+
'''Yaalani the Brave''' is a historical [[Eelakin]] trapper.{{ref|b|sixth}}
   
  +
She is famous for being the only female trapper.
==History==
 
According to legend, Yaalani is the only female trapper recorded in Eelakin history. She ignored custom and traveled to the [[Pantheon]] to perform the incredibly dangerous task of trapping [[Aviar]].{{book ref|sixth}} Her story is well known and often told to young girls.
 
 
[[Vathi]], a well-educated Eelakin woman, grew up listening to stories of Yaalani.{{book ref|sixth}} She has since learned of myths from many other cultures wherein an extraordinary woman served in a role traditionally held by men, such as a warrior, general, or trapper. Vathi believes that Yaalani and other myths regarding gender role reversal are actually used by parents to remind girls that breaking tradition is the exception and not the rule.{{book ref|sixth}}
 
 
==Trivia==
 
* ''Sixth of the Dusk'' takes place near the end of the [[cosmere]] timeline{{wob ref|1782}} and some readers have speculated about Yaalani's identity, but Brandon has confirmed that Yaalani is not from another work currently (as of the release of ''[[Oathbringer]]'').{{wob ref|11689}}
