'''Vin''' is a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancer|Mistborn]] from the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]]. She later becomes known as '''Heir to the Survivor''' and the '''Ascendant Warrior''', as well as taking on the alias '''Valette Renoux'''. At least one [[kandra]] believed her to be the '''Mother''' of the kandra people after [[Rashek]]'s death. She was born to [[Tevidian Tekiel]]'s [[Vin's mother|skaa mistress]] in year {{date|1005|FE}} in [[Luthadel]], raised by her half brother [[Reen]] after he discovered that their [[Vin's sister|sister]] had been murdered by their mother. The two lived on the streets and worked in the underground, until eventually coming to work in [[Camon]]'s [[Camon's crew|crew]].
Vin trains in and works with [[Kelsier]]'s [[Kelsier's crew|crew]] after he prevents Camon from beating her to death, infiltrating the nobility under the guise of Valette Renoux, eventually helping to save the survivors of the [[skaa rebellion]]'s army and killing [[Shan Elariel]] before fighting the [[Lord Ruler]] and killing him. After the Collapse, she marries [[Elend Venture]] and sets herself and Elend up as the '''empress''' and emperor of the [[New Empire]] during the [[Siege of Luthadel]], wherein she kills [[Zane]] and [[Straff Venture]], saves the city from rampaging [[koloss]] and forces [[Ashweather Cett|Lord Cett]] to swear his allegiance to them. In the aftermath of the siege, she inadvertently frees [[Ruin]] from it's prison at the [[Well of Ascension]].
==== The Skaa Riots & the Death of the Lord Ruler ====
She is imprisoned in Kredik Shaw after Kelsier's death at the hands of the Lord Ruler, and is forced to burn [[aluminum]] to destroy her metals. She is taken to be questioned by the Lord Ruler, and has her earring ripped out while battling him, allowing the [[mist]]s to invest their power in her, restoring all her Allomantic abilities. Vin kills him by [[iron|pulling]] out his [[metalmind]]s and fatally stabbing him with a spear.
[[TenSoon]] would later argue during his judgement that as the one to kill the Lord Ruler, Vin had effectively taken his place and inherited his title, and should thus be considered the Mother of the kandra to replace their Father.{{book ref|mb3|11}}
=== The Siege of Luthadel ===
After the fall of the [[Final Empire]], she helps Elend establish his ideas for fair and free governance. Whilst the [[Siege of Luthadel]] progresses, she practices her Allomancy, courts [[Zane Venture]], discovers [[duralumin]], befriends the [[kandra]]
==== Zane & the Attack on Keep Hasting ====
