Elayne Trakand

Tall for a woman, and as beautiful as Egwene. A perfect oval face framed by a mass of red-gold sunburst curls of spun gold hair. Full red lips like plump love apples and very blue eyes, like sapphires. Straight back, with supple and strong limbs. Her skin is smoother than finest silk. Fine and well-rounded bosom.

Self possesed and lofty attitude, she expects to be obeyed. Sometimes given to hawtyness and swearing. She actually works at increasing her swearing vocabulary. Practical and to the point with both feet on the ground and few flights of fancy, just like her mother.

Born of Morgase Trakand and Taringail Damodred. Taringail died a few years later. She had, for a time, Thom as a father figure. When he left, she was raised totally by Morgase and Lini, her nurse. She was raised to be the ruler of Andor, understanding the citizens and what they need.

She first met Rand when he fell into the palace garden. She fell in love with him immediately, but would have to wait awhile. She was born with the spark of channeling in her and went to the tower to become Aes Sedai. There she became friends with Egwene, Nynaeve and Min.
