness, jumped down from the head of the Tai-na, named [[Relu-na]]. Falling down, for a split second she saw the eye of Relu-na, then felt a rush of wind and crashed into the sea. She fell unconscious.{{book ref|sa2|i|2}}
=== Thaylen Gemstone Reserve ===
Discouraged by a sense of uselessness that came with the paralysis of her legs, Rysn refused to continue traveling with Vstim after her apprenticeship was complete. Worried over the young girl's well-being, Vstim secured a distinguished position for Rysn at the [[Thaylen

▲After she’d done her part in opening the gemstone vault, she’s carried by guards along to Vault Thirteen - which held the [[King's Drop]]--when the guard holding her chair was killed by a queen’s guard. Rysn pulled herself along the floor, tying the King’s Drop to her leg using the captain’s cord after the traitor dropped it fighting with other guards, and made her way towards the door, grabbing the crossbow of a fallen guard as she did. She realized she can’t cock it as she can’t stand, so she tied the captains cord to the crossbow and her chair in a makeshift pulley. She watched as Chiri-Chiri fed on the Voidlight the traitor was holding, then shot the Singer through the chin.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}}
Rysn was later found lying next to Vstim's injured body by [[Dalinar]],
