Corienne Damodred, Sword of the Flame









Corienne Damodred grew up in Cairhein as a part of the noble Damodred family. She also grew up in the shadow of Moiraine, Azalyn, and Asymla Sedai, three great women who went to the Tower in Tar Valon. Corienne's mother made an effort of telling the young girl that she was a disgrace for her inablity to be as great as these three women. Her resentment grew for her family and her mother, but not the three Aes Sedai. She had never met them and respected each for their legacies and there ability to turn away from the family.

Corienne's only solace in her childhood was with Daen, a soldier. Daen taught the girl a way to feel better about herself through swordplay and weapon forms. Corienne took to it like a fish to water and learned with a focused mind. She put all of her unwanted emotional energy into the positive force of learning her weapon.

On her sixteenth namingday, Corienne's mother found out about the sword lessons and fired Daen and sent him away. Corienne was furious. She denounced her mother and packed her bags to leave. Her mother had her imprisoned for her supposed insolence. One of the guards that Corienne practiced with helped her escape.

Now Corienne, like the three before her, has come to the Tower to train, but not as Aes Sedai. Corienne wished to be a warder. She became Warder in a relatively short time period and quickly was bonded by the Amyrlin.
