Lady Leshwi is a singer and member of the Fused. She is instrumental in bringing Moash to Odium's side.
“What is your passionate fury, Moash, the man with an ancient singer's name? ”
—Leshwi to Moash[1]
Appearance and Personality
She has the seemingly rare physical trait of black, white, and red marbling on her face. Little more can be said about her appearance since she possesses another singer's body, but her eyes are a deep red. While flying Leshwi wears a long red cape.[1]
Leshwi is one of the singer leaders during the Siege of Kholinar, in her view that is because she is one of the few fused who are still sane.[1] Moash thinks her place in the chain of command is closer to that of a field captain than a highprince.[2]
Abilities and Attributes
Leshwi is able to use Voidlight and has access to the Surge of Gravitation.[1][2] She doesn't heal from wounds like most Knights Radiant do.[3]
When Leshwi fights Moash she uses a long, curved Parshendi sword.[3]
History
When Moash, Graves, Febrth and Fia have set up a camp Leshwi and three other fused attack them. Only Moash was able to stand ground against them, his companions were dead within seconds. Moash uses his shardblade to fight with Leshwi, but when she realises that Moash isn't well practiced with the sword she starts to attack more fiercely, but she is surprised when Moash dismisses his shardblade, dashes away and picks up a spear. She then lashes Moash in the air, but he pulled her with him and kills Leshwi mid air by ramming a knife in her chest. Leshwi's companions take Moash captive after that.[3]
Later, during the Siege of Kholinar, Moash demands to speak to a fused in charge, and he is brought to Leshwi. While hovering in the sky the two of them have a long conversation. Leshwi says that 'Moash' is a singer name and reveals to Moash that she is the one whom he killed before. Leshwi is impressed by Moash's passion and understanding of the singer's cause and tells him why the fused are at war with humankind. After this conversation she let Moash go as a free man.
After the Battle of Kholinar Leshwi visits Moash during his work of clearing rubble. She knows that he is curious why they are destroying the palace even more, but says that he will get to know why in due time (they were probably looking for Elhokar's cryptic[4]). Leshwi is pleased that Moash was content with that answer, and orders him to come up the palace because Hnanan had a request for him.
After Moash killed Jezrien Leshwi and eight other fused come to him again. They offer him Jezrien's honorblade, but Leshwi warns him that 'Moash' will be no more. Moash accepts this fate, and Leshwi gives him a new name: Vyre, he who quiets.[5]
Relationships
Moash
At first Leshwi was angered at him because Moash managed to kill her so unexpectedly, but this deed later led her to respect Moash in a certain way. In their conversation while flying Leshwi told Moash to prove himself, so when Moash recalls this he returns to his parshmen crew even though Leshwi set him free, and this seemed to be what Leshwi hoped he would do.[1]
Moash's assassinations of Elhokar and Jezrien seem to have boosted Leshwi's reputation among the Fused.[2][5] Hnanan expresses "pride for Leshwi at picking out Moash".[2]
