Dunny looks so young that the harshness of bridgeman life seems all the more startling beside his face. There is a bright, unguarded quality to him, and when he sings, his clear tenor seems to lift briefly above the dust and exhaustion.

Known as Baby-faced Dunny, he is one of the young men among Kaladin’s bridgemen, first marked by his youthful face and slight frame. He works alongside the crew, carries a torch, and serves stew, while his pure tenor singing gives him a more buoyant presence than the brutal routine around him suggests. The book leaves his story as a modest but memorable thread in the life of Bridge Four.
Description
Dunny has a notably youthful, baby-faced look and a spindly, slight frame. The text gives no specific hair or eye color, nor detailed facial traits beyond his young appearance. He wears simple bridgeman clothing, including knee-length trousers; in one early description his upper body is bare. His open, boyish presence is heightened by the confidence and clarity of his tenor voice.
