Difference between revisions of "Khrissalla"

Khriss has brown skin, being from the Darkside of Taldain. She has brown eyes and wears her hair in braids. While on Dayside, Khriss wears a pair of dark, heavy sunglasses as she is unused to the sunlight of Dayside. She also wears a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun's rays from her face. {{book ref|ws1|3}}

Khriss was engaged for a time to [[Gevalden]]--or Gevin, as he preferred in informal settings {{book ref|ws1|5}}--the Prince of Elis. Before their wedding, Gevalden travelled to Dayside in search of the mythical Sand Mages, where he disappeared and was presumed dead. Khriss, determined to seek out what her fiancé was trying to discover, travelled to Dayside with [[Baon]], [[Cynder]], and [[Jon Acron]]. {{book ref|ws1|3}}

On Dayside, she discovered that [[Kenton]], whom she'd met previously, {{book ref|ws1|3}} was the newly appointed [[Lord Mastrell]] of the sand masters (or Sand Mages, as she'd previously referred to them). {{book ref|ws1|6}} Though initially infuriated, she eventually chose to assist him in his mission to preserve the Diem. {{book ref|ws2|1}} She continued to do so even following the news of her betrothed's supposed death {{book ref|ws2|2}} and attempted to research the mechanics of Sand Mastery. {{book ref|ws2|5}}. Following the party at Lord Admiral's, she decided to try learning it herself, enlisting Kenton's help. {{book ref|ws2|6}}.

Khriss and [[Nazh]] were discovered by [[Kelsier]] in the [[Cognitive Realm]] of [[Scadrial]]. The pair enlightened Kelsier on how the events on Scadrial were affecting the Cosmere. They remained quite vague as to why they were there - although Khriss mentioned wanting to see what the death of a Shard looks like - or about other events elsewhere in the Cosmere that were unrelated to the current conflict. They left abruptly after Kelsier told them of his meeting with [[Hoid|Drifter]]. {{msh ref|3|2}}

She later appeared at a party in [[New Seran]] in post-[[Catacendre]] Scadrial.{{book ref|mb6|12}} There she stole a dance with [[Waxillium Ladrian]] and asked him questions about his powers and how they related to physics. She was also mentioned in a broadsheet ad, telling people who hear talking tools to contact Khriss and Nazh. {{article ref|The New Ascendancy}}

During the events of ''White Sand'', she is engaged to prince [[Gevalden]] of [[Elis]]. They appear to have been quite close, enough so that Khriss organized an expedition to find him on her own following his disappearance on Dayside. {{book ref|ws1|3}}

* She would be mistaken for being a [[Makabaki]] on [[Roshar]]. {{book ref|twok|i|1}} {{ref|text=Baon, who has the same skin tone as Khriss, was seen by [[Ishikk]] as Makabaki. Therefore it follows that he would think the same of Khriss.}}

* Khriss was involved in the founding of a university in Silverlight. {{wob ref|8342}}

* She knows more about the [[cosmere]] and its [[Investiture|magics]] than even [[Hoid]] or [[Nazh]]. {{wob ref|5623}}

* She is the author of the [[Ars Arcanum|Ars Arcana]]. {{wob ref|6873}}
