Rua seems to have
Rua, who is nicknamed Naco by Lopen, plays with him at the war camps where the wounded are being cared for. He is still at the beginning of his consciousness. When Lopen teaches Rua how to make a rude gesture, the spren proceeds to use it indiscriminately, once even growing an extra pair of arms to make a quadruple rude gesture towards the [[Stormfather]] himself.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
Rua travelled with Lopen to [[Akinah]], and even showed himself to [[Rysn]] at one point during the voyage.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} He also helped Lopen detect and keep track of [[Turlm]] when the sailor was washed overboard. For the duration of the storm and until they reached the shore, Rua watched the ocean for and kept track of a shadow, later revealed to be a specialised [[Sleepless]] hordeling, that followed the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' as they approached Akinah{{book ref|sa3.5|11}}, and continued to follow the rowboat they took to shore.{{book ref|sa3.5|13}} Rua was concerned for Lopen when he was injured fighting the specialised hordelings defending Akinah.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}} After the battle, Rua helped Lopen swear his Third Ideal and became a [[Shardblade]] for the first time, including an engraving of Rua making a rude gesture as soon as Lopen considers it.{{book ref|sa3.5|epilogue}}
