'''Mik''' is a child with a head wound in [[Yeddaw]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa2.5|10}}

'''Mik''' is an urchin with a head wound.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}}
   
== Appearance and Personality==

== Appearance ==
Mik is around ten or eleven years old. He is a large child, larger than [[Lift]].{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} He has a prominent scar on his head that does not appear to be fully healed.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} His head is shaved, and the hair has not grown back on the side of his head around the scar.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}}
+
Mik is a boy with a flat, round face. [[Lift]] associates this with people who "weren't born quite the same as other folk" {{book ref|sa2.5|6}}. He has a large scar on his head, and no hair grows on that area of his head. When he leaves [[Tashi's Light Orphanage]], the scar is gone.
   
== History ==
+
== Personality ==
Mik was abandoned by his mother outside of the orphanage.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} Lift noted that he was unresponsive and drooling.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} His mother appeared to be quite upset about leaving him, and [[Wyndle]] was shocked by her actions; Lift speculated that Mik's mother was forced to abandon him because of her inability to tend to his special needs alongside her other children.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} Lift took his hand and tried to speak to him, but he showed no signs of comprehension or any ability to communicate.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} However, when the [[Stump]] saw Mik, she believed that he was faking his injury.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}}
+
Lift meets him outside Tashi's Light Orphanage where he is mute and looks to have a head wound.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} His mother leaves him, but was very upset that she had to, and was crying. He was about 10 or 11. He is drooling, and is incapable of communicating. Lift hugs him, but nothing changes. After being taken in by [[Stump|the Stump]] he is slowly healed by her.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}} He begins to communicate and talk, and eventually his mom takes him back.
 
The next day, Mik approached Lift looking for food. He was able to tell her his name and speak in short sentence fragments.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}} He seemed confused but asked after his mother. Lift thought he was just having a better day, but the Stump continued to insist that he was faking it.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}} When Lift saw Mik again later in the day, he was able to speak normally and remembered his mother, although his memory of the last few weeks was foggy and he still did not understand why she left him at an orphanage.{{book ref|sa2.5|17}} Lift realized that he had healed at a supernatural rate and assumed it was through her [[Surgebinding]] power known as [[Surgebinding#Progression|Regrowth]]. She was perplexed by the fact that she seemed to be healing his mind, which she believed to be beyond her abilities, and that the healing was happening without her active participation.{{book ref|sa2.5|17}}
 
 
Mik's mother returned to the orphanage the next day due to her guilt about abandoning him, and he left with her.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}} Mik's case, along with other evidence, led Lift to the conclusion that the Stump was the Surgebinder that had healed Mik. The Stump had also unknowingly healed many other children, leading to her constant skepticism about their injuries.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}}
