'''Current Projects''' (in rough priority order)
*[[Judy Ivans]]:
*[[Sylphrena]] (History Section): Main June/July Objective. Just started work; it looks like the Attributes & Abilities section has gotten a little tangled with the History section, so I'll actually be doing both
▲*[[Sylphrena]] (History Section): Main June/July Objective. Just started work; it looks like the Attributes & Abilities section has gotten a little tangled with the History section, so I'll actually be doing both. I might write a Relationships section too.
*[[M-Bot]]: If no one takes this objective by the time I'm done with Syl, I'll probably grab this one too.
*[[Cognitive Shadow]]: Noticed this on the urgent list and thought I'd put some work into it. Examples section done; will keep working.
=== Adjustment to the Physical Realm & Meeting Kaladin ===
As is usually the case with spren, transitioning from [[Shadesmar]] to the Physical Realm made Sylphrena lose most of her cognitive ability. As a result, she lost almost all of her memories, including the knowledge that she is a honorspren, and acted much like a [[windspren]], which are considered a sort of cousin to honorspren.{{wob ref|4071}} After transitioning, Syl follows Kaladin around during his time in Amaram's army and plays tricks on him by making things stick together, which may have been uses of the Surge of [[Adhesion]].{{book ref|sa1|47}} Proximity to Kaladin slowly returned her memory and intelligence and, just before [[Tvlakv]]'s slave caravan arrives at the [[Shattered Plains]], she regains the ability to talk, though Kaladin was initially hesitant to respond, as he feared she was a sign that he was going insane. During those initial conversations, Syl struggled to understand Kaladin's depression and why humans act certain ways{{book red|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|4
When Kaladin was exhausted after his first bridge run, she called his name and urged him to get up and move.{{book ref|sa1|6}} After a few weeks in Bridge Four, Kaladin's depression grows progressively worse, and Syl misses the old Kaladin who stood up for others. Despite the risk of breaking their nascent bond, she sets out on a journey to try to help Kaladin, though she does not explain her purpose to him and he is terrified of loosing her too.{{book ref|sa1|9}} When she returns, she finds Kaladin at the [[Honor Chasm]], prepared to kill himself by stepping over the edge. Before he can do so, she calls his name and gives him a leaf of blackbane, a deadly poison, because Kaladin had been holding on to such a leaf during his time in the slave caravan and, from her perspective, he has gotten worse since he lost that leaf. The sheer irony of her giving him a deadly poison to make him happy makes Kaladin laugh, and Syl convinces him to help others "one last time" by trying to protect Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa1|11}}
After Kaladin becomes bridgeleader, she is afraid that [[Gaz]] will try to harm Kaladin in retaliation for how Kaladin treats the bridge sergeant.{{book ref|sa1|14}}{{book ref|sa1|17}} She also begins to develop a sense of right and wrong. For example, she is glad when Kaladin pays Gaz as he had previously promised.{{book ref|sa1|17}} As her bond with Kaladin continues to strengthen, she begins to understand concepts like age and death and her cognition advances enough that she views humans as discordant because, unlike spren, they all act differently.{{book ref|sa1|17}} Still, she struggles to understand things that are totally counter to her nature as a honorspren, like why people lie.{{book ref|sa1|21}} When Bridge Four goes out to gether stones for the camp, she leads [[Lunamor]]to knobweed, the sap of which can be used as an antiseptic.
