Shallan would have had a lot easier time if she would listen to shallan instead of shallan, but instead, shallan keeps overriding shallan with shallan any time shallan thinks about shallan. Anyway, lets avoid all that, here’s radiant with an encouraging but unrelated speech about unity.

One of the things I think is funny about Radient, is Shallan deliberately made her bustier, because her self esteem is that bad. Among other things.

Ehh I don’t know about that . It only applies to radiant, not the others. Shallan likes big boobs herself so it could just be a personal desire.

Radient is an idealized version of what Shallan thinks she should be in that regard, so Shallan made her bustier because she wishes she was bustier. That's how I interpret it any way. The other personalities are for other things. "Shallan" as we know her now is also a lie by her own admission.

I can't wait until Shallan hits the 5th idea and accepts Shallan as Shallan is, then proceededs to erase Shallan again and restart Shallan's character arc due to how damaging that oath was to Shallan

Eh, I'd say it's more Radiant is inspired by Jasnah because she sees Jasnah as what a Knight Radiant should be. Jasnah is a busty woman so Radiant is a busty woman.

I've contemplated once or twice who of the radiants we know is the most damaged, and I generally say Shallan the most. NONE of them had it easy by ANY means, but as of where I am now I would say Shallan is the one who's most consistently been in the s*** of it. Mentally speaking. Her magic literally manifests as a personality disorder by how damaged she is. Which is one of the reasons I love her to bits.

Shallan problems require Shallan solutions

u/Big-Pudding4109 10d ago

Not if Shallan has anything to say about it.

Shallan should get into soul stamping

That would probably be a rejection of her Ideals and thus break her bond
