Rahel

Rahel is a Truthwatcher and a ward of May Aladar on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
=== Appearance ===
Rahel is a young, presumably Alethi woman, around seventeen years old. She has long ombre hair that went from dark brown to light brown.
=== Personality ===
She is uncomfortable with her status as a Truthwatcher and prefers that the public know that she is instead a Edgedancer. While working in the hospital, she would be ashamed that she could not heal Taln’s mind just like she could not heal lost limbs. She would be repeatedly reminded of the horrors of war after having likely never seen war in her life. She is also remarkably brave as she would volunteer to enter the Azish imperial palace in an attempt to reclaim the throne by the deadline and knew that there would be resistance.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
=== Surgebinding ===
Rahel has a Nahel bond with an unnamed mistspren. As such she has access to the Surges of Progression and Illumination. Like all Surgebinders, she has superhuman speed, strength, and healing when holding Stormlight.
==== Progression ====
Rahel is most practiced with this power as she used it throughout the Battle of Azimir as she was their only Radiant that could heal (and the only Radiant period for most of the fight). With this power she can heal others, though she could not heal lost limbs yet; nor could she heal those with damaged minds. Though she has little practice with it, she can also make plants grow with her powers.
==== Illumination ====
Though she is less practiced with it, Rahel has access to the Surge of Illumination. This allows her to make illusions like a Lightweaver.
=== Wardship ===
Rahel is the ward of May Aladar and was a part of Adolin Kholin’s scribing team. As a ward she would have all the abilities of one.
== History ==
Shortly before the Battle of Azimir, Rahel would start to bond an unknown mistspren making her a Truthwatcher and would be trained by Radiant Precilia in healing. She would go to the Azish capital of Azimir to act as a scribe for Adolin with her teacher May Aladar the day the Battle of Azimir began. After May told Adolin about her, Rahel was assigned to be a healer for the battle, where she would stabilize the most direly wounded. Throughout the battle, while she was not needed she would read novels.
On the second day of the battle, she would be visited by Adolin, who was doing a round of the hospital. She would tell him that she had tried to heal Talenel’s mind and would feel guilty that she could not heal him just like she could not heal lost limbs. Adolin would reassure her by telling her that it was her job to keep the most direly wounded alive until other medics could get to them.
A few days later, she would be brought to heal Adolin who had lost a leg after the dead thunderclast, Terushal, had fallen on him.
Two days later as Azimir fell, she was brought to the emperor’s safehouse where she would heal Adolin, who had been the last one fighting the singers.
On the day of the Contest, Rahel joined the group that would enter the palace to try and reclaim the throne and just before they left, she healed Adolin’s stump one last time. While Adolin fought the Fused Abidi in the throne room, she would wait outside the doors waiting for the singers to attack. When Adolin emerged victorious over Abidi, she alongside Noura, who had the Azish Shardblade reclaimed from Abidi, and Jaskkeem, would hold the throne against until the Contest of champions began.
She would presumably survive the battle as the only enemy to enter the throne room was killed before it could do any damage.
