'''Shallan Davar''' (<small>Alethi pronunciation:</small> [[Wikipedia:Help:IPA|[ʃə·ˈlan dəˈvar]]] [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key|''sha-'''<small>LAN</small>''' da-'''<small>VAR</small>''''']]), also known as '''Veil''' and '''Radiant''', is a [[lighteyed]] [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]] of the [[Knights Radiant]] from [[Jah Keved]]. Shallan is an emerging scholar whose greatest achievement is the discovery of the legendary city [[Urithiru]]. She is also renowned for her extraordinary talent of accurately reproducing even fleeting scenes with photographic accuracy. This ability, however, is affected by the presence of the [[Unmade]].
Hailing from a mid-level noble house in Jah Keved, Shallan lives a sheltered life on her father's estate until the age of seventeen, when she leaves to seek an apprenticeship under Princess [[Jasnah Kholin]] as a scholar. While as an apprentice to Jasnah Kholin, she becomes the causal betrothed of Jasnah's cousin, Prince [[Adolin Kholin]], who she later marries{{book ref|sa3|122}}. She also learns of and shares in Jasnah's quest to stop the mysterious and calamitous [[Voidbringers]].
Ever since childhood, Shallan has shared a bond with the [[Cryptic]] [[Pattern]], allowing her to manifest Pattern as a [[Shardblade]]. Years later, this bond also allows her to access her powers as a [[Surgebinder]]. Eventually, during the [[Battle of Narak]], her bond with Pattern allows her to become the first Lightweaver to be revealed as a Knight Radiant since the Recreance.
