Like all Shards,{{wob ref|9082}} Autonomy is able to create avatars -- semi-autonomous entities that wield a portion of Autonomy's power without being wholly separate from Autonomy herself. Autonomy creates two types of avatars. One type are pieces of Autonomy that have been allowed to gain their own sentience, becoming effectively alternate identities of herself. The other are Physical beings that have been granted the use of a portion of Autonomy's power, and becoming a [[Sliver]] of her.{{book ref|mb7|19}}{{book ref|mb7|66}} Physical avatars benefit from becoming Invested, granting them immortality, as well as incredible healing and resilience.{{book ref|mb7|69}} However, they require a [[Connection]] to Autonomy herself in order to benefit from their status as an avatar; interrupting and cutting off that Connection leads them to lose the power.{{book ref|mb7|66}} While they are connected and begin to become a sliver, they also begin to take on Autonomy's intent, similar to full [[Shard]] wielders.{{book ref|mb7|66}}{{book ref|mb7|55}}
Avatars, both made and Invested, can be of any gender, race and species, including fully inhuman ones.{{wob ref|3974}} They are considered to be Shards of Adonalsium, in a way.{{wob ref|8606}} Autonomy can create avatars on different [[Cosmere#Planets|planets]] in the cosmere without physically visiting them.{{wob ref|9385}} Avatars can also form without a direct and conscious decision on Autonomy's part, but she will always be aware of this happening.{{wob ref|13220}}
