=== Sarene ===
When [[Sarene]] is a little girl, she can't pronounce "Uncle Kiin," and nicknames him "Hunkey Kay." She has a vague idea that he is a merchant because of the gifts he always has for her when he visits in between trips. Her understanding of his absence is that he left on a voyage like any other and ended up settling on some far island. After Sarene comes to [[Arelon]] to wed [[Raoden]], she reconnects with Kiin.{{book ref|elantris|5}}
