Lady '''Leshwi''' is a [[singer]] and high ranking member of the ''[[shanay-im]]'', a type of [[Fused]]. She is instrumental in bringing [[Moash]] to [[Odium]]'s side.
== Appearance and Personality ==
{{image|Skies over Kholinar by BBQShapez.jpg|side=left|width=250px}}
{{for|/Gallery|more images}}
Leshwi has the seemingly rare physical trait of black, white, and red marbling on her face. Her eyes are ruby like and colored deep red.
Little more can be said about her appearance since she, like all [[Fused]], possesses another [[singer]]'s body. While flying, Leshwi wears a long red
She is a field commander, and one of the
Passion is an important virtue to Leshwi.{{book ref|sa3|54}} This likely is related to the fact that Odium believes 'Passion' to be his intent.{{wob ref|9507}} Leshwi requires those who serve her to have Passion and will not hire those who do not demonstrate it.
During the Last Desolation, she was reincarnated into a malen body, but has her beard shaved by a barber, and keeps her hair long. She actively hates the whiskers that grow upon her, even when soft and faint. It is not known if she feels general dysphoria at her malen body, or if it is specific to her facial hair.{{book ref|sa4|11}}

=== Mortal ===
Little is known of Leshwi's mortal life, except that she was friends with an honorspren named [[Riah]], and at some point, presumably during the [[First Desolation]] she died and was reborn as one of the Fused.
=== Recruiting Moash ===
When [[Moash]], [[Graves]], [[Febrth]] and [[Fia]]
Later, during the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Moash
In the aftermath of the [[Battle of Kholinar]] Leshwi
After Moash killed [[Jezrien]] at Hnanan's request Leshwi and eight other Fused
=== Evacuation of Hearthstone ===
During the evacuation of [[Hearthstone]], Leshwi
After returning to Kholinar, Leshwi attended a meeting of the Nine, where she, with her Voice, [[Venli]], described the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'' to the Nine and explained how it
{{image|Leshwi by Connor Chamberlain.jpg|side=left|width=300px}}
=== Occupation of Urithiru ===
Leshwi offered up all of her servants save two to Raboniel, including Venli, and gave Venli orders to bring her reports on Raboniel's actions.{{book ref|sa4|31}} Once Urithiru was
Singer fought singer; on one side were Leshwi, five Heavenly Ones, about twenty [[Regals]], and the human civilians. On the other side were Lezian's singer troops. Lezian's troops were afraid of the Fused and soon fled, leaving their dead behind.{{book ref|sa4|109}} Leshwi insisted that the humans she had fought alongside submit so that Leshwi could explain the situation to Raboniel and not seem in rebellion. The humans refused, and violence seemed inevitable, until [[Rlain]] took command of the situation. He told Leshwi that she had defied Odium and so would be punished unless she and her troops escaped with him. Leshwi reluctantly agreed.
Before they could depart, Deepest Ones and hundreds of stormforms arrived to exterminate them; they attacked, killing, among others, one of the Heavenly Ones. Leshwi's group of Heavenly Ones, Regals, and humans would have been overwhelmed, but Kaladin arrived in his new Shardplate, which he sent out to protect those about to be killed, including [[Adin]], [[Dabbid]], and Leshwi herself. She had speared a stormform that had released a flash of lightning that enveloped her, but was saved by Kaladin's Plate. Simultaneously, the [[Sibling]] bonded with [[Navani]] and the defenses of Urithiru were fully restored. The Fused, including Leshwi, collapsed unconscious. Afterwards, once they had been brought to the [[Oathgate]], Leshwi and the four surviving Heavenly Ones regained consciousness.{{book ref|sa4|114}} They, along with Rlain, Venli, [[Dul]], [[Mazish]], and the others that Venli had recruited, were transported to [[Narak]] via the Oathgate, where Leshwi helped find the free group of listeners.{{book ref|sa4|114}}

{{image|Duel in the Sky by Gerva Perez.jpg|side=right|width=250px|Facing off against [[Kaladin]] in the skies}}
=== Moash ===
Leshwi initially was angered at [[Moash]] because he managed to kill her so unexpectedly, but over time this anger was converted into admiration for Moash's passion. Leshwi is intrigued by Moash's motives, and he impresses her so much that she releases him. However, just before releasing him Leshwi told Moash to prove himself, and when he recalled this he voluntary returned to his [[parshmen]] crew, what seemed to be what Leshwi hoped he would do.{{book ref|sa3|54}}
Moash's assassinations of [[Elhokar]] and Jezrien seem to have boosted his and Leshwi's reputation among the Fused, and Hnanan expresses pride at Leshwi for picking out Moash.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Eventually the Fused hold Moash in such high regard that they give him Jezrien's Honorblade.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
=== Kaladin ===
Leshwi and Kaladin seem to have a mutual respect. Leshwi sees him as a rare challenge to battle in the skies.{{book ref|sa4|53}} They have multiple duels, none of which end with a clear winner. When Kaladin's powers are suppressed by corruption of the Sibling, Leshwi does not take the advantage and kill the windrunner, instead she shows honor in not wanting to beat him in an unfair fight.{{book ref|sa4|70}}▼
After the events in Urithiru and the fighting between the singers and the humans, Kaladin offers Leshwi aid and a place to stay in Narak, but she declines.{{book ref|sa4|114}}▼

=== Venli ===
[[Venli]] serves as the Voice of Lady Leshwi, expressing Leshwi's desires to others.{{book ref|sa4|11}} Initially Leshwi values Venli for her unique Envoyform talents, however treats her coldly due to her position as a servant.
