gift-from-reshi-tradingWas given to Rysn during a trading expedition in the Reshi Isles and is the only larkin Rysn has ever seen.SA:DS:Ch 1
drains-stormlight-and-voidlightRysn uses Chiri-Chiri as a Voidlight detector on Nikli after his arrest — confirming what the Radiants had already noticed, that the larkin will drain both Stormlight and Voidlight off any nearby vessel, and the absence of a reaction is meaningful.SA:DS:Ch 9
ancient-guardianNikli names Chiri-Chiri an Ancient Guardian when she returns to the vault under Akinah to stand between Rysn and the Sleepless: she is the third surviving larkin the Sleepless now know of, and the first to grow mature enough to come back here for the special small-and-potent mandras that let her kind fly. She will need to return every few years to bond more, or be crushed by her own weight as she grows toward the chasmfiend size of her ancestors.SA:DS:Ch 19

SA:DS:Ch 1 Rides in Rysn's palanquin, then flies up to drink the Stormlight out of an Urithiru lamp fixture before settling on the queen's desk to play with diamond chips.
SA:DS:Ch 3 Dozes in Rysn's lap on the quarterdeck while the boarding paperwork and arguments unfold around them.
SA:DS:Ch 5 Peeks lethargically from her box in Rysn's cabin and chirps a thin note of concern as the planning unfolds.

SA:DS:Ch 11 Lies limp in Rysn's arms until luckspren drop low over the island, then takes off with the first real energy in weeks, chases the spren, and dives off the ship into the bay.
SA:DS:Ch 19 Returns full of colour, leaps to a greatshell skull and roars, then plants herself on the bench-table between Rysn and Nikli — the Ancient Guardian whose presence stops the Sleepless mid-attack.
SA:DS:Epilogue Curls into a nest of towels in Rysn's cabin, all her violet-brown colour back, bouncing and flying near the ceiling as the Wandersail clears the storm around Akinah.
SA:WaT:I-15 Curls in Rysn's lap — now as large as a small axehound — through the negotiation, and writhes on the floor in pain when the two Dawnshards begin to draw together.
