Shallan is bisexual.{{tweet ref|780541325301067776|text=This wasn't directly on my mind while writing, but looking back, I think it was in my subconscious.|date=26 September, 2016}}{{ref|group=nb|text=Though there is other, textual evidence for this, it was ambiguous until the referenced tweet, where Brandon explicitly says that while he has written her as bisexual, it was something he had included subconsciously. It may be worth noting that in a followup tweet [https://twitter.com/BrandSanderson/status/780556430453510144] that mentioned it, he did not take the opportunity to correct any potential misunderstanding about his confirmation that Shallan is bisexual.}}
Shallan his speculated to have dissoiative identity disorder (DID), After arriving at the [[Shattered Plains]] and encountering the [[Ghostbloods]], Shallan takes on the identity of Veil. Shallan changes her appearance using Lightweaving to craft a new appearance for Veil. As Veil, Shallan appears as a slightly older darkeyed woman. Although Veil has the same height and build as Shallan, Veil has long, dark hair and an angular face with a scar across the chin.{{book ref|sa2|42}}. Veil's personality is daring and bold, being an accomplished con-artist and spy. She’s willing to scam other people but still needs people to be around. She often drinks and will sometimes drink [[horneater]] lager which is supposedly the strongest drink in all of Roshar. She rarely shows signs of being drunk. After arriving in Urithriu, Shallan developed a third personality, Radiant. Radiant looks mostly like Shallan, but with a bigger bust. Radiant learns sword fighting with Adolin, and is a capable surgebinder. Radiant does not care at all about how other people think of her, and easily dismisses people as stupid. She is similar to [[Jasnah]]. Shallan unfortunately, is sometimes not fully in control, and her other personalities will peak out without her knowing. This is especially common with Veil.
