'''Sja-anat''' is one of the [[Unmade]],{{book ref|sa3|77}} an ancient and terrible [[spren]] of [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|62}} Also known as the '''Taker of Secrets''',{{book ref|sa3|77}} Sja-anat is one of the sapient Unmade, fully self-aware and responsible for her own actions.{{book ref|sa3|98}} Sja-anat is capable of corrupting spren with Odium's Investiture.{{book ref|sa3|77}} Sja-anat has expressed interest in freeing herself from Odium's influence entirely and defecting from his forces.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
== History ==▼
Sja-anat's origin is unknown; thus it is uncertain when she came into being. She was involved in the past [[Desolation]]s,{{book ref|sa3|77}} with her corrupted spren serving as spies on mankind.{{book ref|sa2|4}} In the past when her corrupted spren were seen in a village, the people often fled their homes.{{book ref|sa3|77}} Sja-anat herself was the Unmade most feared by the Radiants.{{epigraph ref|sa3|97}} After [[Aharietiam]], Sja-anat seems to have remained on Roshar, although none of her corrupted spren are known to have been sighted since the Final Desolation. At some point Sja-anat corrupted the true spren [[Glys]].{{book ref|sa3|117}}▼
Following the arrival of the [[Everstorm]] and the beginning of the [[True Desolation]], Sja-anat became active again. She began corrupting spren in and around the area of [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|77}} During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], as a part of a trap for [[Adolin Kholin]], [[Shallan Davar]], [[Kaladin]], and their spren, Sja-anat was forced to touch the spren of the Kholinar [[Oathgate]] to corrupt it.{{book ref|sa3|84}} When Shallan infiltrated the palace in the guise of a messenger, Sja-anat saw her.{{book ref|sa3|63}} Sja-anat attempted to reach out to Shallan and tell her that she was not her enemy while she danced with the [[Cult of Moments]]{{book ref|sa3|74}} and when she infiltrated the revel on the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|78}}▼

| Listen, Radiant. Listen to my plea. Ashertmarn fled on purpose. It is a trap. I was compelled to touch the spren of this device, so it will not function as you wish.▼

During the assault on the [[Kholinar Palace]], Sja-anat spoke to Shallan and revealed to her that the Oathgate had been corrupted and that she was supposed to kill them if they activate the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|84}} When Shallan and her companions decided to activate the Oathgate anyway, Sja-anat promised that she would try not to kill them,{{book ref|sa3|85}} and when the gate was activated they were merely transported to Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|87}}▼
After Shallan and her group were transported in Shadesmar, Sja-anat lied to Odium and told him that corrupting the Oathgate had had an odd effect and that the Radiants had been sent far from the point of transfer.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Despite this lie, Sja-anat believed that Odium still did not trust her. Shortly afterward, Sja-anat sent a corrupted gloryspren to deliver a message to Shallan. It explained the lie that Sja-anat had told Odium, as well as the fact that Odium's servants were pursuing them in Shadesmar. It also revealed that Shallan's deception had worked, and Odium believed her to be an Elsecaller rather than a Lightweaver. At some point the [[Ghostbloods]] became aware of Sja-anat's disloyalty to Odium and sent Shallan orders to either recruit her to their organization or capture her.{{book ref|sa3|122}}▼
== Appearance and Personality ==
{{quote

}}
Sja-anat takes the form of a jet-black{{book ref|sa3|84}} shadow of a person{{book ref|sa3|63}} with white holes in place of eyes.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Sja-anat has only been shown to appear within mirrors, appearing after they change and the normal reflections fade, revealing Sja-anat.{{book ref|sa3|63}} She can also change her appearance to make herself look like someone else, taking the image of a reflection of Shallan in ancient garb for instance.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
Very little is known of Sja-anat's personality. She is very deceptive, able to successfully trick Odium and aid the Radiants behind Odium's back.{{book ref|sa3|97}} She is also independent and earnest; she does not want to be Odium's servant anymore and desperately wants Shallan to believe that she has defected from Odium.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Sja-anat also cares for her children, the spren that she has corrupted, and seems to be attempting to find them a home.{{book ref|sa3|85}}

Sja-anat's touch has the ability to corrupt spren that she comes into contact with.{{book ref|sa3|77}} Sja-anat refers to this process as '''Enlightening'''.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Spren affected by Sja-anat begin to carry the taint of [[Odium]],{{book ref|sa3|116}} and in rare cases can even grant abilities associated with Odium's power,{{book ref|sa3|118}} though the extent of his influence on the affected spren is unknown. Corrupted spren take on noticeably different appearances, typically in coloration and shape,{{book ref|sa3|62}} although in some cases they may take on an appearance entirely different from their original form.{{book ref|sa3|115}}
The lesser spren that Sja-anat corrupts are capable of serving as her spies{{book ref|sa2|4}} or delivering messages for her.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Messages sent from Sja-anat are spoken by the corrupted spren in Sja-anat's voice into the mind of the person to which they are sent. Sja-anat refers to the corrupted spren as her children.{{book ref|sa3|85}} In the past Sja-anat often corrupted lesser spren,{{book ref|sa3|77}}{{book ref|sa2|4}} but she has now displayed the ability to corrupt true spren,{{book ref|sa3|117}} such as spren capable of forming a Nahel bond like Glys, and the spren of the [[Oathgate]].{{book ref|sa3|97}} Corrupted spren do not appear to be particularly dangerous, so it is unknown what impact Odium's influence has on the spren aside from their appearance. They behave differently in [[fabrial]]s than their uncorrupted counterparts.{{wob ref|11659}}
