Armal is a [[Rioter]] and can use [[zinc]] to inflame people's emotions. She is likely somewhat untrained in the use of her powers, as even her close family members are not aware of them.{{book ref|mb7|56}} She is one of only a few people who have been seen fueling their powers with purified [[Dor]], a "hyperefficient" source of [[Investiture]].{{book ref|mb7|40}} Marasi compared the power of Armal's Dor-fueled Rioting to the strength of legendary figures from [[Classical Scadrial]] such as [[Vin]] and the [[Lord Ruler]].{{book ref|mb7|60}}

Armal grew up as part of [[House Harms]] and lived a relatively affluent lifestyle.{{book ref|mb7|56}} She was familiar with her cousin Steris, but she did not know [[Marasi Colms]] well due to the family concealing her status as [[Jackstom Harms]]'s illegitimate daughter.{{book ref|mb7|56}}

In {{date|341 [[Catacendre|PC]]FA}}, during [[WaxWaxillium Ladrian]] and [[Wayne]]'s investigation of the [[Vanishers]], Armal became one of their kidnapping victims, targeted because she was a descendant of [[Spook]] who would be more likely to have [[Allomancer]] children.{{book ref|mb4|2}}{{book ref|mb7|56}}{{book ref|mb4|7}} She was taken during a play at the [[Coolerim Playhouse]], and her family had no idea what happened to her.{{book ref|mb4|2}}

When [[Marasi Colms]] snuck into Wayfarer to find the [[perpendicularity]] located there, she encountered some of the residents and soon recognized Armal. She and her friends did not like the lord mayor, [[Gave Entrone]], and they helped conceal Marasi.{{book ref|mb7|56}} Although Armal listened with interest to Marasi's explanation of their fate, it did not overcome the years of abuse and isolation she had endured. She seemed to believe that Marasi was at least partially telling the truth, but she wanted to protect her family. She did not want to participate in a revolt against Entrone, but she agreed to lead Marasi to his mansion. Before they left, Marasi remembered that she had a jar of pure [[Investiture]] (purified [[Dor]]) that she had received from [[Moonlight]].{{book ref|mb7|57}} She entrusted it to Armal and presumably explained what it could be used for in an emergency, telling her that she might need to spread it around to the other Allomancers in her group.{{book ref|mb7|60}}

Armal, Marasi, and the Allomancers of Wayfarer then drained the perpendicularity in the mansion just before [[men of gold and red|Autonomy]]'s forces]] could enter [[Scadrial]] through it.{{book ref|mb7|64}}
