Palona is described as having [[darkeyed|dark eyes]] and the typical rocklike crystalline fingernails of a Herdazian.{{book ref|sa2|40}} She is short, middle-aged, and has dark, curly hair.{{book ref|sa2|40}}{{book ref|sa3|21}} She speaks with a Herdazian accent{{book ref|sa2|40}} and presumably has the typical deep tan skin of her people.{{book ref|sa1|32}}{{wob ref|3932}}

Although she is not married to Turinad, she runs the household and appears to be familiar with the traditions of Alethi nobility.{{book ref|sa2|40}} However, she does not have the modesty of a typical [[Vorin]] woman, as she does not cover her back while being massaged, even when other people are present.{{book ref|sa2|47}} She covers her [[safehand]], but is sometimes careless about showing it.{{book ref|sa3|21}}

 

Little is known of Palona's history before meeting Sebarial. Her age and birthplace are unknown. Towards the end of the [[Era of Solitude]], there had been significant migration of Herdazian people to [[Alethkar]] and [[Jah Keved]]{{book ref|sa2|41}} and the Sebarial warcamp likely had the largest Herdazian population on the [[Shattered Plains]],{{book ref|sa2|87}} but neither of those facts have been explicitly linked to Palona's life among the Alethi. The duration of Palona and Sebarial's relationship was also unclear, but he apparently took her in at some point.{{book ref|sa2|40}} Their relationship seemed to be well-established by the end of the [[War of Reckoning]]; other nobles were never surprised by Palona's presence, nor did they comment on the nature of her arrangement with Sebarial.

 

Palona was first seen living in the Sebarial warcamp on the Shattered Plains.{{book ref|sa2|40}} The Sebarial warcamp was well-constructed and more similar to a city than other warcamps,{{book ref|sa2|55}} and Palona lived in a manor with Turinad.{{book ref|sa2|40}} Their home's interior was particularly opulent, with marble, silk, crystal, and gold among the materials used in the decor.{{book ref|sa2|40}} The residence also had numerous servants, running water, and gardens with ornamental [[shalebark]].{{book ref|sa2|40}}

 

Palona and Sebarial were living in the tower shortly before its occupation by the [[Fused]]. Navani noticed that Sebarial had started dressing better, and wondered if Palona was behind the change. Navani planned to send Sebarial back to the warcamps to fill the power void left by [[Ialai]]'s death and bring order back to the area.{{book ref|sa4|27}} Palona likely accompanied Sebarial on this task; they were not seen during the occupation.

 

===Turinad Sebarial===

Palona and Turinad have an unusual relationship. In general, the two of them get along well, and tend to playfully antagonize one another.{{book ref|sa2|40}} Palona claims that Turinad wants to marry her,{{book ref|sa2|40}} while Turinad has joked that he pays more than three [[broam]]s a week for Palona.{{book ref|sa2|38}} However, there also seem to be some barriers between them. Although Palona seems confident in many situations, she has also obliquely referred to herself as a "stray" that Turinad brought home.{{book ref|sa2|40}} Turinad reveals to Navani that he truly does want to marry Palona, but she has continually rebuffed him for reasons that remain unclear. He believes that she either considers him unworthy of her or vice versa, but she tends to evade his questions. Navani believes that Turinad's generally frivolous attitude in life might be causing Palona to feel undervalued, and advises him to be more sincere with her.{{book ref|sa4|27}}

Palona was particularly welcoming to Shallan when she came to live at the Sebarial warcamp.{{book ref|sa2|40}} Palona helpfully anticipated Shallan's needs, and often paid personal visits to her quarters.{{book ref|sa2|13}}{{book ref|sa2|40}} Shallan is very grateful to Palona for taking her in,{{book ref|sa2|42}} and after the [[Battle of Narak]], she continues to live in the Sebarial section of Urithiru. Shallan sees Palona as something of a mother figure who often checks in on her.{{book ref|sa3|13}}{{book ref|sa3|21}}{{book ref|sa3|33}} Palona appears in [[Shallan's sketchbook]],{{book ref|sa3|25}} and her face sometimes appears in Shallan's [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]] illusions.{{book ref|sa3|29}} Palona took an interest in Shallan's interaction with [[Re-Shephir]], and thought that the other [[Unmade]] should be sought out to ensure that they were imprisoned.{{book ref|sa3|29}}
