== Appearance and Personality ==
Re-Shephir is an oily-black entity capable of taking various different forms, including humanoid, beastly and some that do not mimic living beings.{{book ref|sa3|25}}{{book ref|sa3|29}} She's not entirely cognizant, instead being driven by instinct. Humanity fascinates her; she strives to understand it, although she is mostly drawn to people's violence and pain.{{book ref|sa3|30}} As an expression of this fascination, she recreates acts of murder and assault down to the smallest detail, and shapes her creations after what she observes.{{book ref|sa3|9}}{{book ref|sa3|25}} She is fearful of [[LightweaverOrder of Lightweavers|Lightweavers]]s, having been imprisoned by one in the past. When assaulted directly, she stands her ground and attempts to defend her nest, but flees when it becomes clear that she cannot win.{{book ref|sa3|30}}

Re-Shephir was created sometime during the [[Heraldic Epochs]], or perhaps before then, by [[Odium]]. Though originally, her sole purpose was to sow chaos and unrest among humans through her spawn, she eventually came to be intrigued by mankind, and began to mimic them.{{book ref|sa3|30}} Though it's uncertain whether she remained active between the [[Desolation]]s, the [[Midnight Essence]] she created were a constant threat.{{book ref|sa3|19}} Along with several other [[Unmade]], she was believed to have been destroyed in the [[Aharietiam]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|109}}
 
Unfortunately, that was not the case. At some point before the [[Recreance]], she infiltrated [[Urithiru]], and was subsequently captured and imprisoned by an unknown [[Lightweaver]].{{book ref|sa3|30}} Her appearance caused the inhabitants of the tower considerable distress, as an Unmade entering the most sacred structure on [[Roshar]] cast doubts upon its security.{{epigraph ref|sa3|73}} After Urithiru was abandoned, Re-Shephir eventually broke out of her confinement; however, rather than depart, she chose to remain within the city, and took up residence in one of the chambers near the [[Urithiru gem archive]]. There, she coiled around a column of gemstones.{{book ref|sa3|29}}
 
[[Shallan Davar]] detected her presence within days of entering the tower, albeit she registered it only as a sense of unease that twisted her perception of Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|22}} Re-Shephir, on the other hand, became active almost immediately after the [[Alethkar|Alethi]] arrived. Her first confirmed action was killing [[Vedekar Perel]] in a way that mimicked the murder of [[Torol Sadeas]]{{book ref|sa3|9}} Later, she injured [[Lunamor]] in the same way that Shallan had previously wounded another [[Unkalaki]], Ur. However, moments before the latter incident she accidentally revealed her presence to Shallan when she came out of the shadows to observe her play of [[The Girl Who Looked Up]], mingling with Shallan's illusory audience but not escaping quickly enough when they were dispelled.{{book ref|sa3|25}}
