== Appearance and Personality ==
}}
 
Venli is slender, with a thin face and red-and-white marbled skin. She wears her hair long, down to her waist, whereand ties it is kept tied in three places. Her eyes are dark and glassy like all [[singer]]s, though they appear violet in the right light. During the [[War of Reckoning]], she utilizes nimbleform as a substitute for the undiscovered scholarform.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} She later changes into [[stormform]] for the [[Battle of Narak]], making her bulkier nad taller, and smiles often while wearing it.{{book ref|sa2|i|13}} Following the battle, she transforms into [[envoyform]].{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} In that form, she has visible breasts, and is extremely tall, taller even than the [[Alethi]] humans.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}{{book ref|sa3|109}}
 
In any form she has, Venli seems to tend towards the fatalistic, putting the odds of things like the war ending or her own survival at rather low.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}{{book ref|sa3|109}} While she wishes she had the power to fight, she does not consider herself to be skilled in this regard, and being on a battlefield distresses her.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}{{book ref|sa3|115}} On the other hand, she's highly ambitious, and by and large does not care about the plight of her people, so long as she gets what she wants -- power and recognition.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} To that end, she can be extremely manipulative and deceitful; however, when those goals, and the respect they'd give her, are threatened, she grows angry.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} She seems jealous of her sister and her position, and tries to take over once the two are both in stormform.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}
 
Eshonai's death is a massive catalyst of change in her.{{book ref|sa3|i|1}} Over time, Venli comes to understand how horrid her actions have been and thetheir true cost of them, and regrets itthem deeply, beginning to care about the other singers and their plight. She acknowledges her responsibility for causing the [[Everstorm]] to be summoned, and admits that this was aan horridawful thing to do.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}{{book ref|sa3|121}} However, she retains her prideful streak, and will not accept any compromise with humans.{{book ref|sa3|109}}

=== Early life ===
Venli is the sister of [[Eshonai]], and though her age is unclear, it's implied she's the elderolder one. When the two were children, Venli would often stay at home and help their [[Eshonai's mother|mother]] while Eshonai travelled.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} Both sisters wore [[workform]] at the time. At some point, Venli and [[Demid]] became mates, and though the relationship did not produce any children, they remained together even after changing into different forms.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}
 
Over timeEventually, 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, which. Venli took it on and joined listener leadership as its representative.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}
 
=== War of Reckoning ===
| Venli's thoughts of Eshonai{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}
}}
After the [[Everstorm]] was created, Venli, led by Ulim, sought to find her sister, gone missing during the battle. She was heartbroken upon finding her dead, and stunned when Ulim told her that he only sought the [[Shardplate]] Eshonai was wearing at the moment of her death. The event somehow unlocked her ability to attune to the old, pre-stormform Rhythms. While stripping the Shardplate off Eshonai, Venli spotted a strange [[spren]] escaping from underneath the corpse.{{book ref|sa3|i|3}}

When nine listeners were chosen by Ulim to receive "new forms", Venli and Demid were among them. In the Everstorm, the [[Fused]] replaced the souls of all of them, possessing their bodies, with Venli being the sole exception. Proteted by [[Odium]] himself, she was instead gifted the [[envoyform]]. After realizing that the others were effectively dead, Venli once more spotted the strange spren, and hid it from the Fused.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}
 
Afterwards, Venli became Odium's chief propagandist, first in [[Kholinar]], then in [[Marat]], telling the tragic tale of the listeners who, according to the new narrative, sacrificed themselves to free the [[Parshmen]] of their mindless slavery. During that time, she was kept apart from other singers to maintain her mystique; in lieu of contact with her people, she began chatting at her mute spren, whom she nicknamed [[Timbre]]. At Timbre's urging, she finally admitted that summoning the old gods was a horrible mistake, and that she wished she should be like her sister.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}{{book ref|sa3|i|9}}{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}
 
While she's was in Marat, [[Dalinar Kholin]] pulled her into one of his visions, and attempted to negotiate; Venli, however, refused all overtures of peace. The conversation was cut short by [[Odium]] breaking into the vision space, with Dalinar managing to send Venli out just before his arrival.{{book ref|sa3|109}} After that event, Venli boarded one of the ships heading to [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|i|12}}
 
=== Surgebinder ===
During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Venli remained mostly out of the battlefighting, serving as a translator instead.{{book ref|sa3|115}} She accompanied Odium to witness Dalinar's presumed fall from grace.{{book ref|sa3|118}} After he managed to recover and summon [[Honor's Perpendicularity]] instead, she crept away and returned to the ships, where she swore the [[Immortal Words|Fist Ideal]], bonding with [[Timbre]] and becoming a [[Surgebinder]]. This allowed Timbre to live inside her [[gemheart]] and capture the [[voidspren]] there, letting Venli retain her Odium-derived red eyes.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
 
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}}
}}
 
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 ofon her feet and make quicksnap judgement callsdecisions.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} She also has some skillsability as a craftswoman, having constructed and decorated the home where she and her family lived in [[Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} AsShe adoesn't, [[singer]]however, have much in the way of combat skills; though she hasmentions ahaving [[gemheart]]used an axe before, andit's canunclear bondwhether withit differentwas sprenin tobattle, attainand differentshe's formsunfamiliar with swords.{{book ref|sa3|115}}
 
=== Forms ===
As a [[singer]], Venli has a [[gemheart]], and can bond with different [[spren]] to attain different forms.
As a [[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 is's yet to be seen using any [[Surge]]s.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
 
Though the voidpsprenvoidspren 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}}
 
== Trivia ==
