{{quote
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.{{book ref|sa4|11}} She is not afraid to speak her mind, even in the presence of people ranked more highly than her and even if it goes against social conventions. She is also more open-minded than some of the other Fused.{{book ref|sa4|14}}
 
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}}

== History ==
 
=== Mortal ===
Little is known of Leshwi's previousmortal 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 ===
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 taken by the Fused, Leshwi took custody of [[Lirin]], [[Hesina]], and [[Oroden]] to protect them from Lezian.{{book ref|sa4|53}} Leshwi accepted another duel with Kaladin but showed mercy to him when she discovered he didn't have access to all his Surges. The duel ended when Kaladin escaped to destroy a node of the [[Sibling]].{{book ref|sa4|70}} Later, Venli revealed that she is a Radiant and Leshwi was overjoyed, proclaiming that the spren have forgiven the singers.{{book ref|sa4|109}} Leshwi asked Venli whether her [[spren]] knew her old friend, an honorspren named [[Riah]]. Venli says she does not but, that there are spren willing to bond singers again. Leshwi replied that her soul has been too long owned by someone else for that.{{book ref|sa4|109}} Lezian's soldiers then attacked the unarmed humans protecting the unconscious [[Knights Radiant]]; Venli whispered that she was caught between two worlds and didn't know what to do. Leshwi responded, "It's all right, Voice. I know the answer."{{book ref|sa4|109}} She then unsheathed her sword, flew directly to the fight, and commanded the singer troops to halt. When they didn't, Leshwi attacked them, and her troops joined her.
 
Singer fought singer; on one side were Leshwi, five Heavenly Ones, about twenty [[Regals]], and the humanshuman 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}}
