== Appearance and Personality ==

|Edgli on [[Uli Da]]'s death{{epigraph ref|sa3|40}}
}}
Edgli's appearance and even species are unknown; when speaking to the [[Returned]], she has a calm, comforting voice. To them, she is gentle and kind, offering the possibility of coming back without pressuring them into it.{{book ref|wb|57}} In private, however, she's a lot less personable. She's uninterested in meddling with the [[cosmere]] beyond [[Nalthis]], and dislikes the idea of [[Shard]]s interfering with one another; at the same time, she meddles with Nalthis itself extensively through the Returned.{{wob ref|7652}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}} She's said to be erratic, particularly when it comes to the manner in which she picks the people to Return.{{wob ref|3443}}
She actively doesn't wish to interfere with other Shards, in accordance with their agreement. She is disappointed that so few [[Vessel]]s have kept to it, and considers those that break it to be fools, and believes that no good can come from two Shards residing on the same planet.{{epigraph ref|sa3|37}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}}
Though she calls [[Hoid]] "Dearest Cephandrius", she seems to dislike him quite heavily; she is frustrated with his visits to her territory, chastises him for refusing to become a Vessel, and generally tells him off for trying to interfere with the matters above what she perceives to be his weight class.{{epigraph ref|sa3|33}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|41}} She appears to be more amicable when speaking with [[Harmony]].{{epigraph ref|sa4|24}} While it might be due to both of them being [[Shard]]s, she does not extend the same courtesy to [[Uli Da]], and is dismissive of [[Aona]] and [[Skai]]'s fate.{{epigraph ref|sa3|40}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|37}}
== Abilities and Attributes ==
{{for|Endowment#Associated Magic|the powers of Endowment}}
As a [[Vessel]] of the [[Shard]] [[Endowment]], Edgli is immortal and immensely powerful; she can even bring the recently-dead back to life through bestowing her [[Splinter]]s, [[Divine Breath]], upon them.{{wob ref|6724}}{{wob ref|143}} Like other Shards, she is capable of perceiving the future, though it's unknown how good she is at it.{{book ref|wb|57}} She does, however, rank higher than most in being able to spot [[Hoid]], as she declares herself perfectly capable of detecting his "intrusions" on [[Nalthis]] regardless of what disguise he uses.{{epigraph ref|sa3|35}} It's unclear whether this is some capacity granted to her by her particular Shard, or simply her own keen mind.
== History ==
Like all original [[Vessel]]s, Edgli is a native of [[Yolen]].{{wob ref|7939}} She participated in the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]], and took up one of the [[Shard]]s, [[Endowment]].{{msh ref|3|2}} Honoring the deal that the Vessels made, to each go their own ways, she set out of Yolen and eventually wound up on [[Nalthis]], Investing herself in it and becoming its sole Shard.{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}}{{wob ref|1120}}

== Trivia ==
* Edgli is the author of the first of the [[letters]] in ''[[Oathbringer]]'' epigraphs.
* The "E" in her name is pronounced as "eh", like in the word "echo".{{wob ref|847}}
* Brandon has repeatedly avoided stating whether or not Edgli is a [[dragon (cosmere)|dragon]],{{wob ref|10924}}{{wob ref|1346}} although elsewhere he has confirmed that only one of the current Vessels is a dragon{{wob ref|15149}} and later he confirmed that [[Koravellium Avast]], the [[Vessel]] of [[Cultivation]],{{file ref|Alethi Glyphs Page 2.jpg}} is one.{{wob ref|14564}} This makes it unlikely that Edgli is a dragon as well.
