Her real name is unknown; "Timbre" is a nickname given to her by Venli.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}

One day, Venli discussed with Timbre how she missed the old, carefree days of learning songs from her mother. Timbre tried to console her over her mother's death, but Venli felt she was truly to blame for the group of escapees being forced to flee into the chasms on the day the [[everstorm]] arrived to flood the canyons. As Venli worked through her thoughts regarding who she had been and how she had changed, Timbre reminded her that she had helped Venli resist Odium. They decided to take advantage of a rare free day to practice her powers with [[Cohesion]].{{book ref|sa4|67}}

As Venli assisted Raboniel one day, Raboniel asked her if she hated herself for bringing about the destruction of her people; Timbre warned her to lie, but Venli admitted that she did hate herself. Timbre tried to reassure her as she talked about what she had done, but Venli once again refused the comfort. At the end of their conversation, Raboniel gave Venli a map with a notation from a human scout who had observed a large group of Parshendi in the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa4|92}} Rlain, looking for Venli to tell her that Kaladin, Lift, [[Teft]], and he had a plan, discovered Venli later on while she was still crying and astonished at the news that her people might have survived. Timbre prompted Venli to tell Rlain her whole story, and she did so without holding back any of her culpability.{{book ref|sa4|96}}

 

Having decided to abandon the Radiants and escape with her own group of people using Raboniel's writ, Venli alerted her people.{{book ref|sa4|96}} As they stood at the [[Oathgate]] waiting for transfer to [[Kholinar]], however, Timbre conveyed to Venli that she was disappointed in her. Venli argued that she couldn't be of any help to them, but Timbre assured her that she was learning to use her powers. Venli suggested that Timbre find a singer who cared more than she did, but Timbre firmly stated that she wanted Venli, that Venli was a "wonderful mistake." The more Venli complained, the more insistent Timbre became that their bond was right and that Venli would do what was right.{{book ref|sa4|102}}
