Deylin Nianche

• Full Name - Deylin Siuan Nianche Aes Sedai
• Position - Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah.
• Affiliation - Blue Ajah, White Tower
• Character Summary - A serenely aloof Tairen Blue sister, Deylin Nianche is one of Aloris Cadrille's closest advisors, having been taken into her inner circle of advisors many decades ago. It is oft speculated that Aloris has been grooming her to replace her, should anything befall her, for all that such talk is deeply guarded amongst the Blue Ajah. Deylin Sedai was once the advisor to Queen Malenroe I, of Andor, long ago, and is believed to have tugged the strings of many of the houses of Andor to affect the resolution of the most recent Andoran Succession.
• Nationality - Tairen
• Character Description - Tall, and very slender, Deylin Nianche is a Tairen rarity, with pale flaxen hair, and cobalt-blue eyes. Her hair is long and sleek, gleaming from careful attention, trailing down her back, the ends cut even and straight, and held off her face by a simple band of blue velvet. Her dress is misty pale blue silk, in the Tairen style, with long narrow sleeves and a high collar, embroidered in black thread and glittering beads of jet in the mazelike style of her homeland on her cuffs and hems, and in a doubled band around her waist. A long rope of blue-grey pearls is worn around her neck, down her bodice, and her Great Serpent ring shines brightly on her hand. Deylin Sedai wears a long cloak of dove-grey wool, trimmed with white fox, and embroidered along the edges in silver, making out a border of sinuous fish, leaping and cavorting.
• Associates:
• Aloris Cadrille: an Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah. The reserved and secretive First Counselor of the Blue Ajah, Aloris Cadrille's position is one of the most closely held secrets in the White Tower. Long regarded as one of the most esteemed sisters of the White Tower, she has never held a public position of authority, but still has mastery of Whiter Tower politics, despite her near-cloistered existence. Born to Cairhienin merchants in the town of Selean, along the Silk Path, nearly one hundred and seventy years ago, Aloris was generally assumed, by the Tower at large, to be a rather unexceptional sister, although albeit a very intelligent one. The exact timing of her installation as First Counselor is unknown, but believed to be within the last ten years. Aloris is suitable effective speaker, yet only moderately strong in the Power, and has still managed to attain respect and stature through long years of wise counsel and initiative. Deylin Nianche is one of Aloris Cadrille's closest advisors, having been taken into her inner circle of advisors many decades ago.
