As a child, Shallan is considered shy, quiet, and delicate, although she has always had a quick wit, and often utters the first retort that comes to mind.{{book ref|sa1|3}}. Her brother [[Balat Davar|Balat]] considers her incapable of handling herself and the family's affairs, having never lived away from the family estates.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} Indeed, Shallan is initially naive and inexperienced, with little concept of money; for example, while trying to remain inconspicuous, she overpays for some street food by two hundred fifty times.{{book ref|sa2|43}} However, when she leaves the family estates behind, she quickly opens up and gains confidence.
Shallan is bisexual.{{tweet ref|780541325301067776|text=This wasn't directly on my mind while writing, but looking back, I think it was in my subconscious.|date=26 September, 2016}}{{ref|group=nb|text=Though there is other, textual evidence for this, it was ambiguous until the referenced tweet, where Brandon explicitly says that while he has written her as bisexual, it was something he had included subconsciously. It may be worth noting that in a followup tweet (https://twitter.com/BrandSanderson/status/780556430453510144) that mentioned it, he did not take the opportunity to correct any potential misunderstanding about his confirmation that Shallan is bisexual.}}
After arriving at the [[Shattered Plains]] and encountering the [[Ghostbloods]], Shallan takes on the identity of Veil. Shallan changes her appearance using Lightweaving to craft a new appearance for Veil. As Veil, Shallan appears as a slightly older darkeyed woman. Although Veil has the same height and build as Shallan, Veil has long, dark hair and an angular face with a scar across the chin.{{book ref|sa2|42}}
