'''Laran''' is a messenger in [[House Kholin|Kholin]] army{{book ref|sa3|i|14}} turned squireWindrunner of [[Bridge Four]].{{book ref|sa4|9}}
 
At some point in Laran's past, she joined the Kholin army as a messenger.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}} She was quite able in this role; some believed her to be the fastest of the messengers.
After the discovery of the attack on the Bridge Four barracks in [[Urithiru]] during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], [[Lyn]] tasks Laran with running to the guard post and fetching [[Renarin]] to heal the wounded. Lyn considered Laran the fastest of the messengers.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}} After the battle itself, [[Kaladin]] sees [[Lopen]] telling Laran and Lyn the story of how he lost his arm. Kaladin thought it was the seventh version of the story, and lamented the fact that Lopen and [[Beard]] had never met.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
 
She likely tried out for Bridge Four with [[Lyn]] and the other female scouts and messengers from House Kholin at [[Narak]] in 1174,{{book ref|sa3|46}} and may have learned to draw in [[Stormlight]] then.{{book ref|sa3|55}} After the discovery of the attack on the Bridge Four barracks in [[Urithiru]] during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], [[Lyn]] taskstasked Laran with running to the guard post and fetching [[Renarin]] to heal the wounded. Lyn considered Laran the fastest of the messengers.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}} After the battle itself, [[Kaladin]] sees [[Lopen]] tellingtold Laran and Lyn an exaggerated version of the story of how he lost his arm. Kaladin thought it was the seventh version of the story, and lamented the fact that Lopen and [[Beard]] had never met.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
 
In the following year, Laran bonded one of the [[honorspren]] that had chosen to help refound the Windrunners and swore her first two [[Immortal Words|Ideals]].{{book ref|sa4|9}} She accompanied the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'' during its evacuation of Hearthstone and fought the [[shanay-im]] that confronted them there. Towards the end of the battle, she swore her Third Ideal and her spren manifest as a Blade for the first time. As with many Windrunners, the Third Ideal was difficult for Laran. Following the battle, she presented her spren to Kaladin in Blade form and he congratulated the pair on their accomplishment.
