'''Kara''' is a former scribe on [[Roshar]] who joins [[Bridge Four]] and becomes a [[Windrunner]] [[squire]].{{book ref|sa4|12}}

==Appearance and Personality==

Kara stood out among the scribes even prior to joining Bridge Four, as [[Lyn]] was familiar with her.{{book ref|sa3|120}} She seems to fit in well with the other Windrunners, displaying a sense of humor in her relationship with [[Lunamor]].{{book ref|sa4|12}}

==Attributes and Abilities==

Kara is surprisingly skilled with a spear. She has practiced with one since childhood, although she kept this ability secret when she was employed as a scribe.{{book ref|sa3|120}}

She becomes a squire to an unknown Windrunner in Bridge Four at some point after the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]. She proves to be a quick learner and becomes one of the more proficient Windrunner squires. Even as a squire, her skill with both the spear and the [[Surgebinding#Gravitation|Surge of Gravitation]] allow her to hold her own in battles with the [[Heavenly Ones]]. [[Kaladin]] remarks that she is ready to advance to the [[Immortal Words|Third Ideal]], but no [[honorspren]] partners are available.{{book ref|sa4|5}} It is unclear if an honorspren later becomes available for her to bond.

As a trained scribe, she is able to write in the [[women's script]] and use a [[spanreed]]. She takes her own notes during scouting missions.{{book ref|sa4|i|10}}

Little is known of Kara's history. Since she served as a scribe for [[Dalinar]]'s forces under [[Teshav Khal]]{{book ref|sa4|5}} she is likely [[Alethi]], but this is not confirmed.

During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Teshav's scribe station was used as a field command post. The forces of the [[coalition of monarchs]] were stretched thin and every available soldier was needed. [[Lyn]] confided in [[Rock]] and [[Renarin]] that Kara was willing and able to fight since she had been training with a spear from a young age, facetiously referring to her childhood practice as "cheating".{{book ref|sa3|120}}

Kara soon became a [[Windrunner]] squire and was one of the many squires present during the evacuation mission to [[Hearthstone]] on the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'' in {{rosharan date|1175}}. She was one of the few squires who were allowed to directly duel the [[Fused]] and was seen scoring a hit on one of them with her spear.{{book ref|sa4|5}} She engaged in some banter with Rock after Bridge Four returned to [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa4|12}}

She also participated in scouting missions to [[singer]]-occupied Alethkar, taking notes on the general condition of cities and their inhabitants as well as singer troop placements. Notably, she reported on the city of [[Tomat]] where [[Hesina]]'s father lived.{{book ref|sa4|i|10}}

* Many Bridge Four members are cameos of Brandon's friends,{{wob ref|3693}} and she may be a cameo of [[Kara Stewart]].
