'''Hessi''' is a scholar and author on [[Roshar]]. She is the author of ''[[Mythica]]'', a work which investigates historical information about the [[Unmade]] and explores their characteristics.{{book ref|sa3|77}}
==History==
{{for|Mythica}}
Hessi was presumably alive on Roshar during the arrival of the [[Everstorm]]; she was a contemporary of [[Jasnah Kholin]]{{epigraph ref|ob|93}} and [[Shallan Davar]] mentioned that ''Mythica'' was a recent work.{{book ref|ob|77}} Shallan told [[Adolin]] and [[Kaladin]] about some of Hessi's controversial hypotheses in the book, noting that ''Mythica'' was poorly received and was hard to find.{{book ref|ob|77}} Hessi herself knew that aspects of ''Mythica'' would be contentious, such as her assertions that the [[Unmade]] were still alive{{epigraph ref|ob|92}} and that [[Moelach]] was responsible for [[Death Rattle]]s.{{epigraph ref|ob|103}} Subsequent events proved Hessi to be correct on a number of occasions,{{book ref|ob|77}} indicating that Hessi was a gifted researcher, as she was apparently able to meet the challenge of separating fact from fiction in the many tales and stories about the Unmade.{{epigraph ref|ob|90}}
==Trivia==
*[[Oathbringer/Epigraphs#Hessi's_Mythica|Selections from ''Mythica'']] are used as the epigraphs for part four of ''[[Oathbringer]]''.
