| Lyn on why she wants to become a [[Windrunner]]{{book ref|sa3|46}}

'''Lyn''' is an [[Alethi]] scout and, later, a [[Windrunner]] [[squire]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|46}}

Lyn is a short, "solid-looking" [[darkeyes|darkeyed]] [[Alethi]] woman with long black hair, which she wears in a ponytail.{{book ref|sa2|81}}{{book ref|sa3|29}} She's usually dressed in the blue [[Kholin]] uniform.{{book ref|sa3|35}}

She's interested in pursuing the masculine arts, and dislikes being treated as incapable of fighting just because she's a woman. She's disappointed when [[Shallan]] informs her that a [[Radiant]] can be feminine, and when Kaladin suggests that Lyn can serve as a secretary, she's furious with him.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|35}} She's impatient and eager, and wants to take the fight to the enemy rather than wait for it to come to her.{{book ref|sa3|35}}{{book ref|sa3|46}} She's also good at making friends, sliding into the [[Bridge Four]] group without any problems, and appreciates good art.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|8}} She can keep a cool head in stressful situations, and take charge when necessary.{{book ref|sa3|29}}{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}

When [[Kaladin]] returned and Bridge Four began to recruit [[squire]]s, Lyn attempted to join. Kaladin initially thought she wanted to be a scribe, but after the situation was cleared up, he allowed her and four other scout women to join.{{book ref|sa3|35}} Lyn initially had problems breathing in [[stormlight]], but with [[Skar]]'s help, managed to do so, becoming a proper squire.{{book ref|sa3|46}} Eventually, the rest of her squad joined her.{{book ref|sa3|55}}

From then on, Lyn easily slid into Bridge Four's structure, becoming fast friend with other members. Shortly before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], she was on good enough terms to know their history with [[Amaram]], even suggesting that she could "stab him a little" for them.{{book ref|sa3|111}} When [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]] was stolen, she was present, and ordered another scout to fetch [[Renarin]] to help with [[Rock]]'s wounds.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}

After [[Teft]] managed to swear his Third Ideal, Lyn came to [[Thaylen City]] along with the rest of Bridge Four, carrying Rock until he was close enough to Kaladin to start healing himself with stormlight. Afterwards, she participated in the fighting.{{book ref|sa3|120}} She survived the battle, and was last seen listening to [[Lopen]]'s story of how he lost his arm.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

== Abilities ==

| I could [stab Amaram a little]. I've only started training with a spear. We could claim it was an accident.

| Lyn or her own combat ability{{book ref|sa3|111}}

Lyn is one of [[Kaladin]]'s [[squire]]s, allowing her to heal herself with [[stormlight]], as well as use the [[Surge]]s of [[Gravitation]] and [[Adhesion]], but only when he's nearby. While she's not shown using the latter, she is capable of flying by the time of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} As a scout, she was armed with a knife, and presumably knew how to use it.{{book ref|sa3|70}} After joining Bridge Four, she begins to use a spear, although she's still, by her own admission, only a beginner.{{book ref|sa3|111}} She's also capable of drawing what she'd scouted from memory, although her artwork prioritizes speed over quality.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
