Miriana Tetsobar

• Full Name - Miriana Ailena Tetsobar Aes Sedai
• Position - Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah.
• Affiliation - Green Ajah, White Tower
• Character Summary - Miriana Tetsobar was raised in the Rahad, that seedy, violent district of Ebou Dar among a large, extended family of fishermen and sailors. Miriana was raised illiterate, but was apprenticed to the local Wise Woman as a girl. It turns to be that Miriana was a wilder, and became dangerously ill as she experienced her first, unconscious attempts at channeling, so much so that the Wise Woman whom she served, Osana Garzani, revealed herself as a failed Accepted and accompanied Miriana all the way to Tar Valon, and gained Miriana entrance in the Tower. Osana sought out one of her favored teachers, Rigan a'Vorhan of the Green Ajah, despite the general condescension from the Aes Sedai, and pleaded with Rigan Sedai to cast a protective wing over Miriana.

  Miriana was enrolled as a novice, and soon learned to channel properly, and passed through her studies as a novice briskly, as she did in time as an Accepted, although she was often seen stalking the halls of the Tower with a bar of soap jutting from her mouth, punishment from the Mistress of Novices for her salty tongue. When she was raised, she chose Green, and early into her career, she was assigned to travel the capitals of the Borderlands as a courier for the Amyrlin Seat. She selected as her first warder the Andorman Thed Blackfield, who was a student in the Warder Academy. In fact, although they are closed-mouthed about it, the Green sisters suspect that Thed and Miriana were married in secret. In Shol Arbella, she encountered her second warder, Vinar Nirvallin, a Malkieri warrior. In time, she returned to Tar Valon and resumed residence with her two warders in the White Tower. Her period in Tar Valon came to an end when she was dispatched on an errand, Sealed to the Flame, to Cantorin in the Sea of Storms. There, in that balmy island-colony of the Aithan a'Miere, Miriana acquired her last warder, Riman din Amatar Black Star, the son of a high ranking Shipmistress.

  In recent years, Miriana has resided in Illian, assigned to serve her mentor, Rigan a'Vorhan as she was to take the Council of Nine in hand to effect the Concordat of Illian. After the signing of that important treaty, Miriana remained as an informal advisor to the Tairen Ambassador, High Lord Alesean of House Daniago.

  Miriana's demeanor and vocabulary reflect her upbringing, as she is prone to vitriolic outbursts of profanity, even if she is well regarded for her keen mind, particularly with respect to tactics and strategy. Indeed, it is believed that she is being groomed for a high position within the Green Ajah. Miriana has manifested a fine gift for working with weather, believed to have something to do with her time among the Sea Folk, and she is considered quite capable in the Power.

• Nationality - Altaran
• Character Description - Sultry, full-bodied, and not tall, Miriana Tetsobar has the olive complexion and black eyes of an Altaran. Her face is a study of classically proportioned features, high cheekbones, narrow patrician nose and large, lucid eyes which are animated with a crackling vitality. Her lips are soft and wine-colored, and may be compressed into a tight line of disapproval or open in a throaty laugh, with nary any warning between. Miriana's gleaming hair, black as pitch, is clipped short at her collar, a sleek style suited to the heat of Ebou Dar. Her trim, tailored riding habit is lush, emerald satin, with a deep, narrow neckline edged in frothy lace from Aerine, and embroidered in slanting lines of gold across the bodice. The skirts are a shade darker, banded about the hems with a decorative border of golden braid. Miriana wears a close fitting collar about her throat, from which her marriage knife would hang, and mid-sized golden hoops at her ears. Her Great Serpent ring glistens on her left hand. About her waist is a narrow belt of black leather, hung with purse and pouch, with a gilded poniard on each hip. Polished riding boots reveal themselves from beneath the narrow skirts, replete with small golden spurs fashioned into small heads of trout. A soft cloak of fine linen, green as summer grass, is tossed over her shoulders, clasped by a broach worked in the shape of a leaping swordfish, wrought in beaten gold.
• Associates:
• Thed Blackfield: Thed is an unpretentious man with simple ways and manner, but with a complex mind and ferocious aspect in battle. He is believed to be wed to Miriana Sedai, although he is often dispatched to travel in advance of her. He is trained in the Way of the Star.
• Vinar Nirvallin: A tall Malkieri, Vinar is a survivor of that lost nation, and was consumed with avenging its loss. Miriana took him as a warder as a way of realigning his thirst of justice into the wider war against the Shadow. Solemn and saturnine, Vinar bears himself with a code of honor that most philosophers would envy.
• Riman din Amatar Black Star: Miriana's newest warder. A man of the Sea Folk, Riman is handsome and courtly. Riman bonded him as a warder as a means of allowing him to escape an unwanted marriage arranged by his clan. In return, he serves as Miriana's right hand. They are believed to be lovers, which one would assume would impact her beleived marriage to Thed Blackfield, although the natures of a sister's relationships with her gaidin are always opaque.
• Meiram Terovani & Chanai Terovani: A pair of twin sisters, sixteen years of age, Meiram and Chanai are both novices of the White Tower, brought to the Tower by Miriana when she discovered them in Isarte's Hills in Arafel. Miriana has taken interest in their schooling. They are both blocked wilders, each unable to embrace the One Power outside the presence of the other.
• Ekatrine Sorison: A rebellious, testy Accepted, the Murandian Ekatrine was born in Mindea and prides herself on her temper, so much so that the Mistress of Novices despairs of her ability to attain the necessary composure of an Aes Sedai. Nevertheless, Miriana has taken her on as a protégé and she serves as a secretary and traveling companion.
