Often she is alert and watchful, having a tendency to perch on things, or sitting in places where she can best monitor her surroundings. Vin is also uncomfortable with having the attention of others, preferring to go hidden and unnoticed. This puts her in an awkward position with the [[Church of the Survivor]], as she displays obvious discomfort as being revered as the Lady Heir.{{book ref|mb2|5}} For this reason, she is also uncomfortable around [[Demoux]]. She prefers to wear simple, practical clothing, and initially finds noble dresses uncomfortable and impractical, which is reflected later after becoming empress of the New Empire when she refuses to wear royal garb in favour of clothing more practical for battle.{{book ref|mb1|12}}{{book ref|mb3|15}}
 
By the time of the siege of Fadrex city, Vin has grown confident and perceptive. She is fully in control, and all of this in tandem makes her seem more powerful than she was before meeting Kelsier.{{msh ref|6|1}}

Her half-brother Reen saved Vin from their mother and after the death of her mother and sister, she lived on the road with
him. At times, she had lived like a beggar, sleeping in exposed alleys.{{book ref|mb3|27}} Reen's lessons and attempts to strengthen her -- like taking her on burglaries to teach her to steal{{book ref|mb1|13}} and teaching her to survive the skaa underground -- were abusive. He beat her for things such as being too friendly with other crewmembers or making a foolish comment and drawing unwanted negative attention{{book ref|mb1|16}}. This abuse had a profound effect on Vin's ability to trust, but was successful in instilling the lessons he believed she needed to learn to survive and work the thieving crews in [[Luthadel]] until he apparently deserted her.{{book ref|mb1|1}}{{book ref|mb1|3}} Vin later discovers that Reen never betrayed her. Despite being captured by Inquisitors and tortured, Reen never gave her up, swearing that she had died even while he was being tortured.{{book ref|mb1|37}}
 
 
 
==== The Well of Ascension ====
She finds the Well of Ascension beneath Kredik Shaw in the aftermath of the battle. Once they enter the Well's chamber, the [[Preservation|mist spirit]] attacks Elend, -- it's hand forced by Kelsier -- fatally stabbing him in the hope that Vin would use the power to save him. BelievingDespite itPreservation's best attempts to beprepare Vin to take up the correctpower, choiceand Kelsier's attempt force her to use it, Vin enters the Well and, encouraged by Ruin's tricks, gives up the power in the belief that it is the best choice, thus inadvertently releasing [[Ruin]] from his prison.

==== Aftermath of the Koloss Assault ====
The crew hold a funeral service for the fallen at Keep Venture. While Demoux speaks at the service, Vin sits on the steps, watched over by Ham. Kelsier attempts to comfort her in the wake of the disastrous release of Ruin, but due to the seperation between the realms, she is unable to hear him.{{msh ref|3|1}}

Upon approaching the next informant, [[Hoid]], for confirmation of Slowswift's information, she hesitates before contacting him and because of Kelsier's desperate attempts from the cognitive realm to keep Vin away from him get through to her, due to her burning bronze. She gets a bad feeling about the situation and leaves. She trusts her instincts and keeps away from Hoid entirely.{{book ref|mb3|27}}{{msh ref|6|1}}
 
Vin briefy scouts the Canton of Resource from outside, then proceeds to the third and final of Cett's informants, but Preservation empowers Kelsier with something similar to Allomancy, so that he can better follow Vin through Fadrex City while she is spying. Her bronze burning picks up on Kelsier trailing her in the cognitive realm, and she believes she is being followed by an enemy Mistborn and attempts to lose him. Ruin interferes upon noticing Kelsier, however, stopping him from pursuing her and sending a puppet of his own making after Vin, imitating the pulses that Kelsier was giving off in order to trick her. Ruin's puppet stops giving chase the moment Vin turns to face it, and she concludes that it must have been the mist spirit.{{book ref|mb3|27}}{{msh ref|6|1}}
 
Vin is captured and imprisoned by Yomen. While imprisoned, Vin is visited by an apparition of Reen, who is later revealed to be [[Ruin]]. After learning about Ruin, she fights [[Marsh]], and escapes back to [[Luthadel]] where she fights the other Inquisitors and destroys the palace in a [[mist]]-powered push, finally able to use the mists after Marsh regains enough control over his body to defy Ruin and remove her earring and Hemalurgic spike.
