Scillara was a camp follower of Sha'ik's army in the Raraku desert. She reminisced at one point about her biological mother having been a camp follower of the Ashok Regiment before they were sent overseas and that her father would have been one of the soldiers. Scillara was described as voluptuous with a throaty laugh, catching the eye of many an admirer. She was taken as a young girl and forcibly circumcised by Bidithal. She was also prostituted by the mage, which led to her pregnancy.
