||
| − | Nalma was among a group of branded slaves that belonged to [[Tasinar]].{{book ref|sa3|17}} Her husband was sold to a different slaver, which was illegal, although common in practice, and she wanted to find him.{{book ref|sa3|97}} [[Kaladin]], who was also one of Tasinar's slaves during the period between his expulsion from [[Amaram]]'s army and his arrival at the [[Shattered Plains]], promised to help her find her husband.{{book ref|sa3|17}} He helped Nalma and some other slaves escape, and they survived for five days in the wilderness.{{book ref|sa3|17}}{{book ref|sa1|55}} However, a hunting party that Tasinar sent to look for them began closing in, forcing the slaves to try and move. As Kaladin and Nalma moved through the underbrush, her leg was caught in a powerful steel trap, breaking it and causing it to bleed profusely. Nalma urged Kaladin to run, but he ineffectively tried to bandage her wound. Nalma bled to death while Kaladin held her hand. Nalma's screams alerted the hunters, and they killed the rest of the escaped slaves except Kaladin, likely sparing him so that he could warn other slaves against any escape attempts.{{book ref|sa3|97}} |

| − | Kaladin often thought of Nalma later in life as one of the people that he had failed to protect; she came to mind at times when his friends were in danger or when he himself was being hunted.{{book ref|sa1|57}}{{book ref|sa4|6}}{{book ref|sa4|44}} Hers was one of the names that came to his mind when he attempted to say the [[Immortal Words#Ideals of the Windrunners|Fourth Ideal]] of the [[Windrunners]] at the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|118}} He also thought of her when he was posing as a captive of the [[singer]]s who were freed by the [[Everstorm]], since he also considered them runaway slaves.{{book ref|sa3|17}} |
