== Attributes and Abilities ==
Cord is fluent in [[Veden]] and is slowly learning [[Alethi]].{{book ref|sa3|37}}{{book ref|sa3|55}}{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} Like her father, Cord is capable of seeing all [[spren]], even when they are not visible to others in the [[Physical Realm]]. The Unkalaki refer to those with her ability as alaii'iku; the [[Sleepless]] refer to them as [[Sighted]]. Also like her father, Cord is noted as being a very capable cook.{{book ref|sa3.5|3}} Cord is a [[Shardbearer]], but not in full, as she only possesses [[Shardplate]].{{book ref|sa3.5|epilogue}} She also currently possesses [[Highprince]] [[Meridas Amaram]]'s [[Shardbow]].{{book ref|sa4|5}}
== History ==
{{image|Cord and Lopen by Stivya.png|side=right|width=300px}}
After [[Huio]] delivered a letter to her, Cord mentioned to him and
When the crew of the ''Wandersail'' went ashore following the encounter with [[Sleepless]] in the form of a dead [[santhid]], Cord made a stew for the crew. She brought Rysn a bowl and, after discovering that they both spoke [[Veden]], told her the stories she knew of the [[Sleepless|Gods Who Sleep Not]], the Unkalaki name for the Sleepless.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}
As a final attempt to make the ''Wandersail'' turn away from its task, [[Nikli]] attempted to frame Cord by making it appear that she had [[blackbane|poisoned]] the ship's pet, [[Screech]]. However, Rysn saw through his deceit.{{book ref|sa3.5|10}} Cord later thanked Rysn for believing that she was "good".{{book ref|sa3.5|14}} The ship continued on to [[Aimia]], and Cord took shelter from the storm as they sailed through it. As soon as they cleared the tempest, Lopen sent for her to scout for [[spren]].{{book ref|sa3.5|11}}
Cord remained on board the ship while a landing party went to look at [[Akinah]]. As she waited with Rysn, they watched as [[Chiri-Chiri]] made an unexpected dive off the ship, following some [[luckspren]] into the sea.{{book ref|sa3.5|12}} Despite hearing from the landing party that the island seemed safe, Cord elected to stay back with Rysn. She revealed to the [[Thaylen]] that her primary motivator for joining the expedition was to acquire [[Shardplate]] and
When Nikli and the other Sleepless boarded the ''Wandersail'', Cord revealed that she did not know the Sleepless could take human form, that they could not be fought, and that [[Lunu'anaki]] had warned of the danger the Sleepless presented during her grandmother's time. Nikli told Cord that he did not expect the presence of a Sighted on the expedition, and that the Sleepless did not kill Sighted lightly. Cord then shouted something at Nikli in the Horneater language as a distraction, grabbed Rysn, and dove into the water.{{book ref|sa3.5|15}}

=== Battles with the Coalition (1175) ===
Cord accompanied the group on the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'' when they flew to [[Hearthstone]] to evacuate the inhabitants. She came dressed and armed for battle; having shot down [[Leshwi]] in the [[coalition of monarchs|coalition's]] previous encounter with the [[Fused]], she wanted to be ready to do something similar again.{{book ref|sa4|5}} When
When the coalition launched their offensive in [[Emul]], Cord joined herself to King [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s guards and accompanied the group. During one [[Skybreaker]] attack, she used

As [[Lunamor]]'s daughter, Cord loves him very much. She shares with him the trait of being able to see [[spren]] and also has learned from him to enjoy cooking.{{book ref|sa3.5|3}} However, she disagrees with his choice to be a pacifist and resolves to fight alongside the [[coalition of monarchs|coalition]] in opposition to [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} She feels that her father is clinging to tradition during a time when they need to change in order to save their people.{{book ref|sa3.5|14}} Cord understands her father's outlook and does not try to change his mind in seeking judgement over his killing of [[Amaram]]; however, she sees that in returning to the [[Horneater Peaks]] for that purpose she will need to step in and fill the role he had previously had in [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3.5|7}}
