Venli is a highly skilled scholar and researcher; she has managed to create a functional writing system from scratch and has discovered, among others, the [[nimbleform]], as well as [[stormform]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} She can think on her feet and make snap decisions.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} She also has some ability as a craftswoman, having constructed and decorated the home where she and her family lived in [[Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} She doesn't, however, have much in the way of combat skills; though she mentions having used an axe before, it's unclear whether it was in battle, and she's unfamiliar with swords.{{book ref|sa3|115}}▼
=== Forms ===▼
As a [[singer]], Venli has a [[gemheart]], and can bond with different [[spren]] to attain different forms.▼
In [[nimbleform]], Venli is agile and precise, as well as keen-minded. Assuming [[stormform]] makes her significantly stronger and tougher, almost enough to rival a person wearing [[Shardplate]]. It also lets her shoot red lightning from her hands.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} Those abilities go away once the [[envoyform]] is thrust upon her, though she grows even taller. Instead of casting lightning, she gains the ability to speak and understand any language, both human and singer, on [[Roshar]]. She also mentions having other, lesser gifts, though those are unspecified.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}▼
=== Surgebinding ===▼
With envoyform being one of the forms of power, Venli has a [[voidspren]] in her gemheart; however, she's also bonded with [[Timbre]], a [[Reacher]], making her a [[Willshaper]]. Though this allows her to breathe in [[Stormlight]], it's uncertain if she has all the abilities that a human Willshaper would. As she has only just said the First Ideal, she's yet to be seen using any [[Surge]]s.{{book ref|sa3|120}}▼
Though the voidspren within Venli's gemheart remains there, Timbre has it trapped. This allows Venli to retain her envoyform abilities and switch between red and normal eyes at will, letting her blend in with Odium's forces.{{book ref|sa3|120}}▼
== History ==
Eventually, Venli settled into the role of a scholar. After the listeners first made contact with humans, she created a written script, recognizing the value of recording information on paper. Over the next five years, she and her team wrote down all listener song and stories to be preserved and cross-referenced. Through this, they also discovered nimbleform. Venli took it on and joined listener leadership as its representative.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}
=== War of Reckoning ===
On the day of the peace treaty with the [[Alethi]] and the [[Assassination of Gavilar]] Kholin, the Alethi king, Venli and another listener, [[Klade]], were lead by an unknown voice -- possibly [[Ulim]] -- to purchase [[Szeth]], which led to the killing.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} Following that event, Venli and Ulim worked together on discovering new forms.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} Though she claimed to Eshonai that she was researching mediationform to treaty with humans, in reality, Venli sought to capture a [[stormspren]] and unlock the associated [[stormform]].{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}
Upon succeeding, Venli intended to test the form herself, and was angry when [[The Five]] decided to let Eshonai do it instead. Though they did so out of concern, fearing the loss of Venli and her talent if the form turned out to be defective, she was jealous, and thought that her sister was distrusting her, and trying to steal her discovery.{{book ref|sa3|4}} After Eshonai's thoughts got altered by the stormform and she began to enact the plan to transform all listeners, Venli also reacted badly, believing her strategies to be too aggressive. She intended to seize control from her sister, and suggested killing the listeners who refused to adopt the new form.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}

Following the battle, Venli remained on the Thaylen ships. Upon hearing the former [[Parshmen]] note that they have no idea who their people are, she decided to tell them the real story of the [[listener]]s.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
