Shine Fallstar

Character from The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb

Chade's daughter, raised in ignorance of her father — a spoiled noblewoman thrown into crisis who discovers reserves of courage she didn't know she had.

Shine arrives at Withywoods as a pampered, difficult young woman sent by Chade for protection — and promptly has everything comfortable about her existence destroyed by the Servant attack. Her journey from sheltered noble to survivor is one of the quieter character arcs in the final trilogy, driven by a Fallstar toughness she didn't know she'd inherited. She and Lant share the peculiar bond of being Chade's unacknowledged children, raised apart and brought together by catastrophe.

Appearance

Pretty and well-dressed in the fashion of a Six Duchies noblewoman, with an air of entitlement that gradually gives way to something fiercer as circumstances strip away the comfortable life she knew.

Also known as: Shun, Lady Shine
