Brightness Davar was the first wife of Brightlord Lin Davar and Shallan's birth mother.[1] She died before her husband,[2] who was later remarried to Malise Gevelmar.[3]
History[]
Suspected to be a member of the Ghostbloods, Shallan's mother and a friend attempted to kill Shallan once they'd learned of her potential abilities. When attacked, Shallan, having already spoken Radiant ideals, summoned her Shardblade and killed her mother with it.[2] Thereafter, Shallan's father pretended to have killed his wife to protect Shallan from further 'assassination attempts'. Shallan lost/blocked all memory of this event and only regained it near the end of Words of Radiance.[citation needed]
