}}
'''Lyn''' is an [[Alethi]] scout and, later, a [[Windrunner]] [[squire]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|46}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
Lyn is a short, "solid-looking" [[darkeyes|darkeyed]] [[Alethi]] woman with long black hair, which she wears in a ponytail.{{book ref|sa2|81}}{{book ref|sa3|29}} She's usually dressed in the blue [[Kholin]] uniform.{{book ref|sa3|35}}
She's interested in pursuing the masculine arts, and dislikes being treated as incapable of fighting just because she's a woman. She's disappointed when [[Shallan]] informs her that a [[Radiant]] can be feminine, and when Kaladin suggests that Lyn can serve as a secretary, she's furious with him.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|35}} She's impatient and eager, and wants to take the fight to the enemy rather than wait for it to come to her.{{book ref|sa3|35}}{{book ref|sa3|46}} She's also good at making friends, sliding into the [[Bridge Four]] group without any problems, and appreciates good art.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|8}} She can keep a cool head in stressful situations, and take charge when necessary.{{book ref|sa3|29}}{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}
== History ==
=== Scout and Messenger ===
Lyn was one of the scouts who accompanied [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s expedition into the center of the [[Shattered Plains]]. She, along with [[Shim]] and [[Felt]], aided [[Shallan]] with mapping out the central plateaus during the [[Battle of Narak]], providing illustrations.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
Following the [[Alethi]] moving to [[Urithiru]],
=== Windrunner Squire ===
When [[Kaladin]]
From then on, Lyn easily slid into Bridge Four's structure, becoming fast friend with other members. Shortly before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], she was on good enough terms to know their history with [[Amaram]], even suggesting that she could "stab him a little" for them.{{book ref|sa3|111}} When [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]] was stolen, she was present, and ordered another scout to fetch [[Renarin]] to help with [[Rock]]'s wounds.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}
▲When [[Kaladin]] returns and Bridge Four begins to recruit [[squire]]s, she attempts to join. Kaladin initially thinks she wishes to be a scribe, but after the situation is cleared up, allows her and four other scout women to join.{{book ref|sa3|35}} She initially has problems breathing in [[stormlight]], but with [[Skar]]'s help, managed to do so, becoming a proper squire.{{book ref|sa3|46}} Eventually, her fellow scout women join her.{{book ref|sa3|55}}

Lyn is one of [[Kaladin]]'s [[squire]]s, allowing her to heal herself with [[stormlight]], as well as use the [[Surge]]s of [[Gravitation]] and [[Adhesion]], but only when he's nearby. While she's not shown using the latter, she is capable of flying by the time of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} As a scout, she was armed with a knife, and presumably knew how to use it.{{book ref|sa3|70}} After joining Bridge Four, she begins to use a spear, although she's still, by her own admission, only a beginner.{{book ref|sa3|111}} She's also capable of drawing what she'd scouted from memory, although her artwork prioritizes speed over quality.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
