'''Laral Roshone''' is the citylady of [[Hearthstone]].{{book ref|sa4|18}} She is the daughter of former citylord [[Wistiow]]{{book ref|sa1|16}} and
== Appearance and Personality ==
In the years prior to the [[True Desolation]], her appearance matures somewhat, her face becoming firm and lean. She also begins to wear her undyed hair in a tail and to wear much more utilitarian clothing than the fancier clothing she had worn previously.{{book ref|sa3|7}}
While Hearthstone was occupied by the [[Fused]], Laral wore a simple servant's dress, along with a gloved safe hand instead of a sleeve.{{book ref|sa4|1}}

When Kaladin returned to Hearthstone in 1174, Laral berated him for damaging her floor with his [[Shardblade]] and, more importantly, for thinking that she needed "saving" from her marriage to Roshone. She expressed willingness to help the citizens of Hearthstone weather the new [[everstorm|everstorms]] and the lack of [[Parshmen]], then operated a [[spanreed]] for Kaladin so he could speak with [[Dalinar]] before heading back to [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|7}}
=== The Occupation of Hearthstone ===
Laral conspired with [[Lirin]] to protect the [[Herdazian]] General known as The [[Mink]], who was posing as a refugee. The plan is interrupted as [[Lezian]] arrives. [[Kaladin]] is revealed to be amongst the refugees, instigating a battle.{{book ref|sa4|1}} During the battle, Laral's home (the citylord's manor) is burned by [[Lezian]].{{book ref|sa4|7}} Laral's husband [[Roshone]] is killed by [[Vyre]] within the manor.{{book ref|sa4|8}}
Laral is evacuated via The [[Fourth Bridge]] to Urithiru. Under [[Jasnah]]'s new inheritance laws, [[Laral]] gained the title of citylady of [[Hearthstone]], which entitled her to meet Queen Jasnah at [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa4|18}}
== Relationships ==
}}
Laral and Kaladin are friends while growing up together in Hearthstone, though as they grow older, she becomes Kaladin's first crush.{{book ref|sa1|16}}{{book ref|sa3|99}} 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.{{book ref|sa1|25}} When she moves on from him and becomes romantically involved with the Roshones, Kaladin has a difficult time accepting that she is doing so of her own choice.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
=== Roshone ===
When Roshone was been given authority over Hearthstone, including possession of the mansion and surrounding lands, Highprince Sadeas gave Laral a dowry in compensation. Because of this, Roshone saw the need of marrying her into her family.{{book ref|sa1|37}} She was originally engaged to his son, Rillir, but after his death in a hunting accident, this engagement was made to Roshone himself.{{book ref|sa1|44}}
By the time of the True Desolation, Laral and Roshone had been married for several years. She claims satisfaction with the agreement and even defends him before Kaladin when he spoke ill of her husband. She seems to have used the marriage to become politically engaged and has strong loyalty from their soldiers.{{book ref|sa3|7}}
Laral and presumably Roshone's children were evacuated from Hearthstone and now reside in Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|18}}
