Alanna Mosvani. An Arafellin Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah and the rebel contingent, with a strength level of 17(5). Born in 951 NE, she went to the White Tower in 967 NE. After six years as a novice and six years as Accepted, she was raised to the shawl in 979 NE. She had three Warders: Owein, who was killed by the Whitecloaks in the Two Rivers; Ihvon; and Rand al’Thor, whom she bonded against his will. She was 5'4½" tall, and beautiful and slender, with long black hair and penetrating dark eyes. She was proud and fiery, with a mercurial temper and sense of humor; she could flash from one to the other. Alanna went with Siuan to Fal Dara. She assisted in Healing Mat of his connection to the Shadar Logoth dagger; she had some Healing ability, but not great. She went to the Two Rivers with Verin, hunting young women who could be taught to channel, and helped with the defense of the Two Rivers, then with Verin and those young women went to Caemlyn, where they met Rand. Alanna bonded Rand as a Warder, catching him by surprise and not asking his consent. Because this bonding against his will was akin to rape in the Aes Sedai view, she walked very small among those who knew. Most of those treated her fairly roughly, with little respect. In many ways, with many sisters, this negated her standing in the social hierarchy; even the lowest felt free to be rough on her, and because Alanna was Aes Sedai, with all the Aes Sedai beliefs, she found herself hard-pressed to fight back except occasionally. After bonding Rand, she began to work with the Salidar embassy under Merana, but was disapproving of the rebellion despite her strong dislike of Elaida. She followed after Rand when he went to Caemlyn and was forced to swear fealty to him after Dumai’s Wells. She fell unconscious when Rand was bonded by Min, Elayne and Aviendha. Rand sent her off to pick up Rafela, Merana and others in Cairhien and proceed to Haddon Mirk in Tear to try talking the rebels there into an agreement. Upon receiving a letter from Verin, Alanna fled north. She was captured, injured and held at Shayol Ghul; Nynaeve healed her enough that she could release the bond before she was killed by Moridin.
