Hesina received a letter from her family talking about new fabrials. Is she related perhaps to someone like Navani?
Brandon Sanderson
See, there's too much wiggle room in that. Yes. But. Not probably as closely as your question is implying.

Are Lirin and Hesina Kaladin's biological parents?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes.

Can you tell me anything about Kaladin's maternal grandparents?
Brandon Sanderson
Let's just say that his mother [Hesina]--you're asking a very astute question--gave up more than most people gave up in that city to go be what she became. She's definitely fallen in social standing since her childhood. She took a hit.
Questioner
Are both of Kaladin's maternal... grandparents darkeyes?
Brandon Sanderson
No. Good question. I think you're the first one to pull that out of me...
There's one question, or two questions in [the signing line], that I know are driving your brains crazy, that are not as clear-cut in my answers as you might assume they are. One is about Kaladin's mother.
AlwaysTheNextOne
Does Kaladin have a mixed heritage. Like maybe Yolish and Rosharan?
Brandon Sanderson
One thing I wanted to be very careful about in writing the Stormlight books is to stray away from people needing some kind of past or heritage to be special—it's okay for this to be for some characters, but it becomes a crutch. So your answer is no, he doesn't have much secret to his heritage. (Though his mother grew up wealthy for a darkeyes, and that's a little odd.)
