While hunting [[Bloody Tan]] in his lair in the town of [[Feltrel]], Lessie and Wax split up. At some point, she is taken, hostage.

As a Kandra of the Third Generation, Paalm excels at creating bodies. Her considerable expertise came from her history of service to the Lord Ruler, time spent crushing entire kingdoms and rebellions for him. She also learned a great deal about Hemalurgy, learning how to grant herself Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities with spikes of an unknown metal. She was proficient with her stolen abilities but seemed to prefer to employ Feruchemical [[steel]]. She knew how to create at least one new kind of Hemalurgic construct using only a single spike in their creation. She was able to hide herself from Harmony's sight by spiking herself with a [[Trellium|material]] that was not of Harmony, but of Trell. {{book ref|mb5|7}}{{book ref|mb5|13}}{{wob ref|7773}}{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}}

* The name "Bleeder" is possibly derived from the doctors of antiquity, who would force patients to bleed profusely, in an effort to purge sickness and disease. This is comparable to Paalm's actions in ''[[Shadows of Self]]'' in which she causes great harm to Wax, and the Basin, to cleanse him and itthem of Harmony's control.
