Ilknur, known as the caring one, always put others before her needs. She was always careful where she stepped; she did feel bad whenever she accidentally stepped on the tiniest of flowers.
She had a very close relationship with the First Shadow (A Shadow Clan member, to make it clear). The two have always been quite close. They fought enemies, discussed topics, ate meals together, among other things.
Ilknur lost her sight when she and the First Shadow fought a Djinn, who, at some point, blinded Ilknur before he was eventually killed by the First Shadow.
Ilknur didn’t let getting blinded hinder her in life. She adapted quickly. Her hearing got better, she could smell more changes in the air, she sensed the electronic changes and vibrations in the air through her antennae better, and she felt the sound waves traveling through the ground under her feet.
However, one day, the 99 Caverns suddenly got separated/closed from the other caverns. The last time Ilknur heard from the First Shadow was that he was feeling unwell. Ilknur knew what that meant.
Even after the separation, Ilknur did her duty, leading the Bright Clan and protecting the Anadolu Caverns. A few centuries later, Ilknur passed away.
Her corpse was laid in the Misty Cavern. She wanted her body to be uncovered, so other creatures could eat of her body. Just like how Whale falls are important for marine ecosystems. Ilknur’s body was consumed by the creatures of the Misty Cavern.
Ilknur’s spirit lingers in the Misty cavern, helping travelers by guiding them through the Light Guider flower’s seeds.
It is said that only kids can see Ilknur’s spirit because they are innocent. But Ilknur will also show herself to those of good heart and soul.

The Light Guider Flower: The Light Guider flower grows on the cavern ceiling only in the Misty cavern. The seed of the LG Flower can travel through the air and wind. It is used by travelers to help them traverse through the Misty Cavern (Since the cavern is very big).
It is said that the flower came from Ilknur’s corpse, her last gift to Anadolu Caverns, to help anyone who travels through the Misty Cavern.
The Offering Table: Before anyone enters the Misty Cavern, people put food on the Offering Table before entering the mist, as a way to show reverence and gratitude to Ilknur’s spirit. Folks even put offerings on the stone table after they traveled out of the mist.

(I finally decided to call the Middle Eastern Caverns the Anadolu Caverns instead.)

And that's all folks!
