Malata
A middle-aged lighteyed Veden woman in southern dress and gloves, hair cut short in a boyish style — the newest Knight Radiant, a Dustbringer (the order itself prefers *Releaser*, per the spren's telling). Walks at Taravangian's side from Jah Keved with a hint of a smile on her lips at all times; carries a pocketful of spheres bright enough to shine through her skirt. SA:OB:Ch 24

Events
- SA:OB:Ch 24 Materializes her Shardblade onto her shoulder when Adrotagia introduces her; lounges beside the Dustbringer sigil during Teshav's tour, smiling faintly at Dalinar every time he looks her way.
- SA:OB:Ch 27 In Thaylen merchant dress with her hair cut short, idly notes to Shallan that the Radiants are *four* now (forgetting Kaladin), questions whether *Desolation* is more than an Alethi story, and saunters back to Taravangian with a wink.
- SA:OB:Ch 58 Stands at Navani's shoulder watching the keyhole, then summons her Blade to drive into the Oathgate mechanism and rotates it to swap the control buildings between Urithiru and Thaylen City.
- SA:OB:Ch 107 Joins Taravangian and Adrotagia in their rooms in Thaylen-style skirt and leggings; complains the tower is full of frozen idiots, and demonstrates her Surge of Division by laying her ungloved safehand on the table and etching a masterwork of swirls into the wood that smells of burning. Reports her spren Spark is content with the work, citing what the ancient Radiants did to her kind.
