=== Early Life ({{Rosharan date/sa|year=1156}}–{{Rosharan date/sa|year=1173}}) ===
==== Early Childhood ====
 
Shallan was born into the [[House Davar|Davar]] household to [[Lin Davar|Lin]] and her [[Shallan's mother|mother]] in mid-{{Rosharan date|1156}}. She was the youngest of five children, with four older brothers: [[Helaran]], [[Balat]], [[Wikim]], and [[Jushu]]. As the Davar household was a mid-level noble family, the patriarch, Lin, held the fourth [[dahn]], while Shallan herself was of the fifth dahn.{{book ref|sa2|52}} The Davar family's estates were located in Highprince [[Valam]]'s territory in [[Jah Keved]], north of [[Valath]].{{book ref|sa2|47}}
 
In some instances, Shallan recalls happy memories from her early childhood--such as a time when her parents loved to tell her stories.{{book ref|sa3|25}} On the other hand, the mysterious dealings of her mother and the attention her family drew from the [[Cryptic]]s suggests a more disquieting family life. By {{Rosharan date|1167}} Shallan's mother had been associating with a certain group of "friends," including a man by the name of [[Dreder]], who would occasionally visit the family's estates.{{book ref|sa2|45}} These people were associated with the [[Skybreakers]] and at least one of their number--with whom Shallan's mother had an intimate relationship-- was a Skybreaker acolyte.{{book ref|sa3|40}}
As a young child, Shallan enjoyed daydreaming while exploring in her family's gardens, which drew the attention of
 
[[Pattern]] was eventually sent by his kind to form a [[Nahel bond]] with Shallan.{{book ref|sa2|13}} Their early interactions with one another took place in the family's gardens, where Shallan would bring her daydreams to life by practicing [[Lightweaving]].{{book ref|sa2|6}}{{book ref|sa2|60}} It is unclear whether these experiences were a means for Shallan to deal with a troubled childhood or simply the play of an imaginative young girl.{{wob ref|8418}}
As a child, Shallan has a happy life with her parents and four brothers; she recalls when [[Lin Davar|her father]] rarely becomes angry.

Lin placed the Shardblade in his strongbox and held Shallan while singing [["Sleep My Baby Dear"]] to soothe her.{{book ref|sa2|10}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}
 
In the months that followed, Shallan began to repress her memories of these events. She did not speak for several months, and would subconsciously sketch scenes of the violence.{{book ref|sa2|19}} Though the Blade naturally vanished, Shallan began to associate it with her "mother's soul" which she believed to have been held in the strongbox for years to come.{{cite}} Her disassociation with the Shardblade in particular caused her bond with Pattern to weaken nearly to the point of nonexistence.{{cite}} Shallan began to associate
Shallan's father protects her by allowing the world to believe that he killed Shallan's mother and her lover. He also takes Pattern and locks him away in his strongbox, although unknown to him, Pattern simply vanished away the instant he closed the door. Meanwhile, Shallan represses the memory of these events, only remembering that she was in the room with her father and two corpses, forgetting that she ever had a Shardblade or that she killed her mother.{{book ref|sa2|10}}{{book ref|sa2|19}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}
 
In order to protect his daughter, Lin Davar allowed rumors to spread that he had murdered his wife and her lover--a secret he would share with few before his own death.{{cite}}
