'''Vin Venture''' is a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancy|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}}
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]].

=== Allomancy ===
Being a Mistborn, Vin has the ability to access and burn all of the Allomantic metals. She [[snapping|Snapped]] during her difficult birth process, which is one reason why she has great affinity with Allomancy.{{
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]]. 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.
'''[[Electrum]]-''' The “poor man’s atium” Vin uses electrum to fight Steel Inquisitors when it appeared the supply of atium had depleted.

=== Weaknesses ===
Despite Vin's amazing displays of allomancy and melee prowess, she is still extremely small in stature. When deprived of allomantic metals, Vin is left weak and nearly defenseless. When forced to burn aluminum, she was unable to achieve any reasonable resistance against her captors. Additionally, due to her small size, she is very vulnerable in a steelpushing match, and when she tried pushing against Kelsier, he warned her that it could be catastrophic if she did.{{book ref|mb1|9}}
Additionally Vin's friends can be used against her. Her desire to protect them pushes Vin into situations where she is disadvantaged. This is more evident when Elend is concerned. Fearing assassination attempts Vin used pewter and tin to allow her to remain awake for extreme lengths. This could have bordered on pewter dragging had she not been convinced to rest occasionally. The fatigue caused her to naturally be in a weakened state.

For six months after Reen left, Vin continues to work in Camon's crew. Camon, who knew she was an Allomancer, saw her as a
