    Thank you! update: I figured out how to do something similar in photoshop - spoiler tagged for length

    "Oh. Yeah. Uh. I can summon cake. Or more accurately, make other things into cake. I'm an Elsecaller; one of the ten orders of the knights Radiant. I feel like I've seen you around here before," Leona said. It was a gamble telling Nym this, but she was pretty sure she had seen her around before. @Aragorn

    @AonEne Can you do a bisexual one?

    "Oh, okay," Leona replied. She noticed Nym looking at the cake. "There's more in the fridge," she said. "Or I can just make you some right now." @Aragorn

    Leona retrieved the cake - angel food cake - and walked over towards Nym. "What's up?" she asked. "Where is everyone?" @Aragorn

    Why does it not surprise me that the most popular response is "read extensively"?

    Leona opened the door to the house, slinging her backpack over one shoulder. "Anybody home? I just got back from school," she called. She walked into the kitchen and set down her bag. Then she went to the fridge to get some cake.

    When one sweatshirt sleeve is slightly longer than the other because you keep pulling it over your left hand.

    Sorry. I worded my post badly. What I meant to say is that the symmetrical names are not the actual names, but ones the Vorin created to fit their ideals/language. Think about "Saint Anthony" in English versus "Santa Antonio" in Spanish. Or any of a million variations on names from any language. People change names all the time so they fit in better with a language. This is especially common with the names of biblical figures - Mary -> Maria, John/Jean/Sean, etc.

    Jezrerien is the shorter form of Jezerezeh (the proper Alethi symmetric form). Nale -> Nalan. Talenel -> Talenelat. Ishar -> Ishi. Vedel -> Vedeledev. Alll of these are canon, IIRC. I think part of the reason for the shortenings is that different languages have different names - like Russian 'Sasha' for the English 'Alexander'. A better example might be 'Anthony' in English and 'Antonio' in Spanish. A lot of the names are unsymmetric intentionally because symmetry is reserved for the heralds - that's why Shallan has an n instead of an 'sh' at the end of her name. The suffixes 'din' 'lin' and 'rin' all mean child of - or at least some thing along those lines. Kaladin's name simplifies to 'Kala' which is near-symmetric. Renarin's name boils down to 'Renar'. Adolin becomes 'ado' which has a suspicious correspondence to an Aon.

    He's a very interesting charecter, but reading him for too long can be depressing, especially book 1 Kal.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know how much those would be worth. I'd think current price +10-15%? Best bet is to probably check Ebay and/or email dragonsteel.

    I didn't know the bit about Hoid! I'll look out for that now.

    In my head, plate looked like iron man armor. Shardblades looked like really big swords. Meat cleavers, but big?

    Flashcards are the key to success.
