Compassion's empathy extends beyond the living members of her community. She is keenly aware of the responsibility she has to uphold the memory and legacy of deceased Beaconites and includes the memory of their contributions into her decision making.{{book ref|tsm|8}}{{book ref|tsm|11}}{{book ref|tsm|19}}{{book ref|tsm|23}} She also shows aptitude for understanding the motivations of her foes as she is able to predict the [[Cinder King]]'s thinking by understanding his drive to maintain authority.{{book ref|tsm|8}}
 
Compassion worships [[Adonalsium]], whom their people learned of on [[Threnody|Hell]], also called “Hell”,{{book ref|tsm|11}}{{book ref|tsm|12}}{{book ref|tsm|34}} before being led to Canticle by the [[Zellion (Threnody)|first Lodestar]] and believes that it will bless their endeavor to find and open the door to [[Refuge]].{{book ref|tsm|11}}
 
===Sunheart===
As with all Canticleites, Compassion can transfer [[Investiture]] in the form of heat between herself and people or Sunheartssunhearts with whom she has a [[Connection]].{{book ref|tsm|21}}{{book ref|tsm|39}} If she were left in the sun on Canticle, she would presumably leave behind a Sunheartsunheart with at least 200 [[Investiture#Terminology|Breath Equivalent Units]] of Investiture.{{book ref|tsm|12}}{{book ref|tsm|24}}
 
== History ==
 
Compassion was born on Canticle and was later in life named to the Greater Good of the Beaconite community (then under the rule of the Cinder King).{{book ref|tsm|12}} As a member of the Greater Good and thus an elder in the community, Compassion was meant to be one of the next to be turned into a Sunheartsunheart to keep the community afloat.{{book ref|tsm|15}} However, the Greater Good named [[Elegy|Elegy Salvage]] to be Beacon's [[Lodestar]] who ended the tradition of sacrificing the eldest members of the community to pursue instead the [[Sunlit Ones|Sunlit Ones']] [[Refuge]].{{book ref|tsm|8}}{{book ref|tsm|11}}{{book ref|tsm|20}}
 
==After the Rescue==
{{quote|If it pleases you to be contradicted, he would chase us anyway.|Compassion offering a decorous counterpoint to Confidence{{book ref|tsm|8}}}}
===Elegy===
The Greater Good, likely including Compassion, voted to name Elegy to be Beacon's new Lodestar.{{book ref|tsm|20}} Elegy's decision to search for Refuge and end the practice of sacrificing their oldest members to become Sunheartssunhearts saved their lives, as the Greater Good were to be the next sacrifices.{{book ref|tsm|15}}
===Rebeke===
As a citizen of Beacon, Rebeke is under the leadership of Compassion and the Greater Good.{{book ref|tsm|7}} When they meet after the rescue of Elegy from the Cinder King, Compassion consoles her for the loss of her brother Divinity.{{book ref|tsm|8}} While Confidence and Contemplation seek to find a suitable punishment for Rebeke disobeying their explicit orders to not attempt to rescue Elegy, Compassion offers a compromise that her punishment should be to see to the needs of the stranger, Nomad.{{book ref|tsm|11}} Compassion is the first to recognize Rebeke's new status as a Sunlit One and though the Greater Good attempts to hand over leadership to Rebeke, she refuses.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
Zeal works under the Greater Good as a field commander or special ops planner.{{book ref|tsm|19}} Compassion specifically commends Zeal and his team for their willingness to steal the Scadrian authorization key during their rescue mission at Union.{{book ref|tsm|8}}
===Jeffrey Jeffrey===
Jeffrey Jeffrey works under the Greater Good as a city steward or administrator. He has served under many incarnations of the Greater Good providing Beacon with continuity of leadership as the members of the Greater Good are converted into Sunheartssunhearts.{{book ref|tsm|19}}
