Biography
"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. When she was a child, her parents were killed by thieves, leaving her sister, Rina as her only family. The two had traveled ever since leaving the Grassland. Eilie performed as a knife thrower, having perfected the basics she had learned from her parents, and was said to possess considerable skill.

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

Eilie expressed great concern during the Dunan Unification War and did her best to cheer him on. She gradually fell in love with the New State Army leader but was unable to express her feelings, partly due to her sister complex. Following the end of the war, Eilie returned to her life as travelling performer, but often thought of her love, even if she never communicated her feelings to him.

Personality and Traits
Although usually labeled as implusive and despite her role as a performer, Eilie was actually quite shy. Eilie was also said to have a large inferiority complex towards her sister, Rina.
