== Abilities ==
As a Kandra of the Third Generation, Paalm excels at creating bodies. Her considerable expertise comes from her history of service to the Lord Ruler, and the time she spent crushing entire kingdoms and rebellions for him. She also knows a great deal about Hemalurgy, having learned how to grant herself Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities with spikes of [[Trellium]].{{wob ref|7038}}{{wob ref|7776}} She is proficient at using her stolen abilities, thoughalthough she seems to prefer Feruchemical [[steel]]. She knows how to create at least one new kind of Hemalurgic construct using only a single spike in the creation. She is able to hide herself from Harmony's sight by spiking herself with a [[Trellium]] spike.{{book ref|mb5|7}}{{book ref|mb5|13}}{{wob ref|7773}}{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}}

Paalm took the name Bleeder and set about a plan to free the people of Elendel from Harmony's influence.{{wob ref|309}} At some point, she allied with the Set to achieve her goals{{book ref|sos|17}} and learned how to steal abilities with Trellium.{{wob ref|7038}}{{wob ref|7776}} She killed [[Idashwy]] with a spike to steal her Feruchemical power{{book ref|mb5|6}}{{book ref|mb5|11}}{{book ref|mb5|17}} and killed Governor [[Replar Innate]] and then impersonated them.{{book ref|sos|22}} AsShe well as this shealso impersonated a man named [[Johnst]] who blew up a dam, causing food shortages and economic instability.{{book ref|sos|14}}
 
Using her newly acquired power and appearance, Bleeder disrupted [[Winsting Innate's auction]] for his Senate vote, firing several shots at the guests to get them to begin attacking one another. She then entered Winsting's saferoom ahead of him; murdering him inside and cutting out his tongue in a symbolic gesture, removing Harmony's voice. As she left, she killed his bodyguards outside the saferoom.{{book ref|mb5|prologue}}{{book ref|mb5|6}}{{book ref|mb5|4}}{{book ref|mb5|5}}{{book ref|mb5|23}}
 
Around the same time, she impersonated [[Larskpur]] and killed [[Father Bin]] inside a church withby driving spikes ininto his eyes -- anothereyes—another symbolic gesture, removing Harmony's eyes{{book ref|mb5|23}} -- to—to turn the [[Church of the Survivor|Survivorists]] against [[the Path]]ians. When the people grew aggressive, she exposed the Kandra who attempted to calm the violence and pushed harder for violent rebellion against Innate. Exposing the Kandra was symbolic for deafening Harmony, as they were his ears.{{book ref|sos|20}}
 
When Wax confronted her, she attempted to flee by use of a spike granting herself Allomantic steel. Wax gave chase, stopping her at the [[Eastbridge]]. In that confrontation, Bleeder attempted to convince him that she was Lessie, finally succeeding when he shot her with his Pathian earring, reforged as a bullet. Before Harmony could fully take control of her, she committed suicide.{{book ref|mb5|23}}{{book ref|mb5|24}}{{book ref|mb5|25}} After death, she asked Harmony to look after Wax.{{book ref|mb6|28}}
 
Wax later gave her spikes to the kandra.{{book ref|mb7|15}}
