Brightness Radiant
A composed Lightwoven persona Shallan sketches and steps into to hold a Shardblade without flinching — a harder, Jasnah-modelled version of her own face, hair in a bun, sleeve rolled back, who prefers not to feel things she has not first thought through. Goes only by her title. SA:OB:Ch 15
Known facts
Events
- SA:OB:Ch 15 Steps out of the bedroom mirror in Shallan's body, hair in a bun, sleeve rolled up, takes the Blade in two hands beside her head, and lets Adolin reposition her hands and feet ten thousand times — slipping back to Shallan when the wonder of him talking about swords becomes worth feeling.
- SA:OB:Ch 121 Takes Jasnah's hand to renew her wardship oath, then is pushed to the back of Shallan's mind.
- SA:OB:Ch 121 Pushes the others toward Adolin as the equitable union.
- SA:OB:Ch 122 Taps the prayer table and approves Adolin as a worthy union.
- SA:RoW:Ch 2 Cracks a joke for the first time — offering to punch Veil in the face if it would speed the kidnapping along.
- SA:RoW:Ch 12 Surfaces briefly at the booth — blonde, straight-backed — to warn Kaladin about Ialai's murder and to confess that half-formed personas wait behind the Three.
- SA:RoW:Ch 13 Takes Shallan's body in the garden — hair blonde under the man's illusion — to ask Mraize the better questions about Nalthis, Scadrial, and the catch in his system.
- SA:RoW:Ch 24 Wakes in the body neither Shallan nor Veil wants to inhabit, sets Beryl and Ishnah to recording observations and Vathah to helping the peakspren crew, then sits with Ialai's journal until Shallan talks her into letting Veil out of punishment.
- SA:RoW:Ch 35 Takes over from Veil when Adolin sprints past, hauls the Radiants and soldiers onto a forced march in pursuit, and leaves Pattern to watch the camp.
- SA:RoW:Ch 36 Sits with Notum after the rescue, manages the soldiers and packout, then begins to consider whether even Pattern might be untrustworthy.
- SA:RoW:Ch 75 Steps in to navigate the impossible planes of Lasting Integrity; presses Pattern for honest answers in the statue garden and gets him to admit lying and using Mraize's cube to spy; is shoved aside by Shallan when Pattern brings the Cryptic deadeye forward; rails uselessly while Shallan stalks Sixteen.
- SA:RoW:Ch 82 Opens the cube argument with Mraize before bleeding away into Veil.
- SA:RoW:Ch 90 Stands against Mraize's plan from the start, and is the persona Veil joins to outvote Shallan.
- SA:RoW:Ch 93 Speaks up at the last moment to confess that she killed Ialai.
- SA:WaT:Ch 65 Takes over the knife fight; later appears in physical form out of glowing mist to seize Mraize from behind.
- SA:WaT:Ch 131 Radiant manifests as unsolidified Stormlight beside Shallan and offers to handle Mraize; Shallan turns the help down, and Radiant withdraws.
- SA:WaT:Ch 138 Kneels across Mraize's body — blond, thicker neck, calm — and tells Shallan she does not need her to kill anymore; squeezes her shoulder, and the two become one.
