Lemai Ambani is an Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah.[1]
History[]
Lemai spent six years as novice and eight as Accepted. She remained loyal to the White Tower during the White Tower schism.
Strength and Abilities[]
Lemai is strong in the One Power, with a strength level of 13(3).[1] She is the strongest among the fifty-one Aes Sedai captured at the Black Tower, with only Desandre Alraed being as strong.[2] In the hierarchy, Lemai is slightly behind Desandre, being referred to her as "second" to her. This is because she spent longer in training.[1]
Activities[]
She was one of Toveine Gazal's group of fifty-one sisters sent by Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan to destroy the Black Tower.[3] They were all captured and bonded involuntarily by the Asha'man.[4] In particular Lemai was bonded by Morly Hardlin.
Elaida abandons the Aes Sedai sent to capture the Black Tower, including Lemai, at Alviarin Freidhen's suggestion.[5]
Gabrelle Brawley convinces Toveine that they must publicly submit themselves to Lemai and Desandre, the two sisters who stand the highest among the captured Aes Sedai; Gabrelle says this is necessary to ensure that the captured Aes Sedai remain united.[2]
Lemai and Desandre initiate orders that all captive sisters must achieve cordial status in the relationships with their captors in a ploy to lull the men into becoming amenable to them.[6]
Toveine deeply dislikes taking orders from them.[6]
As most Aes Sedai in this group it can be guessed that also Lemai was Turned to the Shadow along her Asha'man.
