| Does anyone among the Alethi elite care about the [[Almighty]] anymore? Sure, they curse by his name. Sure, they talk about the [[Herald]]s, burn glyphwards. But what do they do? Do they change their lives? Do they listen to [[the Arguments]]? Do they transform, recasting their souls into something greater, something better?▼

Pai's appearance is unknown, but she is a young woman.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}} She often speaks softly or in a whisper.▼
Pai has a huge amount of passion for her faith and the poor of Alethkar.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}} Pai wants people to work hard to transform their lives into something better by following Vorin teachings and listening to the ardents. She genuinely fears for the spiritual well-being of the lighteyes. She feels they do not truly believe in the Almighty. She does not know when they stopped acting in accordance with Vorin beliefs, and began to instead merely speak as if they were true believers. She also wonders whether or not the Hierocracy was acting in accordance with the Almighty's will, as he did not send his Heralds to stop the ardents. Pai believes there is something deeply wrong in Alethkar, although she is not sure precisely what is wrong. Pai is also a very strong advocate for the poor. She is deeply angered and disgusted by the excess and wastefulness of the lighteyes' lifestyles while the poor starve in the countryside. ▼
Pai is also a very disciplined young woman determined to live a simple lifestyle in accordance with her faith.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}} She has no desire for the luxuries and privileges enjoyed by the rest of the queen's ardents, and the very mention of their lifestyle angers her. Pai is stubborn and uncompromising in her beliefs, unwilling to abet the corruption at the heart of the Alethi monarchy, even if it allows her to help some of the poor and hungry. Her passion is such that she is absolutely unafraid of physical harm. Pai speaks her mind regardless of the consequences, openly condemning the government and the Alethi Throne, accepting that her words will lead to her own martyrdom.▼
== History ==
=== Legacy ===
In the evening after her execution, the citizens of Kholinar began to riot.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}} It is uncertain what precisely set off the riots, or whether it was in support of Pai's denouncement of the government, in anger over her execution, or both. However, Pai's actions certainly played a heavy role in causing the rioting, which exacerbated the chaos when the [[Everstorm]] first hit Kholinar.{{book ref|sa2|89}} The riots continued through the end of {{Rosharan date|1173}} and were ongoing in the first few days of {{Rosharan date|1174}}, when [[Highprince]] [[Dalinar Kholin]] heard of them via [[spanreed]].
