| Re-Shephir, the Midnight Mother, giving birth to abominations with her essence so dark, so terrible, so consuming. She is here! She watches me die!
| [[Death Rattle]] of a [[Darkeyes|darkeyed]] dock-worker, dated Shashabev 1173{{epigraph ref|sa1|58}}

'''Re-Shephir''' is a [[Roshar]]an [[Unmade]], one of nine [[Splinter]]s of [[Odium]].{{wob ref|1672}} She is commonly referred to by the title of the '''Midnight Mother'''.{{epigraph ref|sa1|58}}

Re-Shephir is capable of shapeshifting, including altering her size. She appears to have very little limitations on what form she takes and is unburdened by the biology of the entities she copies, being able squeeze through tiny gaps that no human could fit through even in a humanoid form. This being said, Re-Shephir retains her characteristic uniform, oily-black color regardless of her current shape.{{book ref|sa3|25}}{{book ref|sa3|29}} She seems unable to mimic natural sounds; the only noises she's heard making are alien-sounding screeches when she feels threatened.{{book ref|sa3|30}}
 
She can create entities called [[Midnight Essence]] that look much like her and may be why she is nicknamed the Midnight Mother. The Midnight Essence can take various forms, both humanoid and beastly, but don't appear to share their mother's shapeshifting abilities. Apart from the color and texture, Re-Shephir can make Midnight Essence resemble specific people she has seen - at least in appearance, as there is no indication that she can replicate voices or behavior.{{book ref|sa3|29}} It's unclear whether Re-Shephir can command the Midnight Essence directly; however, her creations are universally hostile to humans and devoted to defending her, and can operate autonomously.{{book ref|sa3|29}}{{book ref|sa1|19}}
 
It's possible that Re-Shephir is capable of forming a [[Nahel bond]] with humans. She seems to have the capability to destroy a [[Knight Radiant]]'s [[spren]] bond and replace it with herself. Whether that would function in the same manner as a proper Nahel bond, or even function at all, is uncertain.{{book ref|sa3|30}}
