Lift spent some time in [[Marabethia]], where she was hunted by Darkness, because he believed that her Surgebinding could bring another [[Desolation]] to Roshar.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} She fled Marabethia and went to the capital of Azir, Azimir. There, Lift fell in with a crew of thieves. The crew was made up of [[Tigzikk]], who Lift called Tig, [[Huqin]], his nephew Gawx, [[Maxin]], and two unnamed brothers who were quick with knives. Tigzikk was the only one Lift knew well. An informant told him which night would be good for robbing the [[Bronze Palace]], while the vizerate was busy choosing a new [[Prime Aqasix]], following the death of the last two at the hands of [[Szeth]]. Lift could have robbed the palace on her own, but she felt like she owed it to Tigzikk to help him, and she wanted to make sure that he would be safe.
Sometime between visiting the Nightwatcher and the events of her first interlude, Lift met Hoid.{{wob ref
=== Bronze Palace Heist ===
=== Surgebinding ===
Lift has formed a [[Nahel bond]] with Wyndle, which grants her the ability to Surgebind, although Lift herself is not entirely certain whether she believes this.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} As with all Surgebinders, Lift gains superhuman strength and speed when she holds [[Stormlight]], as well as the ability to heal quickly from non-mortal wounds. When Lift is invested with Stormlight, she refers to it as her "Awesomeness." She is a member of the order of Radiants known as the Edgedancers. This gives her access to two Surges, Friction and Growth. Lift also has a rare and possibly unique ability to convert food to Stormlight through consumption. While this may seem a great blessing, it hinders her ability to gather Stormlight from gemstones and other sources.{{wob ref|
; Abrasion:
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|sa2|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|sa2|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.{{
It is hinted that Lift wished to remain the same, not change, or to remain young.{{book ref|sa2.5|15}} The actual boon and curse are still unknown.
== Trivia ==
* Unlike Hoid, Lift doesn't like bacon.{{reddit ref|date=2017-12-03|Stormlight_Archive|7haotl|text=Hoid doesn't like Bacon}}
* There are foods that she hates, but they are hard to find.{{wob ref
* Lift sees Wyndle as a slightly longer vine in the Physical Realm than most Edgedancers see their cultivationspren, but the difference is slight.{{wob ref
* It is significant that Lift "stopped aging" at 10 years old. {{wob ref
