== History ==
Vin's sister died in infancy at the hands of her mother. [[Ruin]], wanting to strategically place a pawn he could use to release himself from the [[Well of Ascension]], focused on the sisters as they presented a unique situation which he could use to his advantage.{{bookepigraph ref|mb1|epigraph|74}} Capitalizing on their mother's [https[Wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia Schizophrenia|mental illness]], he engineered the death of Vin's sister in order for Vin to have the power necessary to find and release him from his prison.{{bookepigraph ref|mb1|epigraph|74}}
 
On the day of her death, Vin's sister was left, along with Vin, in the care of their mother while their older brother Reen went out, unable to take either of the girls with him.{{book ref|mb1|20}} While he was gone, Vin's mother, corrupted by Ruin into hating her youngest daughter, murdered her child by slicing open her chest to gain access to the girl's heart, which she stabbed with one of her own{{wob ref|2352}}{{book ref|mb2|44}} bronze earrings.{{book ref|mb1|20}}{{wob ref|8031}} She gave this earring to her older daughter Vin, who had witnessed the death of her sister, by forcefully inserting it into her earlobe, creating a way for Ruin to manipulate Vin later in life.{{book ref|mb2|5}} Later when Reen returned home, he found his mother holding Vin and his youngest sister's corpse at his mothers feet.{{book ref|mb1|20}} It is unclear if Reen disposed of his sister's body after their mother fled their home or if it was left to be found by others.
At some point after this incident, Reen told Vin about what had occurred and how her sister had been killed.{{book ref|mb1|20}}
 
After joining [[Kelsier]]'s crew, Vin began to open up about her past and the death of her sister, speaking with several crew members{{book ref|mb1|20}}{{book ref|mb1|31}} as well as her husband, [[Elend]]{{book ref|mb2|44}} about her the trauma.

== Relationships ==
=== Vin ===
Vin was present when her sister was murdered, and although she does not remember the event, the loss of her sibling has left deep psychological scars. Although her sister was a baby when she died, and Vin does not blamesblame her for being gone, her sister's death has contributed towards Vin's fear of abandonment and distrust of others.{{book ref|mb1|31}} Vin rarely, if ever, spoke or thought of her sister following her death, until after she joined Kelsier's crew and began opening up about her past, as she had never really known her or had any positive reasons to reflect on their connection.{{wob ref|3524}}{{book ref|mb3|43}}
 
=== Vin's Mother ===
Through Ruin's corruption, Vin's mother came to hate her second child and thought she was repulsive and a monster.{{wob ref|8031}} Ruin utilized the mother's [https[Wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia Schizophrenia|mental illness]] in order to influence the womenwoman and take advantage of her, ultimately leading to the death of Vin's younger sister.{{wob ref|8031}}{{wob ref|50}}
