Bleeder (Mistborn)

== Summary ==
This profile contains spoilers for the book, Shadows of Self.  Proceed with caution.
Bleeder, originally named Paalm as a member of the Kandra, is a shape-shifting terrorist who had defected from being an agent of Harmony and vowed to end his control over the world of mortals. She is one of the oldest and most experienced Kandra, second only to TenSoon, having served as the Lord Ruler's personal agent in terms of slaughtering rebellions and enemies through her ability to change faces and bodies through consuming bones.
After Harmony's ascension, she flipped to fanatically following him, looking for more tasks to accomplish under a new master. However, she eventually removed one of her Hemalurgic spikes, freeing her from the influence of God while consequently making her insane. She would later ally with the terrorist group, the Set, in terms of bringing down the governing body of the city of Elendel.
Spoilers
In reality, Paalm was sent to Waxillium Ladrian as an agent of Harmony, with her duty to protect him so that he could serve the God in his later years of life. She did this under the guise of Lessie, who fell in love with and married Wax, and also feigned death at his hands when taken hostage by Bloody Tan. After she had removed herself from harmony's influence, she also vowed to free Wax from Him as well by putting him through the events of the second novel.

Hemalurgy allows her to splice a portion of person's spiritweb unto her own, potentially stealing different physical/mental/spiritual traits from them, which has granted her the ability to increase her speed (Requires "storing" of these attribute first) and Metal Manipulation (Can Push any metal away her), although she could theoretically have any Allomantic or Feurochemic power
Attack Potency: At least Wall level (Experienced Kandra such as TenSoon can replicate full Koloss bodies, and she is easily stronger than Wax), likely higher
Speed: Peak Human to Superhuman with shapeshifting (Kandra are physically superior to human beings. She can shapeshift into animals depending on what bones she has access to, which can move at these speeds), Supersonic with Steel Feurochemy and enough stored speed (Was perceived as moving normally from the perspective of a speed bubbleShadows of Self, p. 263, which speeds time up enough to perceive explosions as "slow-moving"Alloy of Law, p. 182.

If her remaining spike is removed, she would turn into a mindless Mistwraith. While using Steel Feurochemy, she is limited by air friction at higher speeds.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Allomancy: An Allomancer can use ("burn") ingested metals to gain special powers. The amount of resultant power depends on allomantic power and purity of metal used. List of Allomantic powers
*Feruchemy: A Feruchemist can use metals to store particular attributes in metal, somewhat like a battery - metalmind. The larger the piece of metal is, the more of that particular attribute can be stored. A Feruchemist can draw upon their metals in increased qualities, but the faster they do this, the lesser returns they receive. Only the Feruchemist who stored those attributes can draw upon them later, however. List of Feruchemic powers
*Hemalurgy: An ability to transfer allomantic or feruchemical power from one person to another by death of former. Allows to create Hemalurgic Constructs such as Steel Inquisitors, Koloss or Kandra. It can be used to increase the effects of already obtained allomantic or feruchemical power. However, Bleeder can only use one Allomantic/Feurochemical abilitiy at a time. List of Hemalurgic powers
*Kandra Physiology: Bleeder is a Kandra, an immortal hemalurgic construct which takes the form of a mass of flesh that can attach to bones and replicate the animal/human they originally belonged to. While this process typically takes days, experienced Kandra such as her and TenSoon can do it under a minute. Kandra is also biologically immortal, and can regenerate from gunshot wounds to the head, as well as being blasted apart. It was previously thought that Kandra were impossible to properly kill, however several discovered a method to commit suicide, and removing their hemalurgic spikes will return them to their original Mistwraith forms.
