Someone who wasn't familiar with the lore would most likely not think the decorative stones are religious in nature. Someone who is stuck in a rigid colour symbolism mindset of black is evil and white is good might think she is affiliated with evil. Someone with partial knowledge of the lore might be curious and look up what that symbol on her chest is since it is in a prominent location, but would not find a deity using said symbol. Someone who knows a bit about Shar might think about the black circles but they do not have a purple circle around them that I can see so it still may not be obvious.

I still think the extreme basics should be given to the player without any rolls, and then more information given with a Religion check or if your character is a cleric.
