Ka |
Ka moved to the Shattered Plains sometime after the [[Alethi]] highprinces swore the [[Vengeance Pact]], beginning the [[War of Reckoning]] against the [[listener]]s. She began working at a tavern in the Kholin warcamp called the Ornery Chull.{{book ref|sa2|46}} Sometime after the [[Battle of the Tower]], Ka began a relationship with [[Peet]], a member of [[Bridge Four]]. Their relationship was serious, and by the end of 1173 seemed to be nearing the point of marriage. Peet often came to the tavern to see Ka, sometimes bringing his companions from Bridge Four. Ka became friendly with them, particularly with Rock, who she teased about his fondness for strong [[Horneater]] lagers. |
||
The evening that [[Kaladin]] and [[Moash]] met with [[Graves]] and the other conspirators at the Ornery Chull, Ka brought them to a private table and served drinks to them, as well as Peet, [[Lopen]], and [[Rock]].{{book ref|sa2|46}} When Kaladin met her, he considered potentially using her as a scribe and clerk for Bridge Four. It is possible that Kaladin went through with this plan, as after transcriptions of Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s visions became available, Kaladin resolved to have Ka read them to him.{{book ref|sa2|68}} |
|||
⚫ | |||
When Kaladin met Ka, he considered recruiting her as a scribe and clerk for Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa2|46}} She was presumably receptive to this idea; a short time later, Kaladin planned to have Ka read the recently published transcriptions of [[Dalinar's visions]] to him.{{book ref|sa2|68}} |
|||
⚫ | |||
Ka and Peet had become engaged by the time Kaladin returned from his first trip back to [[Hearthstone]]. [[Sigzil]] reminded Kaladin to ask about family housing after bringing up their betrothal, as Bridge Four had not yet been assigned any family accommodations in [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|35}} After the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] and [[Adolin]] and [[Shallan]]'s wedding, Shallan opened her wedding present from Kaladin and Bridge Four and discovered it to be a pair of boots; she thought Ka looked embarrassed by the gift.{{book ref|sa3|122}} |
|||
Ka presumably remained a scribe for Peet's Windrunner squad in Urithiru. She accompanied the group who took the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'' to Hearthstone and used a [[spanreed]] for [[Navani]] during the trip, acting as an intermediary between the ''Fourth Bridge'' and the group in Urithiru running the gemstone lattice that moved the flying ship.{{book ref|sa4|3}} |

==Relationships== |
|||
===Peet=== |
|||
Peet seemed to be smitten with Ka when he met her at the Ornery Chull. Peet often came to the tavern to see Ka, sometimes bringing his companions from Bridge Four. Peet's infatuation was rather obvious; he was excited to talk to Ka, and sometimes helped her clear tables while she was at work. Ka became friendly with Bridge Four, particularly with [[Lunamor]], whom she teased about his fondness for strong [[Horneater]] lagers.{{book ref|sa2|46}} Ka and Peet's relationship progressed quickly and they were engaged a short time later.{{book ref|sa3|35}} |
|||
⚫ | Ka is good-natured, willing to tease and banter with the men of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa2|46}} She seems to particularly enjoy poking fun at Rock, rolling her eyes at his attempts to flatter her. She gives them special attention at the tavern as well, serving them drinks at their table when others have to go to the bar to order. She and Peet are very close; he sometimes helps her clear tables while she is at work. She is at least somewhat well-educated, able to read the [[women's script]].{{book ref|sa2|68}} |
||
===Sister=== |
|||
Ka has a sister who also lives in Urithiru during the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa4|12}} |

*It seems likely that Ka is a cameo for [[Karen Ahlstrom]], due to the fact that Peet is a cameo for her husband, [[Peter Ahlstrom]].{{17s ref|post|99444|Peter Ahlstrom's comment|date=2014-02-19}} |
||
* Ka usually manifests her [[Shardblade]] as a pen.{{wob ref|16425}} |
