=== Surgebinding ===
Lift has formed a [[Nahel bond]] with Wyndle, which grants her the ability to Surgebind, although at first Lift herself is not entirely certain whether she believes this.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} She is able to summon Wyndle as a [[Shardblade]] after swearing the [[Order of Edgedancers#Ideals of the Edgedancers|Third Ideal]] of the Edgedancers.{{book ref|sa2.5|19}} As other Surgebinders do with Stormlight, Lift gains superhuman strength and speed when she holds [[Lifelight]], as well as the ability to heal quickly from non-mortal wounds.{{book ref |sa4|60}} When Lift is investedInvested with Lifelight, she refers to it as her "Awesomeness." She is a member of the order of Radiants known as the [[Order of Edgedancers|Edgedancers]]. This gives her access to two Surges, Abrasion and Progression. Lift also has a rare and possibly unique ability to convert food to Lifelight through consumption.{{book ref|sa4|60}} While this may seem a great blessing, she lacks the ability to gather Stormlight from gemstones and other sources,{{wob ref|8073}} though it is unknown if this is also true for spheres containing [[Lifelight]].

=== Yanagawn ===
Lift met [[Gawx]] when she joined [[Huqin]]'s crew in [[Azimir]]. The two infiltrate the Brass Palace together, and when one of [[Nale]]'s apprentices killsslits Gawx's throat, Lift rescues him, and the freshly-minted [[Prime Aqasix]] pardons her.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} This forges a strong bond between the two; following those events, she remains in Azimir at his side, and when she does briefly leave for [[Yeddaw]], he's ready to grant her his authority with the local government. {{book ref|sa2.5|13}}
 
By the time [[Dalinar]] begins to curry favour with the Azish, Yanagawn considers her one of his closest and most valuable advisors, even if he must on occasion listen to others; she, in turn, strives to aid him as best she can.{{book ref|sa3|42}} While he does have a guard stationed by her quarters as the fleet leaves, he doesn't begrudge her knocking them out and leaving.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
