Gazheva Orcanyar

• Full Name - Gazheva Teryane Orcanyar Aes Sedai
• Position - Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah.
• Character Summary - Condescending and arrogant, Gazheva was born to Saldaean trappers over a century ago. For reasons known to but a few, she and Calandrin Ibanaad share correspondences and research, and are openly amiable to one another despite disfavor from Gazheva's own Red Ajah.
• Affiliation - Red Ajah, White Tower
• Nationality - Saldaean
• Character Description - Tall and wiry, with dusky skin and intense eyes of black, Gazheva Orcanyar seems a woman in perpetual dissatisfaction. Her dark, smoldering eyes are irritatingly questioning, and her wine colored lips carry the barest hint of a sneer at all times. Her nose is bold and aquiline, her jaw prominent and just shade shy of masculine. Still, she is a handsome woman, and with her height she turns many a head. Her cheeks are unlined and her complexion is clear and elastic, making her seem younger than she might well be, although it is difficult to put an age to her at all.

  Gazheva's dress is dark gray, high waisted and with a prim square neckline, cut from watered silk. Narrow bands of red satin with blackwork stitchery accent her cuffs and hems, with a double row arrayed down her bodice. Fastening studs of silver with bits of red carnelian form a glittering line down her bodice. Her dark hair is a neat spill beneath a sheer veil of white voile that spills down her back, all held down with a silver fillet. A flat necklace of large garnets burns at her throat, and the Great Serpent ring glitters brightly upon her narrow finger. A mantle of costly sables is draped across her finery as protection against the elements.

• Associates:
• Calandrin Ibanaad: an Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah. Respected and dependable, Calandrin Sedai originally hails from a small village in eastern Tarabon, venerated as the local herbwoman and midwife. Only a terrific scandal caused her to flee to Tar Valon, where she was quickly subsumed into the White Tower, fascinated by the prospect of developing her skills. Calandrin is one of the most capable Healers in the Tower, and administers several dispensaries in poorer wards of Tar Valon for those too fearful of entering the White Tower itself, and she has extensive knowledge of the ailments and conditions of pregnant women and infants. She is a decorated heroine of the War of the Two Dragons. Gazheva Sedai and Calandrin Ibanaad share correspondences and research, and are openly amiable to one another despite disfavor from Gazheva's own Red Ajah.
