'''Rysn''' is a young woman from [[ThaylenahThaylen]] woman on [[Roshar]]. She currently works in the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]], managing Queen [[Fen]]'s personal finances. Previously she was an an apprentice merchant under her [[babsk]], [[Vstim]]. She has a pet [[larkin]] whichwhom she calls [[Chiri-Chiri]].

Rysn has the long, white eyebrows typical to the Thaylen, thatwhich 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}}

Five months into her apprenticeship to Vstim, Rysn went to [[Shinovar]] with her babsk to trade [[Soulcast]] metal for chickens[[chicken]]s, cloths, and exotic dried meats. She found Shinovar very strange because of its ecology, lack of [[spren]], and the [[Shin]] culture. After setting up an [[Alerter]] [[fabrial]], they met with their contact [[Thresh|Thresh-son-Esan]]. She was surprised to learn that soldiers are the lowliest of men among the Shin while farmers are lavished with attention and respect. Vstim and Thresh started bargaining, each one taking pains to explain how worthless their wares were, which Rysn found very uncharacteristic of her babsk. They eventually came to an agreement, and Vstim asked Rysn what she learned. She answered that the Shin are a humble people and remarked on their strange haggling style. Vstim told Rysn to get a pot of the Shin grass and care for it until she no longer found it odd, saying that would make her a better merchant. She thought the grass was imbecilic.{{book ref|sa1|i|4}}

Despite what Rysn thought, the goods they bought from the Shin proved to be very profitable. This caused Rysn to name her pot of grass ''Tyvnk'', meaning "sullen", because --she refused to befeel sullen atover being so overtly wrong while Vstim was right, so she let her grass be so. They eventually made their way to the [[Reshi Sea]] with a caravan of sixteen longboats laden with people and goods purchased cheaply in lands rimming the [[Purelake]], guided by a Purelaker named [[Gu]]. Rysn acted as the trademaster because of Vstim's sickness.{{book ref|sa2|i|2}}

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. andHe 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 tointo 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 be met bymeet the King, who, wasto athe womansurprise toof Rysn's surprise, andwas hera guardswoman. 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, whose name Talik had told her wasnamed [[Relu-na]]. Falling down, for a split second she saw the eye of the Relu-na, then felt a rush of wind and crashed into the sea. She fell unconscious.{{book ref|sa2|i|2}}

When she woke up, Vstim told her ''that Relu-na'' had slowed her fall and saved her life. Rysn figured out that Talik was a former apprentice of Vstim, hewho wasn't as sick as he appeared to Rysn. and heHe had set up the trade with the Reshi as a practice run for Rysn. Vstim told her she had both her legs shatteredshattere,d and he didn't know if she would walk again. He told her, however, that she would most definitely trade again, and that the other Reshi islands would line up to trade with them. He told her they had come to the island to trade for the corpse of a larkin. Rysn was also gifted with a live larkin by Relu-na.{{book ref|sa2|i|2}}
