== History ==
=== The Final Empire ===
Paalm served the Lord Ruler directly. She was specifically reserved for his missions. She stopped rebellions and toppled kingdoms in his service, and became intimately familiar with the workings of Hemalurgy. She was utterly loyal to the Lord Ruler until the Final Ascension, when she switched her loyalties to Harmony, to the point of fanaticism.{{book ref|mb5|13}}
=== Lessie ===
At Harmony's direction, Paalm took the form of a human woman named Lessie in order to seek out and protect [[Wax]] in the Roughs.{{book ref|mb5|26}}
Wax first encountered Lessie at The Weeping Bull, where she was disguised as dancer. He remarks later during their second encounter that she was very uncoordinated and wore a pink garter. Wax formally met her while hunting [[Granite Joe]]. She claimed to be hunting him as well but was actually in Granite Joe's employ. As Paalm was actually working to protect Wax at Harmony's behest, Lessie seemingly had a change of heart when Wax told her that he still thought her legs were pretty, and Lessie shot Granite Joe in the neck with her crossbow.{{book ref|mb5|prologue}}
After this time, Lessie became a law-woman alongside Wax. During their time together, the two became romantically involved.
While hunting [[Bloody Tan]] in his lair in the town of [[Feltrel]], Lessie and Wax split up. At some point she is taken hostage. Wax attempts to shoot Bloody Tan who is using Lessie as a human shield but he pulls Lessie into the the path of Wax's bullet, making her take the shot to the head, seemingly killing her.{{book ref|mb4|prologue}}
As part of Harmony's plan, Wax moved back to [[Elendel]], and Paalm's time as Lessie was over. Some time afterwards, she went on a murderous rampage and broke free of Harmony's influence, disobeying her contract with him.{{book ref|mb5|7}}{{book ref|mb5|13}}{{book ref|mb5|26}}
== Abilities ==
As a kandra of the Third Generation, Paalm excels at creating bodies. Her considerable expertise comes from her history of service to the Lord Ruler, time spent crushing entire kingdoms and rebellions for him. She has also learned a great deal about Hemalurgy, learning how to grant herself Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities with spikes of an unknown metal. She is proficient with her stolen abilities, but seems to prefer to employ Feruchemical [[steel]]. She has the knowledge to create at least one new kind of Hemalurgic construct using only a single spike in their creation.{{book ref|mb5|13}}{{book ref|mb5|21}}
