Rynn was born a twin, which curious as it was, proved difficult on her already somewhat large family. Her elder brothers, both twins themselves, Ezekiel and Simon, were rambunctious and often rough-housed with their younger brother and sister. Being the only girl in the family besides her mother, she was somewhat of an oddity and a celebrity among her brothers. Ramond, her twin, sicklier and gaunter than she, was quickly pushed to the side by their older brothers as Rynn proved herself to rule over the little family. She was playful, but she was mean in a way the brothers weren't quite used. She tattled often when fights got too rough and she avoided taking the blame for anything she did wrong, thinking it amusing when her brothers got in trouble rather than she. Quickly, the relationship she had with her brothers soured, as one would in such a case. Their fights became ever rougher and their words even more barbed. Rynn, confused of the change, would merely play along and in doing so, her brothers grew to loathe her even more. It was Ramond who finally expressed his discontent to the other brothers, stating that she should be chased away, or simply left behind during one of their games. The boys suggested a game of hide and seek, and rather than stay in the small meadow they often played in, the older brothers led the two younger twins out of their comfort zone. While nervous, Rynn had agreed to play and assumed that when they were finished they'd be able to all go home and she'd slowly learnt he route for any other time they wished to play out here in the sandy grass outside the little forest she'd grown up in. 

She ran off quickly, finding a dead tree to hide beside, and waited. Her brothers shrieked and shouted for a while before everything when quiet, their giggles disappearing from the dusk air. She continued to wait, and nodded off, deaf to her father and mother's calling of her name. Come morning Rynn attempted to find her way back using the scents of her brothers and the like, but eventually lost their traces and found herself in the unfamiliarity of the forest yet again. She would travel about, and then eventually into the desert. She fell prey quickly to quicksand, but once exhausted, before passing out yet again, she noticed the figure of another come to save her, their wings easily visible. She quietly thanked Alya and then dazed off, hazy from exhaustion and heat. When she came to, she was alone, the thick mud still coating her coat and providing a protective layer from the sun. Rynn proceeded to travel about the desert, slowly becoming used to living on her own. She met a bard traveling there and followed him for a short time, listening to what he had to teach her and the stories he told. She gradually adopted them as her own, changing little facts to make them appear even more mystical, and struck off alone again. 

Rynn stayed a few more years collecting stories from Serora before moving up out of Sedo and up Sirith towards Eithne and Onea. She would travel for several months, stopping often to share her tales and rest. By the time she reached Onea, she was frightfully ill-timed. The mare survived her first Cultist run in by banding with another mare and, once they were being pursued, leaping of the trail and into a heavily wooded area. The mare was able to hide, though she is not sure if her partner was as lucky. She travelled along a few more months before returning to Eithne, gathering more tales, sharing more. Later in her life she would return to Onea, again at a time she shouldn't have. This time she banded with a larger group. Again, the night ended in blood, though this time Rynn witnessed it. She immortalizes her fright on the night and uses the story to warn others of the dangers of the Cultists (Wandering Stars). On her return journey, as she began making her way back to the southern tip of Hireath, more than ready to return to Alya and Sedo, she banded together again. This time, her group faced the perils of Ursa Majors and again, Rynn gained more scars to her coat (No Safe Haven). Finally out of Onea, Rynn recently witnessed the reincarnation of a kirin, she did not stay long at the scene, resting before striking off alone again, leaving the kirin and any in the group that wished to, to stay behind and aide them. Rynn was set on returning to her home in the desert (Witness to Fate).
