'''Vin''' is a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancy#Mistborn|Mistborn]] from the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]]. She later becomes known as '''Heir to the Survivor''', the '''Ascendant Warrior''' and the '''Lady Mistborn'''{{book ref|mb6|2}}{{book ref|mb6|3}}, as well as taking on the alias '''Valette Renoux'''. She was born to [[Tevidian Tekiel]]'s [[Vin's mother|skaa mistress]] in year {{date|1005|FE}} in [[Luthadel]], and was 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, and infiltrates 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]], respectively, 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 its prison at the [[Well of Ascension]].
Being a Mistborn, Vin has the ability to access and burn all of the Allomantic metals. Vin showed proficiency in using her abilities with even Kelsier mentioning her talent surpassing his own. However due to the limitations of the Final Empire, Vin had no experience burning Nicrosil, Chromium, Cadmium, or Bendalloy. In addition Vin’s natural curiousity and ingenuity allowed for extreme demonstrations of her power. A great example of Vin’s ingenuity is the discovery of Duralumin. Knowing that every pure allomantic metal had a supplementary alloy, Vin contracted metallurgists to develop multiple alloy variations for testing.
 
Vin demonstrated varying proficiencies in her allomantic usage. This is primarily caused by Vin’s predilection toward combat oriented metals, and her being a full [[Allomancy#Mistborn|Mistborn]]. If she could not immediately see how a particular metal could aid in a fight, Vin would often consider them less useful. However for the time period, Vin developed a deep understanding of allomantic theory. She was considered the most powerful Mistborn of her time even with [[Elend Venture]] consuming Lerasium directly, and therefore not suffering a dilution of power from genetic transfer.
 
'''[[Iron]] and [[Steel]]-''' Vin was extremely proficient in the use of both steel and iron. Being able to combine both the aspects of Steelpushes and Ironpulls allowed for far greater mobility and offensive potential when compared to the average Coinshot or Lurcher. Vin’s naturally more powerful allomancy further enhanced her external physical metals, as she was able to match Kelsier in strength when pushing against a coin, despite Kelsier being nearly twice her weight. Vin’s control over steel and iron allowed her to use horseshoes as a means of continued motion.
 
=== 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|mistbornMistborn]]), and Hammond (an accomplished thugThug), Vin has developed a unique set of skill. 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. Though in the case of the sword Vin wielded through the strength granted by pewter and not pure skill.
