“I want to help! I want to do something other than stand around, waiting for the enemy to come to us! ”
—Lyn on why she wants to become a Windrunner[2]
Lyn es una explorador alezi y, más tarde, Corredora del Viento en Roshar.[2]
Apariencia y personalidad
Lyn es una mujer alezi de ojos oscuros baja y «de aspecto recio» con pelo negro largo, que lleva en una coleta o trenza.[3][4][5] Normalmente viste el uniforme azul de los Kholin.[6]
Está interesada en las artes masculinas y no le gusta que la traten como si no pudiera luchar solo porque es mujer. Queda decepcionada cuando Shallan le comenta que una Radiante puede ser femenina, y cuando Kaladin le sugiere ser secretaria, se enfurece.[7][6] Es impaciente y entusiasta, y quiere enfrentarse al enemigo en vez de esperar que el enemigo llegue.[6][2] También se le da bien hacer amigos, como demuestra al juntarse con el Puente Cuatro sin ningún problema, y aprecia el buen arte.[8][7] Es capaz de mantener la sangre fría en situaciones estresantes y ponerse al mando cuando es necesario.[4][9]
Atributos y habilidades
“I could [stab Amaram a little]. I've only started training with a spear. We could claim it was an accident. ”
—Lyn on her own combat ability[8]
Lyn es una Corredora del Viento, lo que le permite curarse con luz tormentosa y usar las Potencias de la Gravitación y Adhesion.[1] Aunque nunca aparece usando la segunda, es capaz de volar en la Batalla de la Explanada Thayleña.[10] Como exploradora, iba armada con un cuchillo y seguramente sabía cómo usarlo.[11] Después de unirse al Puente Cuatro, empieza a usar una lanza, aunque, como dice ella misma, no es más que una principiante.[8] También es capaz de dibujar de memoria los terrenos que explora, aunque prioriza la velocidad por encima de la calidad.[3]
History
Exploradora y mensajera
Lyn era una de las exploradoras que acompañaron la expedición de Dalinar Kholin hacia el centro de las Llanuras Quebradas. Ella, junto a Shim y Felt, ayudó a Shallan a cartografiar las mesetas durante la Batalla de Narak con sus ilustraciones.[3]
Después de que los alezi se trasladaran a Urithiru, Lyn empezó a trabajar como mensajera. Fue quien informó a Dalinar sobre el asesinato de Vedekar Perel, así como quien lo fue a buscar cuando el Puente Cuatro encontró Juramentada.[7][12] Al mismo tiempo, empezó a pasar tiempo con el Puente Cuatro, e incluso fue con ellos para investigar lo que resultó ser Re-Shephir. Allí, Lyn fue la primera en darse cuenta de la Esencia de Medianoche. Durante la batalla que siguió, dio primeros auxilios a los heridos.[4]
Windrunner Squire
When Kaladin returned and Bridge Four began to recruit squires, Lyn attempted to join. Kaladin initially thought she wanted to be a scribe, but after the situation was cleared up, he allowed her and four other scout women to join.[6] Lyn initially had problems breathing in Stormlight, but with Skar's help, managed to do so, becoming a proper squire.[2] Eventually, the rest of her squad joined her.[13]
From then on, Lyn easily slid into Bridge Four's structure, becoming fast friends with other members. Shortly before the Battle of Thaylen Field, she was on good enough terms to know their history with Amaram, even suggesting that she could "stab him a little" for them.[8] When Jezrien's Honorblade was stolen, she was present, and ordered another scout to fetch Renarin to help with Rock's wounds.[9]
After Teft managed to swear his Third Ideal, Lyn came to Thaylen City along with the rest of Bridge Four, carrying Rock until he was close enough to Kaladin to start healing himself with Stormlight. Afterwards, she participated in the fighting.[10] She survived the battle, and was last seen listening to Lopen's story of how he lost his arm.[14]
Windrunner
Lyn was on one of the missions initially sent to Akinah to scout prior to Rysn's expedition. Although this expedition was a failure, she and Sigzil rescued Leyten after his Stormlight was sucked away by a Sleepless.[1] She swore her third ideal and is now a full Windrunner. [15]
She was part of the team that went back to Hearthstone and rescue its people including Kaladin’s family.[16]
Lyn left with Dalinar to fight the Emul campaign. There she led scouting to Urithiru. She talked to the soldier that was sent by the Fused pretending to be from the queen, who used the correct passwords and had the correct language. Urithiru’s soldiers had to hike for hours to meet them and the scouts were only able to see through spyglasses and saw what they thought were Windrunners flying over the tower trying to ask for patience.[17]
She did try to approach the tower herself, but due to Urithiru’s barrier she fell unconscious. The tower’s soldier dragged back her to the others.[17]
Lyn is one of the most trusted Windrunners, this is proven by the fact that she was given the responsibility of lashing Dalinar to meet the Herald Ishar.[18] Later, she was part of the five windunners that fought the Herald who easily disabled them by only defending himself.[19]
Lyn also participated on the scouting team that came back after Ishar and his army left to the cognitive realm. There she found a killed cultivationspren, along with the other killed spren found by the other members of team.[19]
Relationships
Kaladin
Kaladin was able to understand that Lyn had been running messages to Bridge Four because she wanted to be part of the team, however he assumed she would be a scribe and offered her that role. She spoke her mind and was then invited by him to join the tryouts.[6]
“Their relationship hadn’t been right. He knew that as well as she did, and the pain he felt wasn’t for the end of that. Not specifically. ”
—Kaladin to himself on breaking up with Lyn.[16]
Adolin and Syl conspired on getting Kaladin to date Lyn. Though the relationship hadn’t worked out, they’d both grown because of it. They went together to Skar’s wedding shortly before they broke up.[20] She still cared about him and showed she had genuine concern.[16]
Trivia
- Lyn was named after Lyndsey Luther, who made a post in a Reddit thread asking what fictional world people would want to live in, replying with The Way of Kings. Brandon asked her to send him her information so he could insert her as a character in the next book, Words of Radiance. She was also chosen to be a beta reader.[21][22]
