Due to a life spent on the streets and in the skaa underground, Vin is relatively small and thinks of herself as scrawny.{{book ref|mb1|1}} She has darkblack hair which she kept cut short until she joins the skaa rebellion.
 
She is naturally suspicious of others due to the circumstances of her upbringing, and slow to trust people out of fear of being betrayed. She initially tends to attempt to make herself seem irrelevant or hide when she is uncomfortable or anxious, and prefers solitude to the company of others, because of the belief instilled in her that no one can betray her if she is alone.{{book ref|mb1|1}}
'''[[Gold]]-''' Seeing her past self and alternate versions of what Vin could have been unnerved her to the point that she never wanted to attempt it again.

=== Weapons and Combat ===
In terms of melee combat and weapon skills, Vin was very talented. Having undergone training in combat from both Kelsier (a full [[Allomancy|Mistborn]]), and Hammond (an accomplished Thug), Vin has developed a unique set of skillskills. Primarily using obsidian daggers to prevent Allomantic influence by her opponents, Vin uses various steel pushes and iron pulls to quickly maneuver around the battlefield. Doing so she will often surprise her opponents by striking from unforeseen angles. Vin will often utilize tricks to allow her to position herself for surprise attacks as well. An example of this is pushing her coin pouch away to make it seem as if she was moving in that direction, only to strike from an alternate one. In addition to the use of daggers Vin has been trained in the use of staffs, and even handled a koloss great sword to devastating affect., Thoughthough in the case of the sword Vin wielded through the strength granted by pewter and not pure skill.
 
=== Disguises ===
|She was strong and vulnerable all at once. She was my last master, and my greatest. She had a way of pouring everything of herself into what she did. When she fought, she was the blade. When she loved, she was the kiss. In that regard, she was far more . . . human than any I have known.
