ABILITIES

Siuan is an extremely strong channeler. She is matched in the One Power by very few sisters of the Aes Sedai, Moiraine being among her equals. She also has the Talent of Foretelling, and is sent visions of the future in her dreams.

Siuan Sanche is an Aes Sedai, and serves as the current Amyrlin Seat.

Siuan was born in a small village in the Fingers of the Dragon, on the outskirts of the City of Tear. She was a fisher girl, raised by her father, Berden Sanche. She began to display the ability to channel, and even though it was against the law for her to remain in Tear, Berden encouraged Siuan to practice channeling outside the village. However, one day, their house was burned down, and the Dragon's Fang was scrawled on the wreckage. Knowing that Siuan could no longer stay, Berden sent her up the River Erinin to Tar Valon on their fishing boat, and father and daughter tearfully said their goodbyes.

Siuan arrived at the White Tower, with little being known of her past, other than she arrived with no family or guardians as just a child. She was good friends with Moiraine Damodred and Alanna Mosvani as a novice and Accepted, also becoming the lover of Moiraine. She showed promise, and was quickly raised to the shawl, choosing the Blue Ajah. Moiraine and Siuan planned to serve out their time as Aes Sedai advisors to various nations before they could choose to retire and live together as lovers. At the end of the Aiel War, the Amyrlin Seat asked Siuan and Moiraine to deliver news about the peace to Gitara Moroso. However, at that very moment, Gitara had a powerful Foretelling about the Dragon's rebirth. Siuan and Moiraine were the only witnesses, and Gitara instructed them to tell no-one else. Following this, the couple agreed that Moiraine would find the Dragon, while Siuan would prepare the Tower for their coming.

For the next ten years, she mastered the intrigue of eyes and ears for the Blue Sitters. When Marith Jaen died, Siuan was chosen to be the next Amyrlin, at an age that was very young in Tower history. She chose Leane Sharif as her Keeper of the Chronicles. Siuan remained the only Aes Sedai who knew of Moiraine's true mission to find the Dragon Reborn before the Dark. The two hid their relationship from the Tower, and it became common belief that the two were in fact adversaries.
