▲'''Shashara''' was one of the [[Five Scholars]]
Shashara's life before she Returned is a mystery. Upon her Return, she was named '''Glorysinger''' by the [[Cult of the Returned]].{{wob ref|6954}} She became one of the Five Scholars. [[Vasher]] indicates that she was one of the more talented [[Awakener]]s in the group. She was instrumental in the creation of the one-Breath [[Awakening#Awakening Commands|Command]] to create Lifeless. Shashara is also the one who discovered how to create a sentient Awakened object of steel, leading to the creation of [[Nightblood]].{{book ref|wb|51}}
She was the sister of [[Denth]]. Vasher and Shashara collaborated on their Awakening work, eventually marrying.{{wob ref|6954}} Shashara and Vasher worked together to create the Command for Nightblood, "Destroy evil."{{book ref|wb|51}}
Nightblood mentions that she argued with Vasher, claiming that he could be a poet or scholar, like a man.{{book ref|sa3|92}}
Shashara drew Nightblood the only time, in battle, during the [[Manywar]].{{wob ref|6954}} While the details of the [[Battle of Twilight Falls]] has yet to be revealed, Vasher found the outcome to be horrifying enough to take action.
Vasher used Nightblood to slay Shashara,{{book ref|wb|29}} his own wife, when it became clear that she was going to reveal to the general populace how to create more sentient swords.{{wob ref|6954}} She had already revealed the Command to create Lifeless from a single Breath, which was a contributing factor in the start of the Manywar.
She has traveled the [[cosmere]] and is considered an early cosmere scholar by those at [[Silverlight]].{{wob ref|1548}}
== Trivia ==
* Shashara was not known to have worn red scarves.{{wob ref|8244}} This strongly implies that she was not the person who inspired the story of [[The Girl Who Looked Up]].
* There is no significance with Shashara's name bearing a close resemblance to [[Shalash]]'s name.{{wob ref|3717}}
