Appearance and Personality

History
Rua seems to have bonded Lopen during the battle of Thaylen. Lopen said the first oath but did not become a complete radiant. After the battle, while talking to a wounded soldier, he said his second oath and then becomes a full radiant. Rua, who is named 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.[1]
