Character Description - Neat and slender, Jeine Marelan is a tall Ghealdanin woman with glossy brown hair and light grey eyes. As a newly raised Aes Sedai, she lacks the ageless appearance of her sister who have worked long with the Power. Jeine wears a simply cut riding dress from pewter colored silk, with a high neckline and long sleeves and the skirts divided. The dress is embroidered in two shades of blue thread around the cuffs and in a band around the hem, making out a vaguely floral pattern, within an interlacing border. Trims of fresh white lace from Aerine curl at Jeine's throat and wrists. Jeine's hair is worn loose, pent back by two small combs of carved ivory, and she wears a large black pearl on a long silver chain. A fine cape of deep grey wool, lined with silver lynx, is worn over her dress, held with a large silver ring and pin. Heeled riding boots of grey sueded leather can be seen beneath her hems, and she wears a well-made beltknife in an unadorned leather sheath on her belt.

Kielle Daranovi:
An old, powerful grey sister, Kielle Daranovi once was a former Keeper to Aizan Masadi, the last Grey, prior to Elsbedhe Bodwell, to wear the stole. She has served as advisors to thrones, as well as emissary to others, and is regarded as one of the most accomplished diplomats in the Tower. She along with many sisters in the grey, was a strident supporter of Elsbedhe Bodwell. In recent years, She was dispatched to Tanchico, to apply pressure on King Beymer of Tarabon to affect peace with King Vadin II of Arad Doman, and cease their squabbling over Almoth Plain. In truth, the plan was to broker a pact that would require the two nations to garrison the town of Falme, under the neutral governance of the White Tower in the hopes that Tar Valon would acquire a port on the Aryth Ocean.

Rosara Carlores:
A young, hot-tempered Grey, Rosara Carlores is odd choice for a staid diplomat.

Rosara and Jeine became friends during their time as novices and Accepted together. She is believed to assist Helina Sedai in administering the Gray's network of Eyes and Ears

Emelyn Collen:
A cerebral, serious-minded Accepted from Andor, Emelyn Collen is noted as being able to force her will on her age-mates while still enjoying friendly relationships - this is a skill that earned the eye of the Grey Ajah. Jeine Marelan has been tasked with seeing to it that she leans towards the Greys come the day. To that end, she has taken her as a secretary and traveling companion.

Celeine Tavolin:
A small wisp of a girl, Celeine Tavolin is a Cairhienin-born novice from Taien, who Jeine has taken an interest in as a student.
