⚫ | Like most Returned Blushweaver has become decadent due to the nature of the Court of Gods. A group of servants follow 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|warbreaker|7}} {{book ref|warbreaker|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}} |

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}} |

As a [[Returned]], Blushweaver has a [[divine Breath]] which gives her the benefits of being on the [[Fifth Heightening]]. This includes: |
|||
* Aura Recognition - allows her to assess the number of Breaths a person possesses. |
|||
* Perfect Pitch |
|||
* Perfect Color Recognition - allows her to instantly and instinctively determine exact shades of colors and their hue harmonics. |
|||
* Perfect Life Sense - allows her to sense people around her. |
|||
* Agelessness - makes her immune to most toxins and physical ailments, as well as making her functionally immortal. |
|||
⚫ | |||
Her presence on the [[Court of Gods]] as a Returned grants her a palace, at least 30 servants, [[Inhanna|a high priestess]], and 6 lesser priests.{{book ref|wb|7}} |

Blushweaver, aware of the subtleties of politics, was very active in trying to defend [[Hallandren]] and their way of life.

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}} |
|||
She is very aware of the subtleties of politics and is very active in trying to defend Hallandren and their way of life. To this end she lobbies the gods who have been assigned military responsibilities and therefore hold the command phrases for the Lifeless armies. She spends her efforts on these four Returned and experiences a lot of success. |

=== Inhanna === |

She promises to vote however [[Hopefinder]], another Returned, wishes. In exchange, he gives her the security phrase to his portion of the [[Lifeless]] army.{{book ref|warbreaker|30}} She also manages to convince [[Mercystar]] to give up her Lifeless troops as well. Though she has a very warm relationship with [[Lightsong]] he refuses to give her his Lifeless commands and she also fails to convince the Returned [[Allmother]] to part with her pass phrase. Still she is left in control of half of the armies of Hallandren. |
|||
[[Inhanna]] is Blushweaver's high priestess, the one who delivers her votes and argues in court on her behalf.{{book ref|wb|16}}{{book ref|wb|50}} |

⚫ | Later, Blushweaver is kidnapped and forced to give up her Lifeless security phrase during the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]]. The false priests, in truth Pahn Kahl rebels, later slit her throat to show [[Lightsong]] how willing to kill they are. This eventually wins the rebellion control over the entire Lifeless Army.{{book ref|warbreaker|53}} |
