![]() Soon she was teaching the Old Tongue to Novice classes. When she first arrived, she could barely read or do the simplest math, but she was an incredibly fast learner. Siuan was born with the spark and was sent to Tar Valon the same day her ability was discovered. In childhood, Siuan was a very mischievous girl who had a fondness for pranks. Two other uncles were street robbers, thugs, and drunkards whose names her father wouldn't even speak in the house. One, Huan, died in a fire while rescuing children. Her mother died while she was still a child her father died sometime during her training at the White Tower (972-978 NE). She was the daughter of a fisherman and had more than one sister. Siuan was born in Tear in 957 NE of humble origins. Siuan revealed also to be very manipulative and excessively secretive. All this qualities were immediately put in service by her fellow Blue Sisters, employing Siuan in the Ajah eyes-and-ears system. Siuan was considered by other Aes Sedai as very smart, very good in administration, clever, intelligent in resolving puzzles, and finding clues. She recovered all of these abilities after she was Healed from being stilled. ![]() To her eyes, a ta’veren person was accompanied by or surrounded by a glow proportional to the strength with which he or she was central to the weaving of the Pattern. She also had the minor Talent of seeing and recognizing ta’veren. Like Chesmal Emry, Siuan knew how to use Healing weaves to kill directly, using saidar to stop the heart. But during the Seanchan attack on the White Tower and later during the Sharan attack on the Aes Sedai camp in Kandor, Siuan saved the lives of many soldiers including Gareth Bryne. ![]() She had a fairly small ability with Healing, not something for which she gave herself much credit. In the Talent of weaving, Siuan was described as among the fastest and most dexterous Sisters in the White Tower. However, after being stilled and Healed, she lost around two-thirds of her strength, putting her at a level of 35(23) and much lower in the chain of command. ![]() With an original strength level of 13(1), Siuan was at the top level in the Aes Sedai hierarchy at the time-the same level as Romanda Cassin, Lelaine Akashi, Moiraine, and Elaida-making her a very high-ranking Aes Sedai and among the most influential sisters in the Tower. She reached nearly her full potential within six to seven years, whereas the average Aes Sedai typically spent 20 years in training and 10 years to reach her full potential. Her eyes could flash fire and bore holes in stone when she wanted them to.Īs both Novice and Accepted, Siuan showed considerable potential and skill. Originally described as more than handsome but less than beautiful after being stilled and Healed by Nynaeve al'Meara, she was said to have lost 20 years from her appearance and many men who saw her considered her quite pretty. She was fair-skinned with blue eyes, a delicate mouth, and dark glossy hair to her shoulders. But her sharp blue eyes brooked no nonsense, and her firm jaw spoke of the determination of the youngest woman ever to be chosen Amyrlin Seat."Īround 5'5", she was nearly a hand taller than her best friend, Moiraine Damodred.
