He is smaller than [[Pattern]].{{book ref\|sa4\|26}} In the [[Cognitive Realm]], he has the typical Cryptic appearance of a tall humanoid with stiff robes and changing symbols for a head.{{book ref\|sa4\|22}} He does not speak [[Alethi]] very well and prefers the Cryptic language. His personality is similar to other Cryptics; he does not seem to have a good grasp of human behavior or mannerisms, and he becomes extremely excited by lies.{{book ref\|sa4\|26}} == Attributes and Abilities == Motif can form a [[Nahel bond]] with a human, giving him increased sapience in the [[Physical Realm]]. The bonded partner gains the [[Surgebinding]] powers of the [[Order of Lightweavers]]. He can also be used as a [[Shardblade]].{{book ref\|sa4\|20}} == History == Motif presumably bonded Ishnah at some point after the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]; Ishnah was one of the first members of the [[Unseen Court]]. By around {{Rosharan date\|1175\|4}}, Ishnah had [[Order_of_Lightweavers#Ideals_of_the_Lightweavers\|spoken truths]] that allowed her to manifest Motif as a Shardblade. Motif and his fellow Cryptics all used the name "Pattern" before grudgingly selecting different names for themselves to help the humans identify them.{{book ref\|sa4\|20}} Ishnah and Motif were selected by Shallan as members of the diplomatic mission to [[Lasting Integrity]] sent by the [[coalition of monarchs]]. During the journey through the Cognitive Realm, Motif was usually seen with his fellow Cryptics [[Mosaic]], [[Ornament]], and Pattern. Their unusual behavior sometimes unnerved their human companions.{{book ref\|sa4\|26}} == Notes == <references /> {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 19:24, 1 September 2021 (UTC)}} ~~{{stub}}~~ {{stormlight}} [[Category: Shardblades]] [[es:Motivo]]
