'''Lyn''' is an [[Alethi]] scout and, later, a [[Windrunner]] [[squire]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|46}}
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Lyn is a short, "solid-looking" [[darkeyes|darkeyed]] [[Alethi]] woman with long black hair, which she wears in a ponytail.{{book ref|sa2|81}}{{book ref|sa3|29}} She's usually dressed in the blue [[Kholin]] uniform.{{book ref|sa3|35}}
 
She's interested in pursuing the masculine arts, and dislikes being treated as incapable of fighting just because she's a woman. She's disappointed when [[Shallan]] informs her that a [[Radiant]] can be feminine, and when Kaladin suggests that Lyn can serve as a secretary, she's furious with him.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|35}} She's impatient and eager, and wants to take the fight to the enemy rather than wait for it to come to her.{{book ref|sa3|35}}{{book ref|sa3|46}} She's also good at making friends, sliding into the [[Bridge Four]] group without any problems, and appreciates good art.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|8}} She can keep a cool head in stressful situations, and take charge when necessary.{{book ref|sa3|29}}{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}
 
== History ==
=== Scout and Messenger ===
Lyn was one of the scouts who accompanied [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s expedition into the center of the [[Shattered Plains]]. She, along with [[Shim]] and [[Felt]], aided [[Shallan]] with mapping out the central plateaus during the [[Battle of Narak]], providing illustrations.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
 
Following the [[Alethi]] moving to [[Urithiru]], sheLyn started working as a messenger. She was the one to report the murder of [[Vedekar Perel]] to Dalinar, as well as the one to fetch him when [[Bridge Four]] found [[Oathbringer (Shardblade)|Oathbringer]].{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|28}} At the same time, she began to hang out around Bridge Four, even going with them to investigate what turned out to be [[Re-Shephir]]. There, sheLyn was the first to notice [[Midnight Essence]]. During the ensuing battle, she provided first aid to the wounded.{{book ref|sa3|29}}
 
=== Windrunner Squire ===
When [[Kaladin]] returnsreturned and Bridge Four beginsbegan to recruit [[squire]]s, sheLyn attemptsattempted to join. Kaladin initially thinksthought she wisheswanted to be a scribe, but after the situation iswas cleared up, allowshe allowed her and four other scout women to join.{{book ref|sa3|35}} SheLyn initially hashad problems breathing in [[stormlight]], but with [[Skar]]'s help, managed to do so, becoming a proper squire.{{book ref|sa3|46}} Eventually, herthe fellowrest scoutof womenher joinsquad joined her.{{book ref|sa3|55}}▼
 
From then on, Lyn easily slid into Bridge Four's structure, becoming fast friend with other members. Shortly before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], she was on good enough terms to know their history with [[Amaram]], even suggesting that she could "stab him a little" for them.{{book ref|sa3|111}} When [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]] was stolen, she was present, and ordered another scout to fetch [[Renarin]] to help with [[Rock]]'s wounds.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}

}}
Lyn is one of [[Kaladin]]'s [[squire]]s, allowing her to heal herself with [[stormlight]], as well as use the [[Surge]]s of [[Gravitation]] and [[Adhesion]], but only when he's nearby. While she's not shown using the latter, she is capable of flying by the time of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} As a scout, she was armed with a knife, and presumably knew how to use it.{{book ref|sa3|70}} After joining Bridge Four, she begins to use a spear, although she's still, by her own admission, only a beginner.{{book ref|sa3|111}} She's also capable of drawing what she'd scouted from memory, although her artwork prioritizes speed over quality.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
