Blushweaver is considered the epitome of beauty. She has glossy black hair, pale skin and a lusciously curvaceous body.{{book ref|wb|7}} Though [[Mercystar]] is built more heavily and Blushweaver thin, both are considered to have a godly beauty.{{book ref|wb|23}} Since Returned look the way they believe they should look, Blushweaver therefore looks like what she perceives to be the ultimate in honest beauty.{{book ref|wb|ep}} |
||
⚫ | Like most Returned, Blushweaver has become decadent due to the nature of the [[Court of Gods]]: a group of servants follows her wherever she goes, meeting her every whim, and this has made her somewhat lazy and capricious. However, despite this, she is determined to improve the fate of Hallandren and takes her role as a god seriously enough to expend great effort to control the Hallandren military in order to preserve Hallandren.{{book ref|wb|7}}{{book ref|wb|17}} |
||
Blushweaver wears little clothing, often appearing in revealing gowns of her colors, green and silver. She is often seen in seductive poses. Her personality is centered around seduction, as she propositions [[Lightsong]] on several occasions and often talk about her personal relationships, with fellow Returned and mortals, including her own priests. {{book ref|wb|7}} |

She is witty and enjoys verbal sparring with him as well.{{wob ref|6713}} |

When Blushweaver first Returns, she is unhappy with her title of "the Honest." She considers pursuing a reputation of honor and justice, but decides that a persona as the goddess of love and romance feels more natural to her and will lead to greater power. This is now how she views herself.{{wob ref|6713}} |

Blushweaver, aware of the subtleties of politics, was very active in trying to defend Hallandren and their way of life. To this end, she lobbied the gods who had been assigned military responsibilities and therefore held the Command phrases for the Lifeless armies. She promised to vote however [[Hopefinder]] - one of the four Returned who held Command phrases - wished, and in exchange he gave her the security phrase to his portion of the army.{{book ref|wb|30}} Mercystar also agreed to give up her Lifeless troops thanks to Lightsong's unwitting help when he investigated the break-in at her palace.{{book ref|wb|30}} Though Blushweaver had a very warm relationship with Lightsong himself, he refused to give her his Lifeless commands; she also failed to convince [[Allmother]] to part with her pass phrase.{{book ref|wb|38}} Still, after spending her efforts on those four Returned she eventually held the Command phrases for half of the [[Lifeless]] army.{{book ref|wb|42}} |

Later, Blushweaver was kidnapped, taken down to the tunnel system below the court, and tortured by a group of priests to force her to give up her Lifeless Command phrase. The false priests, in truth [[Pahn Kahl]] rebels, later slit her throat to show Lightsong how willing to kill they were. This eventually won the rebellion control over the entire Lifeless Army, which they sent up to Idris.{{book ref|wb|53}} |

⚫ | Blushweaver's most notable relationship as a Returned is with Lightsong. They enjoy each other's company and look forward to their verbal sparring, though they also care for each other more deeply. While Blushweaver would like to become involved romantically, Lightsong rejects her advances.{{book ref|wb|7}} She tries to get Lightsong on her side regarding war with Idris, but he isn't able to bring himself to trust her completely and so withholds his and Allmother's Command phrases from Blushweaver.{{book ref|wb|42}} The Pahn Kahl rebels kill her in the tunnels because they suspect Lightsong loves her and want to make an impression on him.{{book ref|wb|53}} |
