Glasshearts have had the alien inclinations of their original form exposed to celestial light, cleansing their crystal of impurities and aligning their mind and body with celestial grace and spirit. They have lost their connection to the Mother Crystal, but they have gained in its place an open heart and a sense of duty to the free souls of the world, becoming more like the celestials they live with. With time, they even forget the language of the Far Realm they once belonged to, Deep Speech, in favor of the Celestial language.

Surprisingly, most crystalkin without the connection to the Mother Crystal, such as glasshearts, find that they must rest their mind entirely on their own. In other words, glasshearts discover that -- as a creature of mind without the connection to the Mother Crystal -- they can sleep. In fact, they must sleep as regularly as any other creature, or mental fatigue will give them difficulty moving their crystalline bodies.

Most glasshearts, unlike shardminds, are not very emotionally distant or especially logical, and instead tend to be passionate and sociable. Their tendency to adopt a long-term perspective manifests as a fascination with the culture, law, philosophy, religion, and history of the other free-willed races (who are commonly regarded with xenophilic wonder by the glasshearts). Many of them journey to the Material Plane simply to meet the varied people who live there and, if they're lucky, find a way to improve the world.

Regardless of the color crystal a glassheart was once made of, they have been rendered translucent (nearly transparent) and their crystal color has faded to a faint whisper. Their crystal body resembles glass or diamond. It is clear enough that light can pass through it, but images viewed through their bodies are made distorted and unrecognizable by a kaleidoscopic effect. Some glasshearts even produce a prismatic rainbow effect when light shines through their body.

When a glassheart dies, because they are no longer connected to the Mother Crystal, their mind and soul undergo the same processes that any other humanoid faces upon death, potentially being judged by the same celestials and divinities who they once lived around.
