As a Keeper, Tindwyl's vast reserves of knowledge serve her in many ways. She acts as advisor to Elend during her time in Luthadel, training him in leadership -- her area of interest as a Keeper are the biographies of great men of the past. When she and Sazed study the rubbing, she also puts her skills as a scholar to use as they research the Deepness and the Hero of Ages, as well as other texts from that time.

{{quote
|Do you know why I love you, Sazed? [...] Because you never give in. Other men are strong like bricks — firm, unyielding, but if you pound on them long enough, they crack. You. . .you're strong like the wind. Always there, so willing to bend, but never apologetic for the times when you must be firm. I don't think any of your friends understand what a power they had in you.

Tindwyl and Sazed have known each other for years. He was the one to present her with the knowledge of the Keepers, a process involving hours spent in each other's company for months on end, with Sazed reciting things to her while she memorized them. It is likely that Sazed began developing feelings for her during this time.{{bws ref|/annotation-mistborn-2-chapter-thirty-seven/|Well of Ascension Annotation Chapter 37|date=June 26, 2008}} She has conflicting feelings towards Sazed, both admiring him{{book ref|mb2|50}} and growing frustrated by his rebellious actions.{{book ref|mb2|23}} Despite this, after the Collapse she heeds his message and comes to Luthadel, ostensibly to train Elend -- though she also both wished and dreaded to find Sazed there.{{bws ref|/annotation-mistborn-2-chapter-thirty-seven/|Well of Ascension Annotation Chapter 37|date=June 26, 2008}} However, upon his arrival in the city she is disappointed in him for not obeying the Synod's orders.{{book ref|mb2|23}}
After her training of Elend is concluded, she finally asks Sazed to show her the rubbing, and they spend a night studying it together.{{book ref|mb2|36}} The following morning, when she had planned to leave Luthadel, she confesses her admiration for him, before taking his hand and asking him to give her an excuse to stay in the city with him. Shocked, he asks her to remain in the city, and she agrees. This is the beginning of their romantic relationship.{{book ref|mb2|36}} Even though their time together is dominated by their studies, they grow ever closer. When given the chance to leave Luthadel before the battle, Tindwyl refuses, choosing instead to remain with Sazed. They have an argument on the day of the [[Battle of Luthadel]], as Tindwyl is angry at him for sending Vin and Elend, the city's only hope of survival, away. However, it is soon resolved. They embrace and she tells him why she loves him, and that she understands his decision. Immediately after, the wall alarms go off -- the battle is beginning.{{book ref|mb2|50}}
Their relationship ends with Tindwyl's death during the battle. Sazed searches for her body long into the night, finding it near morning and grieving over her loss.{{book ref|mb2|54}}
