History
Early Life
Laral was a childhood friend of Kaladin's while they grew up together in Hearthstone; they played together and Kaladin often ate with her in the kitchens of her father's mansion.[3] As they both matured, she began to flirt with him and he began to return her feelings. One day, she, Kaladin, and Tien were out hunting lurgs when they noticed a group of boys congregating idly instead of worming the lavis polyps. Laral led Kaladin down to the others and thrust him into what was a very confusing confrontation for him, before returning home after Jost beat Kaladin with his quarterstaff. Her father died that day while he was tended to by Lirin.[2] She inherited the rest of Wistiow's wealth and was given a dowry by Highprince Sadeas in lieu of the authority over Hearthstone and her father's old property.[3]
Marriage
For several months after her father's death, Laral was confined to the mansion.[5] With the coming of Brightlord Roshone, she turned to courting his son and heir, Rillir. She began dressing as a true Alethi lighteyed woman in an effort to capture Rillir's attention, going so far as to treat Kaladin like an errand boy when the she and Rillir encountered him in the mansion's kitchen.[3]
Laral was at Lirin's surgery room with Rillir after he had been gored by a whitespine, panicking and yelling before her guards took her away.[6] After Rillir's death, she eventually became betrothed to Brightlord Roshone himself. She wore a bride's prayer on her sleeve the day that Highprince Amaram arrived and took Tien and Kaladin into his army, though they did not formally announce their engagement at the time.[1]
At some point during the years 1168 to 1174, Laral married Roshone.[4]
When Kaladin returns to Hearthstone in 1174, she berated him for damaging her floor with his Shardblade and for thinking she needed "saving" from her marriage to Roshone. She then helped him send a message via spanreed to Dalinar.[4]
Relationships
Kaladin
Laral grows up with Kaladin in Hearthstone. They are friends, though as they grow older, she becomes one of the first girls Kaladin seriously likes.[2] Kaladin's parents encourage him to play with her with the hope that one day they would marry. In the meantime, Laral herself encourages Kaladin to become a soldier and win a Shardblade so that, as a lighteyes, he could be her equal in a marriage.[7] When she moves on from him and gets involved with the Roshones, Kaladin has a difficult time accepting that she is doing so of her own choice.[1]
