'''Mik''' is an urchin with a head wound.
'''Mik''' is a child with a head wound in [[Yeddaw]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa2.5|10}}
 
== Appearance and Personality==
[[Lift]] meets him outside [[Tashi's Light Orphanage]] where he is mute and looks to have a head wound. After being taken in by [[Stump|the Stump]] he is slowly healed.{{cite}}
Mik is around ten or eleven years old. He is a large child, larger than [[Lift]].{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} He has a prominent scar on his head that does not appear to be fully healed.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} His head is shaved, and the hair has not grown back on the side of his head around the scar.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}}
 
== History ==
Mik was abandoned by his mother outside of the orphanage.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} Lift noted that he was unresponsive and drooling.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} His mother appeared to be quite upset about leaving him, and [[Wyndle]] was shocked by her actions; Lift speculated that Mik's mother was forced to abandon him because of her inability to tend to his special needs alongside her other children.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} Lift took his hand and tried to speak to him, but he showed no signs of comprehension or any ability to communicate.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} However, when the [[Stump]] saw Mik, she believed that he was faking his injury.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}}
 
The next day, Mik approached Lift looking for food. He was able to tell her his name and speak in short sentence fragments.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}} He seemed confused but asked after his mother. Lift thought he was just having a better day, but the Stump continued to insist that he was faking it.{{book ref|sa2.5|10}} When Lift saw Mik again later in the day, he was able to speak normally and remembered his mother, although his memory of the last few weeks was foggy and he still did not understand why she left him at an orphanage.{{book ref|sa2.5|17}} Lift realized that he had healed at a supernatural rate and assumed it was through her [[Surgebinding]] power known as [[Surgebinding#Progression|Regrowth]]. She was perplexed by the fact that she seemed to be healing his mind, which she believed to be beyond her abilities, and that the healing was happening without her active participation.{{book ref|sa2.5|17}}
 
Mik's mother returned to the orphanage the next day due to her guilt about abandoning him, and he left with her.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}} Mik's case, along with other evidence, led Lift to the conclusion that the Stump was the Surgebinder that had healed Mik. The Stump had also unknowingly healed many other children, leading to her constant skepticism about their injuries.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}}
