▲Shalash has dark skin and long black hair. Her eyes are a faint violet, so faint as to be almost white, and lack epicanthic folds. She is also described as being tall and lean as well as being exceptionally beautiful.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} In recent years, she tends to wear practical clothing over anything particularly feminine. She carries around a thin-bladed sword, though it's not a [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa1|i|7}}
During her time as Baxil's mistress she never wears traditionally female clothing, such as dresses or skirts, preferring instead sleek and tight trousers. She also wears a thin-bladed sword.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}}
 
She dislikes thievery, howeverthough she has no issues with breaking into the dwellings of the rich to destroy art., Hereven if she doesn't want the destruction ofto saidbe arttoo easy. This appears to be a perversion of her divine attribute of "Creative", and may be a symptom of her forsaking of the [[Oathpact. She does not want the destruction to be "too easy". She is also very private and does not appreciate being asked "prying" questions]].{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} Her obsession with destruction isIt's focused on depictions of herself - whenever she sees her own face, whether as a painting, statue or tapestry, she is compelled to destroy it. She seems unable to resist the urge even when pressed for time. She is, however, aware of this, and when doing something important, she actively avoids looking anywhere one may find artwork of the heraldsHeralds.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
 
Shalash appearsis very private and does not appreciate being asked prying questions.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} She seems to be highly regretful of abandoning the [[Oathpact]]. Upon meeting [[Taln]] again, she's extremely apologetic for leaving him behind, and expresses dismay that he doesn't hate her for it.{{book ref|sa3|119}} Despite that, she no longer cares about the fate of [[Roshar]] and its people.{{book ref|sa3|117}} She also seems to have periods of losing touch with reality, as she mentions missing decades, if not centuries of memories.{{book ref|sa3|119}}

== History ==
=== Heraldic Epochs ===
Unlike with the other Heralds, it's uncertain whether Shalash was chosenborn byon [[Ashyn]] or after its people travelled to [[Roshar]], though the former is more likely.{{wob ref|11945}} When the [[ShardDesolation]]s started, she was chosen by [[Honor]] to be one of his Heralds. This relationship was the formation offormed the [[Oathpact]], andwhich as part of itincluded Shalash receivedreceiving one of the [[Honorblade]]s into exchangeaid forher in her serviceduties.{{wobbook ref|2898}}{{wob refsa3|644638}} The precise circumstances of how this came to be isare unknown, but there are stories about [[Proving Day]], during which the would-be Heralds faced difficult, if not impossible, tasks to prove themselves.{{book ref|sa1|5}}▼
;Formation of the Oathpact:
▲Shalash was chosen by the [[Shard]] [[Honor]] to be one of his Heralds. This relationship was the formation of the [[Oathpact]] and as part of it Shalash received one of the [[Honorblade]]s in exchange for her service.{{wob ref|2898}}{{wob ref|6446}} The circumstances of how this came to be is unknown, but there are stories about [[Proving Day]], during which the Heralds faced difficult, if not impossible, tasks to prove themselves.{{book ref|sa1|5}}
 
Following the formation of the Oathpact, Shalash and the other Heralds spent several thousand years helping the people of Roshar fight the [[Voidbringer]]s in battlessubsequent called [[Desolation]]sDesolations. Preceding each Desolation, the Heralds would return to Roshar and have a short time to prepare them for said Desolation, teaching them any necessary technology they may have lost in the intervening time. The level of technology the Heralds returned to varied with each Desolation, in some cases the Rosharans had not progressed past the Stone Age.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}}{{wob ref|1430}} At the end of each Desolation, if Shalash did not "die", she, along with any other surviving Heralds, was required to leave Roshar and return to what[[Braize]]. isThere, believedshe toand the others would be [[Damnation]]tortured orto riskget triggeringthem anotherto give in and return, whereupon a new Desolation would begin.{{wobbook ref|2893sa3|38}}▼
;Cycle of Desolations:
▲Following the formation of the Oathpact, Shalash and the other Heralds spent several thousand years helping the people of Roshar fight the [[Voidbringer]]s in battles called [[Desolation]]s. Preceding each Desolation the Heralds would return to Roshar and have a short time to prepare them for said Desolation, teaching them any necessary technology they may have lost in the intervening time. The level of technology the Heralds returned to varied with each Desolation, in some cases the Rosharans had not progressed past the Stone Age.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}}{{wob ref|1430}} At the end of each Desolation, if Shalash did not "die", she, along with any other surviving Heralds, was required to leave Roshar and return to what is believed to be [[Damnation]] or risk triggering another Desolation.{{wob ref|2893}}
 
It was likely during the Desolations that she met [[Hoid]], who was using the name Midius at the time.{{book ref|sa3|121}}{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}
Between Desolations, Shalash, along with the other Heralds, was tortured in a fiery place that is believed to be [[Damnation]] or [[Braize]]. Presumably, the longer they are able to withstand the torture the longer the interval between Desolations will be.{{book ref|sa1|prelude}}
 
