'''Timbre''' is a [[lightspren]] from [[Roshar]] who has bonded [[Venli]].{{book ref|sa3|120}}
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
In the [[Physical Realm]], Timbre appears as a ball of light. She's curious and adventurous, venturing out into dangerous situations; however, she's also scared of the [[Everstorm]] and hides in the shadows when it passes. She's determined in her pursuit of a bond with [[Venli]], and often serves as a calming influence on the singer, pulsing to the Rhythm of Peace to push Odium's influence away.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}
 
== History ==
'''Timbre''' is a spren who appears in the physical realm as a ball of light.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} Timbre had started to form a [[Nahel Bond]] with [[Eshonai]] prior to her death. [[Venli]] first encounters the spren after discovering Eshonai's corpse and instinctively hides it from the [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa3|i|3}} Though initially hesitant with forming a bond with the spren, believing that the better sister to bond with had died, Venli starts interacting with her more after she shows she is able to communicate through [[listener]] songs and names it Timbre. After witnessing the confrontation between [[Dalinar Kholin]] and [[Odium]] at the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Venli states the first Ideal of the [[Knights Radiant]] and begins the process of becoming a Knight Radiant.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
 
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Timbre has shown the ability to reside within Venli's gemheart and capture other spren residing there.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Doing so allows Venli to enter and exit forms of power granted by voidspren at will.{{book ref|sa3|121}} It is unclear by what means Timbre does so.
 
Unlike other Radiant spren, Timbre has shown no ability to speak. Rather, she communicates through pulsing to certain Rhythms, which produces audible vibrations.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Venli has been shown several times to gather more information from Timbre's pulsing than simply her mood; it appears as though there is more communication going on between the two.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}
 
She has formed a [[Nahel Bond]] with Venli, a singer -- something previously thought impossible.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Ordinarily, the bond should grant Venli the powers of a [[Willshaper]], letting her use [[Stormlight]] to heal and power [[Surge]]s of [[Transportation]] and [[Cohesion]];{{file ref|TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg|Surgebinding Table}} if and how Venli's species changes this is unknown.
 
== Theories and Speculation ==
{{theory}}
 
Timbre is possibly a [[Lightspren]] and the daughter of [[Ico]]. This can be surmised from Venli, in conversation with Timbre, learninglearns that Timbre's grandfather was a spren killed by the [[Recreance]],{{book ref|sa3|121}} just-- likesomething that also happened to Ico's father. was,Ico andalso by the factremarks that Ico remarks upon his daughter abandoningabandoned her employment at the moneychangers' in [[Celebrant]] "to chase "foolish dreams".{{book ref|sa3|101}}
