Siuan Sanche is and was an Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah. She was born in Tear, and grew up a fisherwoman. She was formerly the Amyrlin Seat, but was deposed by Elaida, stilled, and imprisoned. Her warder Alric died during the White Tower coup.

Early Life

Before she was the Amyrlin seat Siuan was also a very mischievous girl, who had a fondness for pranks. She had an excellent mind, but could not read or write when she came to Tar Valon. However, after learning she was able to teach Novice classes on the Old Tongue. She was raised at the exact same time as her pillow-friend Moiraine Damodred. Once she was raised it was revealed that she had a mind for puzzles and was put in charge of the Ajahs eyes-and-ears.

Deposed

Elaida had been her long time rival and once she learned that she had kept knowledge of the Dragon Reborn secret, she decided that she must be the one to lead and control the Dragon or he would destroy the world. Using some clever politics she legally deposed and stilled Siuan, taking the law to its extreme. Min Farshaw and Laras (Mistress of the Kitchens in the White Tower) helped Siuan and her Keeper Leane Sharif escape out of the cells. Siuan only made it out of Tar Valon by lying (an ability gained by being stilled) about the whereabouts of Elayne Trakand and Egwene al'Vere to Gawyn Trakand, who lets them pass through the gates. As they leave the city, they find Logain Ablar, who joins them after Siuan offers him revenge against the Aes Sedai.

Recent events

Her stilling was healed by Nynaeve and she has rejoined the Blue Ajah. She now runs the eyes-and-ears for Egwene al'Vere, the current Amyrlin Seat.
