Cowinde is an Aiel gai'shain held by Melaine.[1] Before being taken gai'shain, she was a Far Dareis Mai. She is past her year and a day in the white of gai'shain, but refuses to resume her rightful place in Aiel society.
Appearance[]
Cowinde has deep blue eyes.[1]
Activities[]
Cowinde was the gai'shain often sent by Melaine and the Wise Ones to fetch Egwene al'Vere when she was an apprentice to the Aiel women.[1][2] Cowinde once served Egwene supper, but found her asleep and alerted the Wise Ones.[3] In an effort to shame Cowinde into putting off the white, Melaine sends her to do useless work, much the same as a da'tsang.[4] Cowinde, along with Doilan and Rodera, serve breakfast in Amys' tent to the Wise Ones.[5] Before Egwene departs for Salidar, she gives Cowinde a note to take to Gawyn Trakand at The Long Man, an inn in Cairhien.[6]
