===The Butcher===
After his death, Wistiow was replaced by Brightord [[Roshone]] as the lord of Hearthstone.{{book ref|sa1|25}} On the day of his arrival, Hesina was found by Kaladin, cleaning and working at the town hall. Frustrated with the gossiping townsfolk, Kaladin spoke to his mother about the rumors surrounding their family as well as his place within the town. While talking, Hesina admitted that she had hoped for Kaladin to be able to marry [[Laral]], the daughter of Brightlord Wistiow. The arrival of Roshone, pulled Hesina away from her work, as the town gathered to greet the new Brightlord. Joining her second son Tien, who had saved places for the family in the town square, Hesina and her family waited to greet the new citylord. Roshone's arrival did not bode well for the family, with the Brightlord taking an immediate disliking towards her husband, despite Lirin's attempts to welcome the him to Hearthstone.{{book ref|sa1|25}}
===Torment of the Family===
Roshone, aware of the inherited spheres and the possibility of their illegitimate procurement, demanded their return, of which Lirin refused. Roshone continued to fuel the rumors that the sphere'sspheres had been stolen and the agreement forged, whilst also driving the family towards destitution.{{book ref|sa1|37}} Despite his best efforts, Hesina and her family did not suffer as much as Roshone assumed, as the townsfolk continued donating to the family in secret, leaving food around the town for Hesina to find.{{book ref|sa1|37}} When the possibilities of work for Hesina dried up due to Roshone's meddling, Lirin met with the Brightlord to discuss the disputed sphere'sspheres and the familiesfamily's situation. In an attempt to hide the meeting between Lirin and Roshone, Hesina recruited her son'ssons to help her with housework, hoping to keeping them distracted and occupied. Ultimately, her plan was unsuccessful, and Kaladin escaped his duties, joining his father in Lirin's meeting with Roshone. After the meeting, Kaladin discovered his fathersfather's plans to deceive Roshone, as well as the truth behind the acquisition of Wistiow's wealth. Kaladin was shocked not only to learn that the rumors that the sphere'sspheres were stolestolen were true, but also that his mother had beentaken apartpart ofin their theft.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
Following the death of Roshone's son [[Rillir]], the family fell further towards poverty and Hesina and her husband began to spend slowly spend the stolen sphere'sspheres. This was done deliberately; while the family indeed struggled, the spherespheres were spent, not because it was required, but instead as a way to deceive Roshone and deflect his attention.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
===The Weeping of {{Rosharan date|1168}}===
Despite their attempts to curb Roshone's anger, Hesina and her husband were ultimately unsuccessful. After spending time with her sons in the rain, Hesina and her family joined the townsfolk of Hearthstone to welcome Highmarshal [[Amaram]]--a general for the Highprince and cousin of Roshone. Amaram, who had gone to Hearthstone to visit his cousin, used his visit as a recruitment opportunity for the princedom's army. After only six men volunteered, Amaram began conscripting men from the village, including Hesina's son Tien. Unlike his father and brother, Tien wasn't exempt from conscription on the basis of his duties, a fact that Roshone exploited, impressing the boy as retribution for Lirin's inability to save his own son's life. Kaladin, unable to let his brother face the battlefield alone, volunteered to join, promising his parents that he would keep his younger sibling safe from harm.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
Less than four months later, Tien was killed.{{book ref|sa1|67}} After his death, Hesina received a short message from Kaladin, informing them of his brothersbrother's death and that he would not be returning to Hearthstone. They did not send him a reply.{{book ref|sa1|47}} Years later, after Kaladin was sold into slavery, Hesina and Lirin received word that he had also been killed.{{book ref|sa3|6}} Roshone's guilt over what he had done lessened his hostility towards Hesina and her husband, with life quieting down somewhat after the departure of their children.{{book ref|sa3|6}}
===After the Everstorm===
After the coming of the [[Everstorm]], Hesina was reunited with her Kaladin, when he returned to Hearthstone. After arriving at the battered manor, Kaladin located his mother and father in the parlor--, tending to those who were wounded by the Everstorm. While her husband argued with Roshone's guards, Hesina saw to her son, feeding him and filling him in on their family's situation. Later, after he spoke privately with Roshone and Laral, Hesina introduced Kaladin to his younger brother, [[Oroden]].
