\|image=Jewels Jove.jpg \|groups={{tag\|Denth's crew}} \|profession=Mercenary \|nation=Hallandren \|world=Nalthis \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|~~books~~first appeared=[[Warbreaker]] }} Jewels is a short woman who is "thick through the thighs and through the bust" with light brown hair that comes down to her shoulders.{{book ref\|wb\|19}} She is usually blunt and irritable, which [[Denth]] attributes to her inherent personality. [[Vivenna]] correctly{{wob ref\|6807}} believes it is caused or exacerbated by her lack of [[Breath]].{{book ref\|wb\|22}} Jewels hates being judged and abhors being pitied even more. When Vivenna offers Jewels sympathy for her lost breath, Jewels berates her for her high-and-mighty attitude.{{book ref\|wb\|25}} == History == Unlike [[Denth]] and [[Tonk Fah]], Jewels was from Hallandren, specifically [[T'Telir]] and believed in the [[Hallandren#Government and Religion\|Iridescent Tones]]. Jewels comes from a family of eight, with a mother, father, and five siblings. Jewels' parents sold their breath to start a dye business while she was young. Her father slipped and injured his back, preventing him from working, which drove the family to destitution. Seeing the suffering of her starving siblings, she chose to give her Breath to the [[Susebron\|God King]] at the age of eleven, which she and her family considered a great honor. For her donation, she was compensated well enough to keep her family ~~well~~ fed for a year,. ~~allowing~~ This allowed her father to recover, reopen the family dye business, and eventually pass it on to her brothers who currently operate it.{{book ref\|wb\|25}} Jewels was a member of [[Denth's crew]].{{book ref\|wb\|13}} Her function in the team was to direct and maintain [[Arsteel\|Clod]], which she put a lot of effort into learning how to do.{{book ref\|wb\|19}} She originally joined Denth's team to be near [[Arsteel]], with whom she was in love. His death 'unhinged' her a little, and after they turned Arsteel's corpse into a [[Lifeless]], she took over his care and still regularly talked to him, occasionally going so far as to sleep with the Lifeless.{{wob ref\|6806}} == Cultural Views == Jewels is a firm believer in the Hallandren stereotypes about Idrians. She states that she is annoyed by the Idrians' high and mighty attitude and their belief that those from Hallendren are blasphemers. She believes that offering ~~breath~~Breath is no worse than offering a child to the Idrian monastery to live a life of eternal servitude.{{book ref\|wb\|25}}▼ ~~[[]]~~ ▲Jewels is a firm believer in the Hallandren stereotypes about Idrians.
