'''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 that trails a comet-like white streak when it moves around.{{book ref|sa3|i|3}} 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 passesarrives. 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 ==
It's unknown when Timbre crossed over into the [[Physical Realm]]. Shortly before the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], she began attempting to bond with [[Eshonai]]. She made little headway, as the Eshonai was in [[stormform]] at the time and found Timbre's presence annoying, but the spren continued to try.{{book ref|sa2|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}}
 
After Eshonai's death, Timbre remained with her corpse until it was found by a search party led by [[Ulim]]. [[Venli]], one of the members of the group, saw Timbre after stripping off Eshonai's [[Shardplate]], and tried to shoo her away.{{book ref|sa3|i|3}} Timbre, however, was not to be so easily dismissed; she followed Venli and accompanied her as the latter took on the [[envoyform]]. When Venli noticed Timbre's presence, she instinctively hid it from the [[Fused]], believing that they would kill the little spren.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}
 
From then on out, Timbre would accompany Venli everywhere, carried around in Venli's [[sphere]]s pouch and coming out only when there was no-one around to see her.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} Though initially hostile, Venli continued to hide her from the Fused, and eventually gave her the nickname. When the two were on the outskirts of [[Kholinar]], Timbre finally made it clear that she wanted to form a [[Nahel Bond]] with Venli. Venli, however, was hesitant, believing that she could not live up to the high standard set by [[Eshonai]]. It was around that time that Timbre began using the Rhythm of Peace to try and push down [[Odium]]'s influence; she also helped Venli hear the old Rhythms again.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}
 
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}}{{expand}}
