Venli is slender, with a thin face and red-and-white marbled skin. She wears her hair long, down to her waist, and ties it in three places. Her eyes are dark and glassy like all [[singer]]s, though they appear violet in the right light. During the [[War of Reckoning]], she utilizes nimbleform as a substitute for the undiscovered scholarform.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} She later changes into [[stormform]] for the [[Battle of Narak]], making her bulkier and taller, and smiles often while wearing it.{{book ref|sa2|i|13}} Following the battle, she transforms into [[envoyform]].{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} In that form, she has visible breasts and is extremely tall, taller even than the [[Alethi]] humans.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}{{book ref|sa3|109}}
In any form she has, Venli seems to tend towards the fatalistic, putting the odds of things like the war ending or her own survival at rather low.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}{{book ref|sa3|109}} While she wishes she had the power to fight, she does not consider herself to be skilled in this regard, and being on a battlefield distresses her.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}{{book ref|sa3|115}} On the other hand, she's highly ambitious, and by and large does not care about the plight of her people, so long as she gets what she wants -- power and recognition.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} To that end, she can be extremely manipulative and deceitful; however, when those goals, and the respect they'd give her, are threatened, she grows angry.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} She seems jealous of her sister and her position, and tries to take over once the two are both in stormform.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}} It remains unclear how much of Venli's ambition came from having Ulim, a Voidspren, inside of her gemheart for a long period of time.
Eshonai's death is a massive catalyst of change in her.{{book ref|sa3|i|1}} Over time, Venli comes to understand how horrid her actions have been and their true cost, and regrets them deeply, beginning to care about the other singers and their plight. She acknowledges her responsibility for causing the [[Everstorm]] to be summoned, and admits that this was an awful thing to do.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}{{book ref|sa3|121}} However, she retains her prideful streak, and will not accept any compromise with humans.{{book ref|sa3|109}}
