Crislyn, a reporter of the female persuasion, was employed by the Galactic News Network. Her place of work was the Indu GNN bureau located on Indu San. She happened to be at the bureau when Kella Rand found evidence on her holocam recordings that proved Kaleb Darme, a Council Authority officer, was the one who planted a bomb among the members of the Indu Council.
Laurie Burns conceived Crislyn for the short story "Kella Rand, Reporting..." which was published in 1995. In that story, Crislyn only had a single line of spoken text.
