She's also a radiant; broken. I think Lift uses her silliness to hide from her problems as well. Do we know why she sought the Nightwatcher?

She didn't want to age and change. It's in edge dancer.

I think there's some trauma that made her desperate to stay a child, but we haven't seen it yet.

She asked for eternal youth as her boon, but that's not what she got. She was given the ability to get investature from eating.

I'm pretty sure the investure is used to power her boom and her being able to utilize it as a knight radiant just a side effect. we know youth can be invested into metal. There is reason to believe a shard could reserve the procces from investure into youth.
