An Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah. Her Warder is Sarin Hoigan.
Possible Spoilers#
She joined with the Salidar Aes Sedai.
Physical Description#
She is very short. (TFoH,Ch50) (Short enough to make Sarin Hoigan seem tall, she always minded Romanda of a large-eyed sparrow. There was nothing tiny about her powers of observation or her intellect, however. She had been a natural choice for the council the Ajahs created to try keeping an eye on Egwene, and it was certainly no fault of hers that said council had had little or no restraining effect on the woman.) (KoD,Ch23)
