Blended
An inkspren of monochrome ebony with faint oil-on-steel sheen, official emissary of her people to Lasting Integrity and — by reluctant assignment — Adolin's tutor in honorspren trial procedure. She speaks in a clipped, inverted style (the prince *is*; their time *is not*), has no love for the honorspren she lives among, and would, by her own admission, kill any human who tried to bond her rather than risk coercion. SA:RoW:Ch 78
Known facts
- testified-against-adolinAlthough hired as Adolin's legal tutor, Blended testified against him at his trial by witness in Lasting Integrity — wanting him well-trained so that the trial could be fair, but holding to her own inkspren hatred of human bonds. Her testimony made plain that, on the question of trusting humans, inkspren and honorspren agree.SA:RoW:Ch 87
- engineered-mayas-witnessSuggested to the honorspren elders that they invoke the obscure provision letting a judge speak for a witness incapable of testifying — knowing how cruelly they would use a deadeye — because she wanted to know whether Adolin's claim that Maya had spoken to him was true. The records of her name proved out. The cruelty, she allows, is the elders' shame, not hers.SA:RoW:Ch 94
