Sister to Selûne, Shar was described as a beautiful human woman with long, raven-black hair dressed in swirling dark garb. In this guise, her haunting purple eyes have coal black pupils that reflect the primeval void.. When visiting mortals in dreams, her dark hair would move and swirl regardless of gravity or outside forces, such as wind.
The very existence of Shar was paradoxical; the Nightbringer was brought into existence by the creation of the universe, but was the living embodiment of the void, the perfect nothing that existed before she was born. The emptiness that she originally reflected had itself been erased at the start of time, and she longed to return to the ancient calm of nonexistence. By her very nature, Shar was defined by loss, the foolishness of hope, and the basic principle that life was a joke.
The depths of Shar's evil were too extreme to be described by words. She was deeply twisted and perverse, a being of ceaseless, petty hate and envy. She plotted from the shadows to undermine all creation, reveling in the hidden and never to be revealed. Though she was not chaotic herself, like her sister was, Shar nonetheless sought to destroy all order.[6][4] Even her own devoted worshipers were simply pawns in her overarching scheme against everything there ever was and ever would be.
