Atuan Larisett

Author: Estyrien al'Halien

General

Atuan Larisett is an Aes Sedai of the Black Ajah, though she is posing as Yellow (CoT, Prologue).

Pevara, Seaine and the other Sitters hunting the Black Ajah discovered that Atuan was Black Ajah. Talene Minly had been forced to betray her (CoT, Prologue). They kidnapped Atuan and forced her to admit that she was Black Ajah. They also forced her to swear a personal oath of obedience on the oath rod and to reveal the names of the members of her heart (KoD, Prologue).

Atuan wears her dark hair in thin braids, as is the Taraboner fashion. Her face is perfect without being beautiful (KoD, Prologue).
