Alanna Mosvani

Alanna Mosvani is an Arafellin who has been an Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah for nearly forty years in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

Description

She is slim and beautiful with long black hair and penetrating dark blue eyes. She is often described as wearing a gray riding dress slashed with green. She is quite shy but has a fiery temper.

Origins

She was born approximately 963 NE in Arafel and was a novice with Sheriam Bayanar when she came to the Tower.

First Encounters

Alanna is first encountered during The Great Hunt, where she is a part of Siuan Sanche's entourage to Fal Dara. When Egwene and Nynaeve are taken back to the White Tower to become Aes Sedai, she gives them several lessons in channelling, although she is unable to break through Nynaeve's block.

Alanna is present during Egwene's test for becoming an Accepted, along with Sheriam Bayanar, Siuan Sanche and Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan. She noticed a strange resonance in the rings during Egwene's test and appears to blame herself for not stopping the test and risking danger to Egwene. She asks Siuan for a penance as a result of this.

Alanna was also one of the Aes Sedai who were responsible for Healing Mat Cauthon from the taint of the Shadar Logoth dagger.

Bonding Rand

In addition to her two Warders, Ihvon and Owein, Alanna has also forcefully Bonded Rand Al'Thor as a Warder when she met him at the Culain's Hound Inn in Caemlyn. Her bond to him, however, cannot be used to compel him to her will, as normal for most Warder bonds.

She also wanted to bond Perrin Aybara, but was warned off by Faile Bashere, who threatened to kill her if she did so.

haring Rand

Rand has also been bonded by Elayne Trakand, Min Farshaw and Aviendha. This had an adverse affect on Alanna, who fainted when the bonding took place.
