| They dress in painted sequins. They drink wine. They laugh, and smile, and play, and dance, and eat, and quietly kill. All part of Harmony's plan. All actors on a stage. That's what you are too, Waxillium Ladrian. It's what all men are.

Sometime after Lessie's supposed death, she chose to remove one of her [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic spikes]]. She used only a single spike at a time to avoid being under [[Harmony]]'s influence.{{book ref|mb5|7}} She used spikes of a metal unknown even to Harmony to grant herself [[Allomantic]] and [[Feruchemical]] powers.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} During that time she went by the alias '''Bleeder'''.{{book ref|mb5|7}} She colluded with the [[Set]] in order to execute a plot to free [[Elendel]] from Harmony's influence.

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 a dancer. During their second encounter, he remarked 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, killing him.{{book ref|mb5|prologue}}

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 attempted to shoot Bloody Tan who is using Lessie as a human shield, but he pulled Lessie into the path of Wax's bullet, making her take the shot to the head, seemingly killing her.{{book ref|mb4|prologue}}

Paalm took the name Bleeder and set about a plan to free the people of Elendel from Harmony's influence. At some point, she entered into an allianceallied with the Set to achieve her goals. She killed [[Idashwy]] with a spike in order to steal her Feruchemical power.{{book ref|mb5|6}}{{book ref|mb5|11}}{{book ref|mb5|17}}

As a Kandra of the Third Generation, Paalm excels at creating bodies. Her considerable expertise came from her history of service to the Lord Ruler, time spent crushing entire kingdoms and rebellions for him. She also learned a great deal about Hemalurgy, learning how to grant herself Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities with spikes of an unknown metal. She was proficient with her stolen abilities but seemed to prefer to employ Feruchemical [[steel]]. She had the knowledgeknew to create at least one new kind of Hemalurgic construct using only a single spike in their creation. She was able to hide herself from Harmony's sight by spiking herself with a [[Trellium|material]] that was not of Harmony, but of Trell. {{book ref|mb5|7}}{{book ref|mb5|13}}{{wob ref|7773}}{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}}

* The name "Bleeder" is possibly derived from the doctors of antiquity, who would force patients to bleed profusely, in an effort to purge sickness and disease. This is comparable to Paalm's actions in ''[[Shadows of Self]]'' in which she causes great harm to Wax and the Basin in an effort to cleanse him and it of Harmony's control.
