== History ==
=== The first attempt ===
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's grandfather was one of the spren who had bonded the [[Knights Radiant]] in the past; however, he was killed, along with many thousand other, in the [[Recreance]]. Despite that, Timbre decided to cross over into the [[Physical Realm]] and form a [[Nahel Bond]], although, taught by that example, she decided to attempt a bond with a [[singer]] rather than a human.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

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}}▼

▲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]].

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}}
When [[Dalinar]] brought Venli into a [[highstorm]] vision to speak with her, Timbre somehow entered it after her. She managed to reach Venli as Odium tore the vision apart, before Dalinar sent them both back out to protect them.{{book ref|sa3|109}} Later, she accompanied Venli at the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], although she remained hidden in her pouch, initially trying to pulse to Peace before growing too scared of Odium to continue.{{book ref|sa3|115}}{{book ref|sa3|118}}
=== Forming a bond ===
After Odium failed to turn Dalinar to his side, Venli snuck away from the battlefield. She began to state the [[Immortal Words#The First Ideal|First Ideal]], but before she could finish it, one of the Fused noticed something happening. Timbre used to moment of confusion as he grabbed Venli's pouch to leap over into Venli's [[gemheart]] and trap the [[voidspren]] residing there. Once the Fused left, having found nothing, Venli retreated to a private ship cabin and drank in [[Stormlight]], proving that Timbre has managed to make her a [[Surgebinder]].{{book ref|sa3|120}}
Afterwards, the two discussed their new bond. Timbre told Venli about her grandfather and her distrust of humans before encouraging her to share the true story of the [[listener]]s with the awakened [[Parshmen]], determined to oppose Odium.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
