Character Description - Thin and frail, yet stately, Dohaana ti Jhomidaran has the refined serenity of an Aes Sedai long used to receiving deference. With long silver hair, and pale skin seemingly thin as paper tissue, Dohaana Sedai is among the eldest of the sisters of the White Tower. Her once crystal blue eyes are muted by milky cataracts; Dohaana Sedai is blind, and no efforts with the Power can restore her sight. Dohaana wears a long, sweeping gown of soft dove-grey wool, with a high neckline and bell-shaped sleeves, revealing under-sleeves of pale Tuvain lace. Intricate embroidery in scarlet and golden thread, making out the crane of lost Malkier set within ovals of red, rolls in a wide border around her skirts, and in two arrays down her bodice. Dohaana's hair is worn in a high, intricately braided roll at the crown of her head, and tucked under a sheer scarf of transparent white silk. A large necklace of flat red stones, carnelian, linked by yellow gold weighs heavily across her shoulders and neckline. Dohaana wears a long pelisse of white snow lynx over her gown, and carries a cane of carved milkwood, worked in the shape of flowering vines and brambles. A white ki'san is painted in the center of her brow, and the golden sigil of the sisterhood, a serpent biting its own tail, shines on her pale narrow hand.
