History:
Ayende was born in an outlying village outside of Ebou Dar in Altara. She grew up in a family of one brother and four sisters where she was taught from many angles how to be a lady, and how not to be. Because she was the youngest, she was often taken to Ebou Dar itself to meet her siblings friends and purchase her weekly dress. Her brother got in one fight when a young man tried to go too far with Ayende because of her beauty. She was smart when it came to dealing with men and knew where to stop, though sometimes she was not strong enough and that's why she was always with her elder siblings. She loved to read most of all, at a bookstore next to the dressing shop where she ordered her dresses. That is where she first learned that she could channel. She had been flipping through a book on Aes Sedai when it gave a very detailed description on how to embrace saidar. Each time she went there, she would do the exercise and one time, while she was trying it, she embraced the Source. She immediately wanted to become Aes Sedai and bought several books on the Sisters and the White Tower. When word of an Aes Sedai in the nearby in was spreading along the streets, Ayende presented herself to her and the Aes Sedai immediately wanted to bring Ayende to the White Tower because of her strength. Her brother and sisters didn't know what Ayende was up to and started to question where she was going when they brought her to the city. She used to be lively and following their every step, though now, she seemed to slip off unnoticed and meet up with them hours later. When the Aes Sedai finally came to her home to tell her parents she could channel and that she would bring her to Tar Valon, her parents flipped. Nothing would stop Ayende or the Aes Sedai if her parents said no, so she left them, with a straight and keen face to the White Tower without even shedding a tear. She arrived at Tar Valon with the Aes Sedai who brought her, ready to learn and see what she was made of.
