== Appearance and Personality ==
Essu is tall, with a long face and red-orange hair worn in a top knot. During the singer invasion of [[Urithiru]], she wears a femalen body. Her skin is marbled white and red, and has a pattern similar to that of her mother's.{{book ref|sa4|49}}{{book ref|sa4|65}}
Essu suffers from severe cognitive impairment, as her mind has been broken by the unending cycle of death and rebirth that the Fused experienced during the [[Desolation]]s. Her head flops from side to side, and she often stares off glassy-eyed or giggles to herself;{{book ref|sa4|49}} she is one of the most unhinged Fused that [[Navani]] has encountered.{{book ref|sa4|65}} She does not have any physical impairments, but she has a tendency to drool; she has an attendant who dabs it away for her.{{book ref|sa4|97}} Essu often follows and even mimics her mother, Raboniel.{{book ref|sa4|97}} She is capable of speaking and sometimes asks for her mother, but she does not recognize her.{{book ref|sa4|65}} She somehow knows a tune usually sung by humans in taverns, and is able to hum it.{{book ref|sa4|84}}
▲'''Essu''' is a [[Fused]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa4|97}} She is [[Raboniel]]'s daughter.{{book ref|sa4|65}} After her death, Essu's body was burned and the ashes were returned to the family of the singer she inhabited.{{book ref|sa4|97}}

Although Essu is insane, she retains the inherent powers of a Fused. She is able to possess a new [[singer]] body during the [[True Desolation]], and she cannot be killed by normal means.{{book ref|sa4|97}} Navani believes that Essu is the same brand of Fused as Raboniel, a ''[[fannahn-im]]''.{{book ref|sa4|49}}
==History==
At some point during the [[Heraldic Epochs]] when Fused were regularly killed and reborn, Essu went insane. Her mother, Raboniel had hoped that a mother and daughter serving together would preserve their sanity, but was proven incorrect.{{book ref|sa4|65}} After the [[Last Desolation]], she was trapped on [[Braize]] for millenia with the rest of the Fused, and finally returned to [[Roshar]] during the [[True Desolation]]. A singer family "donated" a body for her to use.{{book ref|sa4|97}}
On Roshar, Essu was in the care of her mother and joined her when she led the singer invasion of Urithiru. After Raboniel captured Navani and put her to work researching [[Lights]], Essu was often in the room. She did not pose a danger to Navani, who was mostly confused by her presence.{{book ref|sa4|49}}{{book ref|sa4|61}} Raboniel later revealed to Navani that Essu was her daughter.{{book ref|sa4|65}}
Essu suffered minor injuries when Raboniel
After her death, Essu's body was burned and the ashes were returned to the family of the singer that she inhabited.{{book ref|sa4|97}}
