{{quote|You’re my pet [[Voidbringer]], and no lies are going to change that. I got you captured. No stealing souls, now. We ain’t here for souls. Just a little thievery, the type what never hurt nobody.|Lift to [[Wyndle]]{{book ref|wor|i|9}}}}
'''Lift''' is a [[Reshi]] thief who works in the city of [[Azimir]] in [[Azir]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|wor|i|9}} She has [[Surgebinding]] abilities that correspond with the [[Order of Edgedancers]].
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Lift's visit to the Nightwatcher leaves her with a rather unique trait, one that is not among the typical power set of the Edgedancers.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} She exists partially in the Cognitive realm, which grants her some special abilities. The first is that she can touch spren, something that is supposed to be impossible, as they exist mostly in the Cognitive realm. This ability greatly helps Lift with her thievery, as Wyndle takes the form of a vine. He can make handholds or increase the width of ledges for Lift by growing where she needs to go, but no one else is able to see or touch him.
 
Lift's other power is even more impressive.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} Most Surgebinders need to draw Stormlight from an external source in order to manipulate the Surges. Lift, however, can metabolize food directly into Stormlight, instead of sugar.{{17s ref|post|245060|What she can do is she can metabolize into investiture instead of sugar.|date=February 20, 2015}} Food that she can metabolize quicker, such as bread can be metabolized into Stormlight faster than something like sausage, but may provide less Stormlight overall because it has fewer calories. She can also convert the energy reserves in her own body into Stormlight. ThisThese abilityabilities wasare unique to Lift.{{qa ref|1084|15|Lift is one of a kind.|date=August 13, 2014}} However, this power can be dangerous thoughtoo, as she often risks malnutrition when she burns through all her excess energy.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} There is another issue with the fact that Lift can gain Stormlight from food. She does not learn how to drain Stormlight from external sources, so the amount of Stormlight she can use is limited by the amount of food she has eaten.

== Development ==
Lift is a character that [[Brandon Sanderson]] has had in his head for quite a while.{{qa ref|1112|28|You will get a lot more with Lift.|date=April 16, 2014}} She is a classic example of what he is hoping to do with a broader series, such as the [[Stormlight Archive]]. With the extra space a multi-book series allows, Brandon wants to create a world full of cultures and characters that are less common in fantasy and science fiction. Lift is an outgrowth of this desire. Brandon wants the [[Knights Radiant]] to be something different than classical European knights. He doesn't want them to all be young, white, men, swearing oaths of chivalry and valor. Brandon was looking for a character that would be interesting and popular, but no one's first idea when they thought of a knight. Lift, a thirteen year old Hispanic girl on a thieving crew with a weird sense of morality, is the result. Brandon hopes that playing with concepts like these, and stretching our ideas of what a fantasy book and it's characters should look like will allow him to avoid the staleness that is a common complaint in science fiction and fantasy.
 
Lift's appearance in an interlude in [[Words of Radiance]] will be the first of many.{{qa ref|1080|1|Lift, specifically, is one of the characters in the back five.|date=March 19, 2014}} Brandon decided to write an interlude featuring here, as a sort of "seed" for her future appearances.{{qa ref|1069|14|Lift is seeded there because she will be very important later on.|date=March 11, 2014}} She is one of the flashback characters for the second five book arc in the Stormlight Archive,{{qa ref|1047|21|Yes, Lift is one of the characters who was originally planned for the back five.|date=March 21, 2014}} something that Brandon has planned for a long time.{{qa ref|1112|28}} As one of the characters in the back five books, Lift will become even more prominent as the series continues.{{qa ref|1030|4|It will focus mostly on different characters|date=August 31, 2013}} Brandon intends to perhaps even write a few more short stories featuring Lift before he publishes her books.{{qa ref|1052|76|And I'll probably do some more shorts with Lift because she is so much fun.|date=March 21, 2014}}
