=== Physical Realm ===

In the Physical Realm, honorspren look like [[windspren]].{{book ref|sa1|2}} They can change their appearance, including forms like fire or clouds, although they always glow (but not illuminate), and are typically white-blue.{{book ref|sa1|40}}{{book ref|sa1|27}}{{book ref|sa4|38}} This being said, they generally seem to prefer a humanoid form. Usually, it's very small -- only about a handspan tall -- but if need be, a honorspren can make themselves as tall as a regular person.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa3|37}}

The more powerful their bond becomes, the stronger their variety, details, and hues of the form can be.{{book ref|sa4|38}} This includes being able to change their clothes to different colors, such as green or red.{{book ref|sa4|55}}{{book ref|sa4|58}}

When their cognitive bodies are forced into the Physical Realm and they die, honorspren appear as a human with very pale skin and a blue cast to them.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

=== Cognitive Realm ===

In the [[Cognitive Realm]], honorspren are blue-white and as large as humans.{{book ref|sa3|89}} They appear to be wearing clothes, but the clothes are part of their essence and cannot be changed without [[Stormlight]]. Their clothing tend to range from military uniforms to flowing robes.{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren.jpg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren}} Their clothing style tends to correlate with their personal beliefs. Some honorspren buy physical clothes to wear instead.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Their hair, skin, and clothing all feel roughly the same as a human would.{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren.jpg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren}}

Honorspren may also buy real weapons to use.{{book ref|sa4|36}}{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren.jpg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren}} They cannot vanish, or shape-shift.{{book ref|sa3|97}}

== Abilities ==

Honorspren have the ability to sense an upcoming [[highstorm]] days before it arrives.{{book ref|sa3|20}} This is likely related to their origins as Stormfather's children. They also have strong internal clocks.{{book ref|sa4|55}}{{book ref|sa4|63}}

In the Physical Realm, they can use [[Adhesion]] to stick small, light objects together,{{book ref|sa3|77}} and give pinches of energy or move small objects.{{book ref|sa1|6}}{{book ref|sa4|23}} They can also shape-shift while in there, and choose who can and cannot see and hear them, although they cannot hide from their bonded Surgebinder, a [[Sighted]],{{book ref|sa1|21}} or [[Lift]].{{book ref|sa4|i|1}} Due to their ability to change size, honorspren can squeeze through small spaces, such as shutters or keyholes.{{book ref|sa4|i|1}}{{book ref|sa4|49}}

=== Nahel bond ===

They can form a [[Nahel bond]] with humans, turning them into [[Surgebinder]]s with the powers of Adhesion and [[Gravitation]]. In return, they gain the ability to think and act like their Shadesmar selves in the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa1|57}} Among the honorspren, the bond is considered extremely intimate, as it involves the mixing of souls.{{book ref|sa3|108}} Honorspren are always able to sense where their Surgebinder is, even if they are not awake.{{book ref|sa4|25}}{{book ref|sa4|i|1}} They can also hear them over loud noises, such as rushing wind.{{book ref|sa4|10}} With a powerful enough bond, honorspren and their Surgebinder are able to sense each others emotions, as well as communicate with their minds.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{book ref|sa4|55}} Honorspren can also gain memories of their Surgebinder from before their bond via their connection to the winds and its connection to Honor.{{book ref|sa3|6}}

During the [[Heraldic Epochs]], honorspren were created by [[Honor]].{{book ref|sa3|108}} At some point, inspired by the [[Herald]]s and their [[Honorblade]]s, the honorspren, along with nine other types of sapient spren, began forming [[Nahel bond]]s with humans, giving rise to the [[Order of Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa2|87}} Back then, they had a reputation for being discerning in their choice of who to bond with, more so than many other spren.{{book ref|sa1|60}}

Honorspren follow morality instead of a system of laws, and are stubborn in upholding their particular interpretation of it. It is difficult to change their mind with logic, as they focus on what they feel more than what they think.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{book ref|sa4|21}} Obedience, hierarchy, and order are highly valued in their society, and they're willing to put up bounties for their rebellious kinsmen.{{book ref|sa3|37}}{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa4|90}} This being said, honorspren pride themselves on not being as uptight as the [[highspren]], and can be flexible when necessary.{{book ref|sa3|108}}

Of all spren, honorspren are noted to have the most human mannerisms.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren.jpg|Shallan's Sketchbook - Honorspren}} They sometimes engage in grand hunts, tracking down and slaying other creatures of Shadesmar, like gloomspren.{{book ref|sa3|5}}

According to Syl, while honorspren hate [[inkspren]] and highspren, they merely distrust [[Cryptic]]s.{{book ref|sa4|20}}

* Several honorspren have names derived from wind-related myths and legends -- for example, Sylphrena is named after [[wikipedia:Sylph|sylphs]], wind spirits, while Notum and Borea's names come from [[wikipedia:Notus|Notus]] and [[wikipedia:Boreas|Boreas]], the Greek gods of South and North wind respectively. Vaiu seems similarly named after [[wikipedia:Vayu|Vayu]], a Hindu deity of winds.
