Beryl
A Lightweaver of Shallan's Unseen Court, a few years older than Shallan and three months a member. Recruited by Veil after rumors of a warcamp prostitute whose face changed to match each client's most-loved person. She claims to have lived so many lives she no longer remembers her real name. In her own face she is quiet and avoids crowds; under a borrowed face she will argue politics and lob insults at the powerful. SA:RoW:Ch 20
Known facts
- soulcasts-with-literal-seedsSoulcasts obsidian into individual grains of lavis by showing the stone a literal seed of what she wants it to become, a technique she developed on her own outside the structure of Jasnah's training. The method works for Vathah as well as for her, and Radiant sets her to teaching it to Ishnah as an experiment.SA:RoW:Ch 26
Events
- SA:RoW:Ch 20 Spars with Darcira wearing borrowed faces; pushes back at Radiant that fighting is the spy's failure mode; ends up on Shallan's short list of envoy candidates.
- SA:RoW:Ch 21 Hurries up the Oathgate ramp with a pack on her shoulder, telling Adolin that Stargyle's wife has fallen sick and so she is taking his place on the envoy instead.
- SA:RoW:Ch 26 Sits among broken-up chunks of obsidian and Soulcasts them into individual grains of lavis using her *seed* trick, then talks quietly about leaving a profession most could not simply walk away from.
- SA:RoW:Ch 32 Walks beside Shallan on the march, asking for help finding her Lightweaving focus; reads as honestly frustrated, with no tell Veil can spot.
- SA:RoW:Ch 34 Sitting behind the others, pulled into the council by Radiant; deflects, wears a flowing classical dress with both hands hidden in long sleeves, and afterwards admits she does not feel ready to be here.
- SA:RoW:Ch 36 Visibly nauseated by the corpses; her shock pushes Veil to reconsider whether she could really be the Ghostblood spy.
