History
The last return
During the last Return, she developed a disease intended to kill all humans on the planet; although it turned out to affect singers as well, she released it anyway. However, It did not work as expected, as only fewer than one in ten humans were killed, and one in a hundred singers.
Relationships
Raboniel is impressed with the scholarly work that Navani has done, and she requests that Navani help her in developing Warlight. with both their efforts they manage to develop not only Warlight, but also Anti-Stormlight and Anti-Voidlight. Raboniel then uses Anti-Voidlight to finally kill her Fused daughter Essu. Later when Raboniel reveals her plan of using Anti-Stormlight to kill the Radiants Spren Navani uses a Fabrial trap to stop Raboniel, and then, with what remains of the weapon Raboniel used to kill her daughter, stabbed Raboniel to attempt and kill her. However, since there wasn't enough Anti-Voidlight Raboniel is left in a weakened state.[3]
When Navani is confronted by Moash Raboniel uses what's left of her strength to latch on to his foot, and then launch herself at him to claw up his body, in order to buy time for Navani to get to the Sibling.[4] Navani later returns and kills Raboniel, treating her with the most respect she can.[5]
