| − | '''Cosahn''' is a [[skaa]] servant |
+ | '''Cosahn''' is a [[skaa]] servant, and a member of [[House Renoux#Mansion Renoux|Mansion Renoux]]'s staff in [[Fellise]]. She is middle-aged and relatively tall. |
| + | Some time after Vin joined [[Kelsier's crew]], Cosahn and [[Sazed]] waited for her in the kitchens of the mansion. When Vin arrived, Sazed introduced her to Cosahn. |
||
| − | ==Appearance and Personality== |
||
| − | She is middle-aged and relatively tall for a skaa. She has a professional air, and is polite and methodical. She is also modest.{{book ref|mb1|9}} |
||
| + | Cosahn then studied the girl's appearance, as Sazed had asked her to cut her hair. He thought it was now long enough to be cut stylishly. Cosahn didn't disagree, though she warned that she wasn't sure how much she could improve its appearance as she couldn't 'perform miracles'. Sazed nodded at this. Vin looked dubiously between them, not knowing what they were talking about, and he explained that Cosahn would be cutting her hair. |
||
| − | ==History== |
||
| − | After Vin joined [[Kelsier's crew]], Kelsier planned to have her pose as a noblewoman by the name of Valette Renoux. Vin joined the crew at their secret headquarters in Fellise. She made a point to memorize the names of the skaa staff, including Cosahn, if only to keep tabs on them.{{book ref|mb1|9}} |
||
| + | She gestured for Vin to take a seat, and when she did, began running her hands through Vin's hair and tsked at how ill-kept it was. She started to cut it, complimenting it as she did so and expressing her disappointment in how badly Vin took care of it, remarking that the women of the court would be envious of such hair. |
||
| − | ===Styling Vin as "Valette"=== |
||
| − | As part of Vin's transformation into Valette, she needed to have her hair styled like a [[noble]]. Cosahn and [[Sazed]] met with her in the kitchens of the mansion, as Cosahn was skilled at cutting hair. When Vin arrived, Sazed introduced her to Cosahn. Cosahn then studied the girl's appearance and agreed with Sazed that her hair had grown long enough to be adequately cut and styled, although she couldn't 'perform miracles'.{{book ref|mb1|9}} |
||
| + | Sazed promised that they would take better care of it. This appeased Cosahn, who nodded to herself as she worked. She took her time, trimming Vin's bangs as well, and while she worked Vin and Sazed chatted. |
||
| − | Cosahn assessed Vin's hair and complimented its beauty, remarking that the women of the court would be envious of such hair. At the same time, she was very frank about how ill-kept it was, expressing disappointment that Vin did not take better care of it. Sazed promised that Vin's hair would receive more attention, appeasing Cosahn, who nodded to herself as she worked. She took her time, trimming Vin's bangs as well. As she was finishing, [[Kelsier]] arrived. He complimented Cosahn's skills, and she received his praise with some embarrassment, flattered. Vin requested a mirror, which Cosahn provided. Vin was amazed by the difference in her appearance after Cosahn's work. Kelsier once again complimented Cosahn, for she had evened out the hair, gotten rid of the snags and gotten it to lay flat. Cosahn told him she was not yet done, and so Kelsier urged her to continue. She did so, as he and Sazed stepped outside to speak privately.{{book ref|mb1|9}} |

| − | ===Later Events=== |
||
| + | |||
| − | The [[Steel Ministry]] eventually linked Vin to Valette and attacked a Renoux convoy as it retreated from Fellise; many of the mansion's staff were killed or taken prisoner and used as bait to draw out Kelsier.{{wob ref|2437}}{{book ref|mb1|33}} However, Cosahn is not mentioned during these events and her fate is unclear. |
