Character from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
Wax's sister and Set conspirator — a woman who chose power over family and plays the victim while engineering her brother's downfall.
Telsin Ladrian is Wax's sister and a secret member of the Set. She presents herself as a helpless captive when Wax encounters her, playing on his protective instincts and family loyalty. In reality, Telsin is a willing and ambitious conspirator who has been working with their uncle Suit against Wax and against Elendel's interests. She is pragmatic and ruthless in ways that mirror Suit's calculating nature, having chosen power over family long before Wax ever learned the truth. Deceptive, ambitious, pragmatic. Skilled actress who can project vulnerability on command. Chose the Set's vision of power willingly, not through coercion. Sees Wax's heroism as naive. Cold beneath the performance.
Ladrian family features — shares enough resemblance with Wax to be clearly his sister. Presents as disheveled and frightened when playing captive, polished and sharp when the mask drops.
