Gil grew up in a remote village close to Tan in Enipel. Even at a young age, Gil was thought to be a little strange. She would sit for hours talking to garkrid or hunting down elusive pagefourus to keep as pets. Tokari, a local elder who lived in a cottage near the village, spotted her talents for what they were and volunteered to care for the youngster. Tokari tried his best to discourage Gil from keeping too many dangerous creatures as pets, although with minimal success. The time when Gil managed to acquire a young kelahn caused great consternation amongst the local villagers and Tokari thought it best to send Gil to the colleges of Larigal where she might hopefully be looked after by the renowned engineers.
