When Lift first sees [[Dalinar]], she is highly mistrustful of him, both because of his past as the Blackthorn and because he is unlike other government official she's familiar with (in her words, "his butt is too nice").{{book ref|sa3|42}} She is more open to listening to him after seeing his first confrontation with [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|57}} She steals his food when he's waiting for the officials' decision in [[Azimir]]. That he does not begrudge her for it seems to earn him some points with her, and she even agrees to share some of the stolen food back.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
Following their face-to-face meeting, Lift's opinion of Dalinar is drastically better. She argues for him with Yanagawn after the Azish choose to pull out of the coalition and is ready to face Odium by his side and follow his orders without question. He, in turn, treats her like another soldier rather than a child, and trusts her to do her job, which might be why she takes a shine to him.{{book ref|sa3|116}}{{book ref|sa3|117}}
=== Szeth and Nightblood ===
Lift first encounters [[Szeth]] in [[Yeddaw]] as one of Nale's apprentices; she's also the only person known to see the "afterimage" he leaves behind as the after-effect of his resurrection. Her first interaction with [[Nightblood]] has her feel nauseous - the mark of a "good" person according to the sword. Though she and Szeth are nominally on the opposite sides and she considers him exceedingly strange, they aren't hostile to each other, and Szeth wishes her best of luck in attempting to foil Nale.{{book ref|sa2.5|16}}
Lift is one of the few people among the Radiants to trust Szeth. During the [[battle of Thaylen Field]] she is happy to work with him and Nightblood on recovering [[Honor's Drop]], and attempts to rescue him when Nightblood begins devouring him. She perceives the sword as having a female voice.{{book ref|sa3|118}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}
