Valinde Nathenos is an Illianer Aes Sedai of the White Ajah.[1] Like most Whites, she has no Warder.
Appearance[]
Valinde is described as stout.[2]
Strength and Abilities[]
Valinde is very weak in the One Power with a strength level of 33(21). She was by far the weakest among the Salidar Embassy to the Dragon Reborn and the only one unable to Travel without linking with another Aes Sedai.
History[]
We have no history for Valinde except that she was born in Illian and that she does not have a Warder. No date of birth or training times were included in the Companion for this character, the only member of the Embassy about which we have no such details.
Activities[]
She has joined the Salidar Aes Sedai and was a part of the embassy sent from Salidar to Rand al'Thor in Caemlyn.[3] While in Caemlyn, she stays at an inn called The Crown of Roses.[4]
According to Min, she was very eager to have Rand drive Sammael out of Illian. Min believes that a promise from Rand to try would have convinced Valinde to swear fealty to him - though Melaine scoffed at that idea.
She is part of the group of Aes Sedai who demand that Rand lift the restrictions he had placed on them. When he refuses, the Aes Sedai leave in a huff.[2]
After the delegation is dissolved, she escorts all the Two Rivers girls wanting to become novices back to Salidar.[2]
She tended to side with Romanda Cassin.