FollowingAt [[Aharietiam]], the "Last" Desolation, Shalash and theall Heralds other Heralds, excludingthan [[TalenelTaln]] -- who hadwas fallendead inat battle,the time -- decided to forsake the Oathpact and abandonedabandon their Honorblades. They were less successful in breaking the Oathpact than they believe.{{wob ref|2898}} They lied to the people of Roshar, telling them they had "won" and went their separate ways.{{book ref|sa1sa|part=prelude}} They were, however, not as successful in their breaking as they'd thought.{{wob ref|2898}}▼
Some time later the [[Knights Radiant]] were founded to help preserve knowledge between Desolations.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}}{{book ref|sa2|63}} Shalash served as the Patron for the Order of Lightweavers.

Roughly four and a half thousand years after Aharietiam, Shalash iswas traveling the world destroying art, in particularany depictions of herself.

=== True Desolation ===
Sometime prior to [[Gawx]] becoming Prime of [[Azir]], she also infiltrates the [[Bronze Palace]] in [[Azimir]] where she defaces a mural of the Heralds, scratching out her face.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
Following the [[Jah Keved]] civil war, at the start of the True Desolation, Ash became a washerwoman under the assumed name Pam to track down a painting of herself by [[Dandos]] Oilsworn. This turned out to be a trap set up by [[Mraize]], who wished to tell her where [[Taln]] was.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}} This set her on the path to [[Thaylen City]], where she arrived just in time for the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]. There, she found Taln.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
 
During the battle, Taln was next to catatonic, requiring Ash to pull him along until [[Dalinar]] managed to open [[Honor's Perpendicularity]], whereupon the two Heralds managed to have a short conversation.{{book ref|sa3|119}} After the battle, with Taln once more uncommunicative, Ash decided to take him to [[Ishar]]. This was, however, not to be, as at the same time, [[Vyre]] managed to kill [[Jezrien]], sending her into deep shock. The resulting commotion made [[Jasnah]], watching the line to the [[Oathgates]], notice them and come to confront them, but Shalash fell unconscious before the two could talk.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
[[Mraize]] attracts Ash with a painting of her, in order to tell her where [[Taln]] is.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}}
She then travels to Thaylenah, where she finds Taln.{{book ref|sa3|117}} They join [[Dalinar]] in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|119}} After the battle, she and Taln begin to leave the city. Shalash immediately feels a hole in herself when [[Moash]] kills Jezrien. While she is reacting to the loss of her father, [[Jasnah]] confronts her and Taln, comparing them to a picture of them. After wondering why [[Midius]] has been giving away pictures of them, she falls unconscious.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

=== LongevityImmortality ===▼
Shalash is a [[Cognitive Shadow]] capable of returning to life, though the exact mechanics of how are unclear. Following every death, she travels to [[Braize]]; whenever she or another Herald give in, she returns to life on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|38}} While alive, she's ageless, and will likely live forever unless killed.{{book ref|sa3|117}} She also appears to have no need of sleep; at the very least, it seems she cannot easily lose consciousness.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

The Surge of Illumination would allow Shalash to create illusions through [[Lightweaving]].
Considering her well-known attributes, it's likely Shalash was once an artist of some sort, or at least artistically inclined.{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} Her hearing is noted as exceptionally good.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} She's also fairly capable of spying and infiltration, as she has no problems mixing herself into a new city or finding her way into a military camp.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} Though her obsession with depictions of herself is compulsive, she be covert about it, breaking into houses and leaving without any trace of her presence other than missing or destroyed art.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}}{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}

In [[Vorinism]], Shalash is known as '''Shalash'Elin''', the Herald of Beauty, though the nickname Ash is also used.{{book ref|sa2|30}} Tradition associates her with the number 6 (shash), the [[Ten Essences|Essence]] of Blood, and the divine attributes of Creative and Honest.{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} Like all other Heralds, she has temples to herself in all major cities.{{book ref|sa3|59}}{{map ref|Kholinar}} There are numerous pieces of artwork devoted to her, and depictions of her can be found decorating even utilitarian items like braziers.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
 
"Ash's eyes" is an extremely common phrase, often used to express shock or surprise.{{book ref|sa1|30}}{{book ref|sa3|38}} "Shalashian temperament" is an idiom with uncertain meaning, though it may refer to being honest or impulsive.{{book ref|sa2|50}} The name [[Shallan]] is derived from Shalash.{{book ref|sa1|30}}
▲=== Longevity ===
Shalash has had her life extended far beyond that of an average human through unknown means. This has allowed her to live through thousands of years of [[Desolation]]s as well as the 4,500 years between Aharietiam and the coming of the Everstorm and potentially beyond.
 
Further west, in [[Emul]] and, likely, other [[Makabak]]i countries, Shalash is known as '''Epan''' and titled the '''Lady of Dreams'''.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} In [[Shinovar]], she's called '''Shush-daughter-God'''.{{book ref|sa3|92}}
