This includes: * Aura Recognition - allows her to assess the number of Breaths a person possesses. * Perfect Pitch * Perfect Color Recognition - allows her to instantly and instinctively determine exact shades of colors and their hue harmonics. * Perfect Life Sense - allows her to sense people around ~~him~~her. * Agelessness - makes her immune to most toxins and physical ailments, as well as making her functionally immortal. Mercystar is known for her involvement in politics, yet she ~~wasn’t~~is not all that inﬂuential. {{book ref\|wb\|21}} She can be easily swayed by other Returned such as Blushweaver that are more skilled with rhetoric.{{book ref\|wb\|23}} She has the command of ten thousand [[Lifeless]], and is one of the Returned who had ~~the~~access to a series of tunnels ~~into~~that connected different palaces, including the [[God ~~King’s~~King]]'s palace. A lockable grate prevents unwanted access to her palace from the tunnels.{{book ref\|wb\|23}}{{wob ref\|7380}}▼ ▲== History == ▲[[Vasher]] broke into Mercystar's palace to investigate the tunnels that she and several other Returned ~~have~~had running underneath their palaces.{{book ref\|wb\|22}} Blushweaver used this incident as an excuse to visit Mercystar with Lightsong.

There would be a good number of them who would turn out just like this—given anything they want, told how important they are, and blessed with a beautiful and perfect body no matter what they eat or how they act. {{~~book~~wob ref\|~~wb\|annotations 23~~6811}} * In the 10th Anniversary leatherbound edition of ''Warbreaker'' Mercystar's colors were changed from yellow/orange and gold to just orange and gold. == Notes == <references /> {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 22:54, 24 July 2020 (UTC)}} ~~{{complete}}~~ {{Warbreaker}}
