Elivet Sedai's Character Summary
          A young and rambunctious Blue sister, Elivet is the only daughter of Saldaean woodsmen, living deep in the forested hills near Tor Abam, the ancestral seat of House Ladzani, with her father and uncles serving as armsmen to Lady Mareda as the need arose. As a girl she exhibited all of the typical Saldaean qualities, including passionate rivalries of her age-mates for the attentions of the young lads of the village and was one such rivalry that spurred her to study in the White Tower. When her fiercest rival, Casanya Vorsadi was sent off to Tar Valon by the village Sage-Woman, Elivet followed suit, determined that Casanya not get the better of her. As a girl she learned the skills of her father and brothers, to track, to move stealthily through thick woods, to hunt, and a fair degree of medicine and healing.

          Upon arriving in Tar Valon after many months journey across the Borderlands, Elivet made her way to the White Tower, and was soon swept up in the demanding lifestyle of a novice, her girlhood rivalry shelved but not forgotten. To this day, however, she still has a deep-seated hatred of Casanya that is not abated. Elivet found herself under the watchful eye of Dianys Mathenos, an Illianer Blue whose reputation for political expertise was known through the courts of the Nations. During her schooling, at some point it was discovered that Elivet can "read" the Pattern, an ability originally thought to akin to Listening to the Wind, only in Elivet's case, she can sense tumultuous events yet to come, wars, riots, even personal tragedies of those around her. She keeps a detailed, yet coded, journal, in the hopes that with the help of the Brown Sisters, she will be able to refine her gift. Still, she felt drawn to the Blue Ajah, enjoying machinations and intricacies of statecraft.

          During her time as Accepted, she became Dianys' protégé and accompanied her on her various missions, which required her to leave the Tower, and it was during one such journey in Illian that she ran afoul of a clandestine sisterhood run by failed Accepted and Wilders. She confessed her discoveries to Dianys, who brought her to the Amyrlin Seat herself upon their return to Tar Valon, with no time even for a change or a bath. And so it came that Elivet was Raised to the Shawl after a brief period of study as Accepted and forced to swear upon the Oath Rod, including a personal Oath made to the Mother regarding her discoveries.

          Elivet is a moderately strong sister, gifted with Fire and Air, an unusual talent for a woman, and she has one warder, a rakish Tairen named Juran Beriago. She is currently stationed in Illian,serving as a regional administrator of the Blue network of eyes and ears, and ostensibly assisting Maina Jarandi, the Blue sister who tends the network for all the nations on the coast of the Sea of Storms.


        Elivet Sedai's Character Description
          Tall and slim-framed, with tilted green eyes, Elivet Carnayar seems to be Saldaean born, with high, soaring cheekbones and a generous mouth. Her nose is aquiline and sharp, a touch too large for beauty, but still she is a lovely young woman, and young enough as an Aes Sedai to lack the strange ageless look her sisters. Her hair is glossy sable, worn loose and long, held off her face by a set of carved ebony barrettes. She wears a simple riding dress of deepest midnight satin, cut in the Saldaean style, with a high, sharp collar and long sleeves, each ended with snowy lace from Cosille. Delicate embroidery in white and pale blue makes a tight band over her bosom and waist, with matching bands at her cuffs. Her skirts are narrow, and stop well short of her ankles, revealing heeled riding boots of shiny black leather. A matching belt is wound loosely about her slender waist, with a silver buckle displaying the Three Fishes of Saldaea, and a set of matching daggers in deep blue sheaths hanging one on each hip. She wears small hoops of silver set with pearls at her ears, and a small silver amulet with bits of sapphire hangs in the hollow of her throat from a wide ribbon of blue velvet, believed by some to be a ter'angreal. A fine cloak of pale blue velvet, lined with black fox is thrown over her shoulders, pinned with a large silver ring and pin. Atop her dark head is a small cap cut from matching velvet, with a jauntily-angled brim and a long hawk's feather.

        Juran Gaidin's Character Description
          Slim yet tensely corded with muscle, Juran Beriago is tall man, with shiny black hair cut sleek, with a small, neatly trimmed beard on his chin and lip. His skin is the color of rich earth, and his eyes seem chips of obsidian set in his handsome face, although his dark countenance is often broken by his good smile, revealing neat white teeth. Juran wears a snug coat of fine Tairen leather, studded with iron, and belted thickly, over short Tairen breeches of deep green wool tucked into laced boots of brown. At his hip hangs a notched sword-breaker balanced by a thick-bladed dirk, with his curved sword hanging on his back, a small hawk worked in the pommel of brass. Steel-backed gauntlets are tucked behind his belt, and a small flat cap of green felt is pulled low over one eye. Over it all he wears the eye-twitching warder cloak, a ceaseless fusion of greys and greens, browns and blues. A bright golden ring gleams at one ear. He moves with a languid grace, almost always on the verge of ferocious action.


        Students and Associates of Elivet Sedai
        • Niune Harada
            A timid young farmers' daughter from outside Fal Dara, Niune arrived in Tar Valon with a party of sisters sent to the Blightborder to inspect the damage wrought by unusually heavy trolloc incursions. The sisters found Niune as one of the few survivors in her village, and brought her with them to the Tower when they discerned she had the inner spark. Elivet has taken in an interest in her training as a novice, and has a maternal interest in her.

        • Ilsena Vochinan
            Bold and boisterous, the Arafellin Ilsena has her sights set on Green, yet remains close friends of Elivet, for they began their period of Acceptance on the same night, although Elivet has outstripped her. They are closely matched in strength, but Ilsena's progress has been hampered by her wild streak that earns her penance after penance, leaving her still as an Accepted. Ilsena has run away twice, but was returned under closely-guarded circumstances.

        • Geria Munin
            A Blue sister, Murandian by birth, Geria is known to frequently return to her homeland, believed to be acting at the behest of the Amyrlin on mysterious errands believed to be intended on solidifying the rule of King Veim do Parhan a'Vohry. Geria is married to her warder, Dacen Hurill. Geria is also a very talented Healer, and works in the White Tower wards to keep her skills sharp. Geria remains close to Elivet for she is envious of her bright future, but keeps that concealed in her heart.

        • Beneice Caldewain
            A giddy, somewhat inconstant Yellow, Beneice has never quite mastered Aes Sedai serenity. Beneice is a well liked and much admired sister, and is beloved by the novices she instructs in the weaves used for simple Healing. She is a good friend of Elivet, stemming from Beneice's positive impressions of her as one of her students.

        • Marewyn Corham
            A robust woman with a warm temperament, Marewyn is from Braem Wood, in Andor, and a close friend of Elivet for they share a fondness for the outdoors, a trait that is odd in a Brown. Marewyn also is fascinated by Elivet's "readings," and is chief among the Browns studying them. Marewyn is notorious among Aes Sedai for her love of ale, and has had many talking-tos about proper decorum.
