illuminator [ih-loo-muh-ney-ter] noun 1. a person or thing that illuminates. 2. a device for illuminating, as a light source with a lens or mirror for concentrating light. 3. a person who paints manuscripts, books, etc., with designs in color, gold, or the like. She was always told she brought light, whether to a situation, or to a simple cloudy day. She was good at that. Her child-like mischief and curiosity never seemed to dim as she grew. That's why she chose the name. Hoping someday to be small light in the vast universe. And she'd stop at nothing to become that. These are records of her time spent in a spacecraft, and the journeys she went on. And as always, the people she picked up along the way.
