Toaster Retribution he/him Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 The fact that Danlan hangs out with Graves points toward her being with the Diagram, but what if she is a Ghostblood. Think about it: 1. Danlan attracts Adolins attention the day after arriving in the warcamps, and he immediately makes her a scribe. She then keeps courting him for a while, probably to prove her worth as a scribe for Dalinar. When she has made herself valuable, she makes sure that Adolin stops courting her. Granted, this only proves that Danlan wants to be Dalinars scribe, and not that she is related to the Ghostbloods. 2. Why would Diagram want a scribe close to Dalinar? Sure, they can spy on him, but Graves already trusts Dalinar, so why spy on him? Who doesnt trust Dalinar though? The Ghostbloods, who presumably dont trust anyone. And who has a history of placing undercover spies in Vorin society? The GBs. 3. Danlan later appears with Graves team. This is where it gets interesting. Mraize does not have a high opinion of Mr T, but likes to watch potential wildcards (he spies on Ialai in OB). Thus, he has Danlan infiltrate Graves team, just like Kabsal infiltrated the Ardents. The fact that Danlan didnt join Graves in OB supports this, in my mind. So, not packed with evidence, but a fun thought? What do you guys think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjl Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Possible but IMO her being either an opportunist that Graves recruited or simply a "standard" member of the diagram remains more likely until we see any more information. Additionally has she had any further appearances since the meeting with Graves; she could have just been a throwaway character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storyspren Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 I have her pegged as a Kandra but GB would also make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may have just been playing hard to get. 5 hours ago, Toaster Retribution said: 2. Why would Diagram want a scribe close to Dalinar?

Also even if you trust someone you still might want to spy on them. 5 hours ago, Toaster Retribution said: 3. Danlan later appears with Graves team. This is where it gets interesting.
