Jasnah Kholin

Alethi princess and scholar, openly a heretic, who studies the Voidbringers and the Cognitive Realm.

She later bonds as an Elsecaller, is crowned queen of Alethkar, and grows close to Hoid.

2. In Kharbranth she meets Shallan, Soulcasts a rock into smoke to free Taravangian's granddaughter in exchange for access to the Palanaeum, and at first rejects Shallan's petition. source
