Her first confirmed action was killing [[Vedekar Perel]] in a way that mimicked the murder of [[Torol Sadeas]]{{book ref|sa3|9}} Later, she injured [[Lunamor]] in the same way that Shallan had previously wounded another [[Unkalaki]], Ur. However, moments before the latter incident she accidentally revealed her presence to Shallan when she came out of the shadows to observe her play of [[The Girl Who Looked Up]], mingling with Shallan's illusory audience but not escaping quickly enough when they were dispelled.{{book ref|sa3|25}}
