A person who has no shadow is sometimes referred to as a "shadowless person" and is often associated with supernatural or mythical beings in folklore and fiction. It symbolizes a lack of connection to the physical world or a mysterious, otherworldly presence.
The darkest part of a shadow is called the "umbra" The lighter part of a shadow is called the "penumbra" An "antumbra" is the area of light which surrounds the object creating a shadow, as in a "ring of fire" eclipse (like the recent one in May, 2012). It can best be seen when the viewer is beyond the focal point of the umbra, but in line with it.
