Suikoden II
"Bolgan likes Riou, but Eilie.... she LOVES Riou."

- Bolgan

Eilie is a part of a travelling group of circus performers along with Rina and Bolgan. Eilie and her group had traveled ever since leaving the Grassland. Eilie performed as a knife thrower and was said to possess considerable skill.

Eilie and her travelling group first encountered Riou while performing in Ryube when Eilie selected Riou as part of her act. After the performance, Eilie, Rina, and Bolgan travelled with Riou to the Highland Kingdom. However, business proved poor in Highland and the trio quickly moved back to the City-States of Jowston. After being reunited with Riou, Eilie followed him to South Window, becoming part of the New State Army.

Eilie expressed great concern for Riou during the Dunan Unification War and did her best to cheer him on. Eilie also tried to think of a new attraction for the circus as North Window Castle's population began to grow.

Following the end of the war, Eilie returned to her life as travelling performer, but often thought of Riou.

Personality and Traits
Despite her role as a performer, Eilie could be somewhat shy, especially in romance. Though she had a crush on Riou, whenever Rina or Bolgan mentioned it, she would quickly try to silence them. Despite her attempts to keep her feelings quiet, her behavior made her feelings obvious.

Eilie was also said to have a large inferiority complex towards her sister, Rina. The two were said to be as different as dogs and cats.
