Anandrin ibn Muzadaar:
A senior White sister, born of Tarabonner nobility, Anandrin Sedai is a woman of much influence in the Tower, for she is widely acknowledged as a brilliant reasoner of impeccable logic. In addition to the classes she teaches, Anandrin Sedai spends her time translating philosphical treatises and texts from the Old Tongue into Common.
See Anandrin Sedai's Description -
Ethaine Greentree:
A young sister from Andor, Ethaine is a close friend of Simoene, and rather excitable for a White. Ethaine is notorious for her sulks and tantrums, and in her time as an Accepted, spent many months at Tower owned farms as punishments. Ethaine is beleived to be the daughter of a failed Accepted, but she will not speak of it.
See Ethaine Sedai's Description
- Lirelle Devora:
A strapping, athletic Altaran, Lirelle is in her third year of Acceptance, and is beleived to be drawn to the White Ajah, a choice that some find odd for she is a young woman of energy and ambition, and far too likely to argue. She serves as Simoene's secretary and travelling companion. - Perseinde's White Ajah Page

Aes Sedai of the White Ajah
Simoene Alvaewhin is the youngest daughter of Master Coelen Alvaewhin, a scribe and scholar in Cairhien, and his wife Teriese. Simoene's childhood was a happy one, in her parents rambling yet meticulously ordered house in Cairhien. Her father was a scholar in service to many houses of the wealthy, tutoring the children of such households in the Old Tongue as well as in the sciences of logic and reasoned debate. Simoene was schooled beside her brother Eindrid who was destined for a career in the courts at the King's Bench. Simoene eagerly assisted her father in his works, in turn becoming something of a secretary to him.
-
When Simoene
was thirteen she accompanied her father on a country jaunt with the callow
sons of the merchant House of the Red Lily and it was there that she was
accosted by several of the young men, drunk and arrogant, assuming that she
would hold her tongue to ensure her father's continuing employment and
threatened to have him ruined if she spoke up. Torn between exposing them and
preserving her father's livelihood, Simoene fled with naught but a purse of
silver and the fine mare of one of her father's pupils. Having nowhere to
turn, she rode straight to Caisenhel, a small river-town on the Erindrelle.
She sold her horse in exchange for passage on a ship headed to Tar Valon, and
it was there that she encounted Suraya Ashalde, an Aes Sedai of the White Ajah
who took an interest in Simoene and suggested that she enroll as a novice
upon her arrival. Simoene had not the spark, but decided that she would try
to learn. Suraya's descriptions of a serene life of contemplation and study
appealed to Simoene so it came to pass that she did write her name in the
novice book and applied herself.
-
Simoene was
fortunate. She was revealed as having the capacity to learn to channel, and
spent the next four years as a diligent novice, and in turn Accepted upon her
passing the tests on her seventeenth naming day. As an Accepted she became
Suraya's protégé and secretary, and often worked closely with Jirainya Tansaya,
the elderly White believed to head the White Ajah as 'First Reasoner,' and it is believed that
Jirainya came to place the secret legacy of the White Ajah in Simoene's hands
while she was attending Jirainya Sedai on her deathbed.
-
Ultimately,
Simoene was deemed ready for her Raising to the Shawl, and to the surprise of
no one, chose the White Ajah. Since her raising, while she was short of her
twenty-fifth naming day, she has traveled extensively, collecting artifacts
and interviewing scholars in the Great Cities, activities that seem to earn
her the derision of her more stationary White sisters, even as it brings her
into the confidences of many Browns. She chose a warder, as it was logical to
gain an armed protector as she travels, a Tairen named Estivan Espones. Estivan Gaidin has a pathological hatred of all things Illianer, and Simoene is teaching him to overcome his predispositions through the light of reason.

Simeone is a middling-to-high rated channeler, with her greatest strength in Water and
Sprit. She is currently stationed in Caemlyn at the Amyrlin's direction to
work on some task Sealed to the Flame. She is
accompanied by Anandrin ibn Muzadaar and Ethaine Greentree, sisters of the
White Ajah and Lirelle Devora, an Accepted whom Simoene has adopted as a protégé of her own.
