m (→Worldhopping: Changed wording a bit, "then they went to Komashi" makes it sound like they went to Threnody, then instantly went to Komashi. Which, while possible, isn't even implied by the text. Thus changed it to something that didn't have that implication.) |

Like other Cryptics, Design is a creature with stiff robes and a shifting pattern for a head. Her head pattern is lacy and intricate, and seems to be more fine and graceful than [[Pattern]]'s. She has a musical, feminine voice. She can flare out her pattern, which is her way of giving a bow.{{book ref|sa4|80}}
When living on [[Komashi]], she took the form of an attractive Nagadan woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, with a full form and long white hair. This was achieved via a Lightweaving illusion.{{book ref|yumi|5}} She specifically asked for a striking and voluptuous figure, both as a way to be particularly disturbing to people if she ever reveals her true appearance, and because she likes the appearance of human curves.{{book ref|yumi|5}}
=== Personality ===
Design is cheerful and energetic. She gets annoyed easily and considers that to be endearing. She does not mind spoiling the end of stories and considers surprises to be dumb,{{book ref|sa4|80}} unless, it appears, the surprise is for the purposes of playing a prank on someone.{{book ref|yumi|5}}
Design enjoys annoying Hoid, poking holes in his stories and tricks in front of others. She happily points out when Hoid makes a mistake. She likes getting into arguments with Hoid.{{book ref|sa4|80}}{{book ref|sa4|epilogue}}

Eventually, she and Hoid managed to escape Roshar and travel the cosmere, with some difficulty.{{book ref|yumi|17}}{{wob ref|15986}} However, it is not known where she was during Hoid's stay on Scadrial following the True Desolation.{{wob ref|16009}} At some point they found a way to have Design appear and interact as if she were human, using "a complicated wireframe [[Lightweaving]] with force projections attached directly to her cognitive element as it manifested in the physical realm."{{book ref|yumi|5}} They went to [[Threnody]],{{book ref|yumi|17}} and later went to the planet [[Komashi]], where Hoid found himself
She developed a cordial relationship with [[Nikaro|Painter]], who frequented her restaurant
