Zu is an Iriali Stoneward on Roshar bonded to Ua'pam.[1]
Appearance and Personality
Zu has golden hair and bronze skin that seems metallic.[2][1] She wears traditional clothing, a wrap around the chest (like a warrior's sarashi) with loose flowing trousers and a thick coat.[1][3]
She prefers her Shardblade to be long and slender, with a wicked curve, though she can change its shape.[2]
Zu is eager and excitable.[4] She is blunt and to the point, yet playful.[3][5]
She has a strong relationship with Ua'pam, hugging him as she entered Shadesmar.[1] He often preaches precaution, which she ignores to playfully unnerve him.[3]
Abilities and Attributes
Zu speaks Alethi well. She is more skilled with weaponry and stealth than her account of her past allows.[2][3] She has the gracefulness of an Edgedancer.[3]
Surgebinding
As a Stoneward, Zu has the ability to manipulate the Surges of Tension and Cohesion through her Nahel bond with her peakspren.[6] The surge of Cohesion gives her the ability to reshape stone.[3] The surge of Tension gives her the ability to control the hardness of an object allowing her to harden clothing into weapons.[3]
History
Early life
Zu was turned out by her people as her powers manifested and they did not know she was a Radiant, believing she was cursed by a god.[2] She fled to the Reshi Isles to avoid people making rules about how she should live. While there, she worked as a guide, giving her brief combat experience.[1]
Mission to Lasting Integrity
In 1175, Zu went on the diplomatic mission to Lasting Integrity to try to convince more honorspren to bond with Knights Radiant.[2] She is among the group that returned to Dalinar once Adolin and Shallan entered the city.[7]
