Is Bavadin the woman on top of the White Sand map?

[Sallin Zeras he/him]

Since I opened White Sand for the first time, I couldn´t help but to wonder if the woman on top of the map is Bavadin.

I don't remember Isaac saying anything about this image, just the ones from Stormlight Archive as Yata references.

Ah, looks like it was the wonderful @Botanica who got this one:

Q: Hey Brandon, may I ask if the red-haired woman on the Dayside map is a kind of depiction of one of Bavadin's personas?

A: She is not. Isaac designed that border without any explicit instructions from me, so while he might have an idea of who it is, it isn't someone specifically relevant to large-scale cosmere workings.

This is possible, but maybe it's too  explicit for someone who is so ambigous and honestly we don't even know if Bavadin is Human.

As far as I know you may drawn whatever you want and say "this is bavadin"....you will be probably not far from the truth

Good guess, but no. The woman there is 100% Isaac's creation, so she most likely is there just for artistic value. Brandon spoke about it very recently, you might be able to find the related WoB on the forums.

Also the girl in White Sand ? I think he was only about SA's Charts

The faces in the clouds? No WoBs on this one (other than they are intentional), but some - myself included - believe that those belong to Bavadin.

I seem to recall Brandon saying something about it recently on Reddit, that it was Isaac's interpretation and that Brandon hadn't given him guidance on it. It struck me as very similar to the Stormlight story and now to the Constellations image as well.

I've gotten kind of lost in Brandon's Reddit posts, though, since he's been really active recently.

@ArgentOk, thanks. I'm a little disappointed, but now I also even more curious about who is Bavadin, he/she is in my opinion the most intriguing out of all of the Shards of Adonalsium that we know of so far.
