'''Vin''' was a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancer|Mistborn]] from the world of [[Scadrial]], and the main character from the original [[Mistborn series|Mistborn trilogy]].

 

Her mother was insane and was driven by Ruin to kill Vin's baby sister with a metal pin that became a Hemalurgic spike, which the mother then pierced the infant Vin's ear with, giving Ruin access to her mind and influence her. Because of the earring's Hemalurgy, Ruin was able to use Vin as an unwitting pawn and get himself released from the Well of Ascension. Vin's Bronze Seeking ability became twice as strong as other Mistborn or Seekers, enabling her to pierce Allomantic copperclouds and locate the hidden Well of Ascension. {{ref|b|mb1|c|31}}

 

him. Reen abused her regularly but also taught her how to work the thieving crews in [[Luthadel]] until he apparently deserted her. Vin found out that Reen died protecting her when he was interrogated and tortured by [[Inquisitor]]s.

 

She continued to work the thieving crews until [[Camon]]'s crew failed to pull off a job; scamming the [[Steel Ministry]]. [[Kelsier]] helped Camon and Vin escape the obligators. Vin then joined [[Kelsier's crew]] and was trained by Kelsier in Mistborn sparring, along with specific specialized training in the individual skills of Allomancy by each of the members of Kelsier's crew. She helped in the planning and organisation of the rebellion.

 

pulling out his metalminds and fatally stabbing him.

 

After the fall of the [[Final Empire]], she helped Elend establish his ideas for fair and free governance. Whilst the [[Siege of Luthadel]] progressed, she practiced her Allomancy, courted [[Zane]], discovered [[duralumin]], befriended the [[kandra]] [[TenSoon]], and successfully intimidated the two besiegers: [[Straff Venture]] and [[Ashweather Cett]].

 

She found the Well and refused to take power for herself, believing it to be the correct choice, thus releasing [[Ruin]] from his prison. The [[Preservation|mist spirit]] hoped she would use the power to save Elend's life. Instead, it showed her the last [[lerasium]] bead at the Well in order to let her save him, which turned him into a full Mistborn.

 

Vin travelled with Elend and helped conquer bands of marauding koloss under control of the [[Inquisitor]]s and [[Ruin]]. They searched for the [[atium cache]] and the storage caverns, discovering more about the history of the world. They also read about the metal [[electrum]], which helped to protect them from atium attacks.

 

They [[Siege of Fadrex City|besieged]] [[Fadrex City]], in hope of locating the atium, and the last of the Lord Ruler's plates. Instead Vin was captured and imprisoned by [[Aradan Yomen]]. While imprisoned, Vin was visited by an apparition of Reen, who was later revealed to be [[Ruin]]. After learning about Ruin, she fought [[Marsh]], and escaped back to [[Luthadel]] where she fought the other Inquisitors and destroyed the palace in a [[mist]]-powered push, finally able to use the mists after her earring was removed, which was acting as a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike.

 

When Vin absorbed the mists in the fight against the Inquisitors her body was eventually vaporised by the power and she took up the [[Shard]] Preservation and attempted to right the world in similar ways to the inexperienced [[Rashek]], and failed in the same way, and also due to Ruin's interference. She watched the final fight between Elend and Marsh, fueling Elend's allomancy with mist-power. After Elend's death she succeeded in killing both herself and [[Ati]], leaving both Shards to be taken by [[Sazed]]. In his [[Sazed's note|letter]] to [[Spook]], Sazed revealed that he had spoken with Vin and she was happy where she was, Sazed also tried to bring her back to life but revealed that merely healing a body didn't return souls.
