Jasnah is a reserved and statuesque woman. She is widely praised for her beauty, always graceful and dressed immaculately. She is tall and slender with a full chest. She has tan skin and deep black hair that, when unbound, reaches the middle of her back. She has a squarish face and pale violet eyes with an {{wp|epicanthic fold}}.{{ref|b|sa1|c|5}}
Jasnah is generally a stern and serious person, although she occasionally shows a wry sense of humor.{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}} She sometimes acts in a brusque manner, and can be exceptionally rude when someone gets on her bad side.{{ref|b|sa1|c|33}} She is determined, confident, and often stuborn
Jasnah is a self-professed atheist.{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}} This has caused her not an insignificant amount of problems and led to her being ostracized a bit, but she has never compromised in her beliefs for the sake of appearances.{{ref|b|sa1|c|28}} While she is confident in her lack of faith in the [[devotary|devotaries]], like the true scholar that she is, she also always keeps an open mind to the possibility of being wrong. She is content to keep her beliefs to herself, and doesn't particularly care about converting anyone else.{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}}
She reached Kharbranth to continue her research on the Voidbringers. She found out King [[Taravangian]]'s granddaughter was trapped in one of the palace rooms after an highstorm caused a boulder to fall down from the walls, blocking the way in. Taravangian asked for Jasnah's help, to free his granddaughter by Soulcasting the stone. Jasnah accepted to help, in return for free admittance to the [[Palanaeum]]. Shallan Davar, a prospective ward, caught up with her at this point and Jasnah evaluated Shallan's knowledge. Once they reached the boulder that had trapped the king's granddaughter, Jasnah Soulcast the stone into smoke, causing the newly formed smoke to explode because of the difference in density of rock and smoke. After this, she informed Shallan that she wasn't good enough to become her ward. Jasnah left Shallan behind and went to the Palanaeum.{{ref|b|sa1|c|5}} After she collected the books she wanted, she returned to the alcove she'd reserved, and found Shallan there. She was angry to be defied, and told Shallan, not in a kind way, to leave her alone. Shallan, in her embarrassment and disappointment, forgot the [[spheres]] she had used for illumination inside the alcove. Jasnah asked her to return and apologized her for her rudeness. She found out that Shallan was self-taught and found it remarkable, promising if she filled the gaps in her knowledge, she would accept her as her ward. A few hours later, the servants informed her that Shallan was back and that she had her own alcove, intent on studying while in Kharbranth and applying for wardship again. Jasnah decided that if she could not get rid of Shallan, she might as well make use of her and accepted her as her ward.{{ref|b|sa1|c|8}}
She spent the next two months studying and teaching Shallan, in particular having her study the events around the death of King Gavilar, to some frustration from Shallan. Taravangian joined them for lunch one day, where he and Jasnah talked about religion and Jasnah's lack of belief in one. Taravangian asked her about the Soulcaster, but Jasnah refused to answer. He also asked Shallan to make a drawing of him. Shallan happily accepted, but later crumpled it and refused to show it to them, claiming she made a mistake. Jasnah remarked that Shallan never made mistakes while drawing.{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}}
Few days later, she found Shallan and [[Ardent]] [[Kabsal]] in their alcove while he was showing Shallan the [[cymatics|cymatic]] patterns for the four cities of Kholinar, [[Vedenar]], [[Thaylen City|Thaylen]] and [[Akinah]] as a proof of the [[Almighty]]'s existence. Jasnah didn't show surprise by his demonstration, and asked if he could the cymatic pattern for [[Urithiru]] as well, to which Kabsal answered Urithiru was a fable. She was rude to him, and even insulted him and the [[ardentia]] in general. Once Kabsal left, she told Shallan that he wasn't really interested in her, and was only getting close to Shallan, in order to turn her against Jasnah, and get her to steal Jasnah's Soulcaster.{{ref|b|sa1|c|33}}
Eventually, she started trusting Shallan enough to use her as a bathing attendant.{{ref|b|sa1|c|36}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
==== Soulcasting ====
Jasnah can use [[Soulcasting]] in various ways with great precision, ranging from burning letters into a page,{{ref|b|sa1|c|33}} to transforming boulders into smoke,{{ref|b|sa1|c|5}} and purifying Shallan's blood from a poison called [[backbreaker powder]].{{ref|b|sa1|c|50}} She also used Soulcasting as a very deadly weapon when she and Shallan was attacked by four footpads in Kharbranth and she Soulcast their assailants into fire, crystal and smoke.{{ref|b|sa1|c|36}} She has expressed that she is not very capable of Soulcasting organics and she was, indeed, unable to successfully Soulcast the strawberry jam that Kabsal brought to Shallan's hospital room.{{ref|b|sa1|c|48}} Though to be fair, she had never tasted strawberry in her life before, which, without a doubt, contributed to her failure.{{ref|b|sa1|c|72}}
She has also shown the ability to Soulcast multiple targets at distance. In this method of Soulcasting, bolts of [[Stormlight]] can be seen traveling towards the intended target. When Jasnah used this ability to transform two men into smoke, it caused the [[smokestone]] she used to shatter, indicating that this method may use more Stormlight than regular Soulcasting.{{ref|b|sa1|c|36}} This ability may be a specialized version of Soulcasting or a distinct ability resulting from manipulating a combination of the Surges of transformation and transportation.
Jasnah
=== Scholarship ===
Jasnah is one of the leading scholars of her time. She is widely known for her brilliance. Despite her young age, many feel she would have obtained the cap of a master scholar, if it weren't for her vocal denunciation of religion.{{ref|b|sa1|c|3}} Her focus and area of expertise is history. As a Veristitalian, she looks to create a factual and unbiased account of the past events that she feels are misrepresented, in order to better understand the present.{{ref|b|sa1|c|45}}
While researching, Jasnah prefers to collect various passages related to her subject from various sources in a single annotated, and cited notebook. Once she fills the notebook, she evaluates each item for reliability and
