Like the other young female
Vai doesn’t wear shoes, which causes her feet to be covered with scratches and scrapes despite them being tough from calluses. She appears timid at first when dealing with Kaladin, but he soon realizes she is not timid, just nervous.{{book ref|sa3|17}}▼

As she returned, Kaladin realized they weren’t monsters, just slaves. The comment upset Sah, who confessed that he spends each night clutching his daughter wondering how long they would be trapped in the shadows. He asked Kaladin if he truly understood what it was like watching your family being torn apart and being completely unable to stop it. Sah dropped Kaladin and picked up his daughter, holding her close as he ran to catch up with the others. As Kaladin was pulled along, he inadvertently stepped on Vai’s flower in haste.{{book ref|sa3|17}}▼

===Separation from Sah===
▲When the parshmen and Kaladin approached Revolar, Sah carried Vai on his shoulder so she could have a better view. She held onto some wooden cards, clutching them like another child might carry a favorite stuffed doll. As they walked, Sah told Kaladin that he’d dreamed of the parshmen having their own city and here it was. Kaladin asked if that was what this was all about, conquering the kingdom, destroying humankind. Sah said he didn’t know, but he could not be a slave again and he would not let them take Vai and imprison her.{{book ref|sa3|31}}
Unfortunately, Vai was taken from her father by order of the [[Fused]] when Sah, Khen, and the other singers in their group were sent along with [[Moash]] to fight in the [[Siege of Kholinar]]. This was supposedly a punishment for "harboring" Kaladin as a spy, although in reality the Fused were looking for reasons to conscript more singers into their infantry. Sah was enraged by this development, but had no recourse.{{book ref|sa3|54}} He was ultimately killed in the fighting; Kaladin, who participated in the battle alongside the [[Kholinar Wall Guard]], slumped to his knees upon seeing Sah fall, recalling that all he ever wanted was to protect his daughter.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Vai's whereabouts after being separated from her father are unknown but she is still alive.{{wob ref|15903}}
