General

Erith, daughter of Iva daughter of Alar, is a young female Ogier of Stedding Tsofu (TGH, Ch. 35). Her features are more delicate than Loial's, who is her husband-to-be (LoC, Ch. 20). She is shorter than Loial (TGH, Ch. 35), though she tops Rand by nearly a foot and a half (LoC, Ch. 20). Erith has a broad nose, big eyes, a wide mouth, and tufted ears (TGH, Ch. 35). Her eyebrows are shorter than Loial's and her tufts are finer than his (TGH, Ch. 35).

When first introduced, she wore a long green dress and green cloak embroidered with flowers and carried a bunch of silverbell blossoms, appearing to have been gathering them (TGH, Ch. 35). Her voice is lighter than Loial's and described to be "the softer rumble of a smaller bumblebee." (TGH, Ch. 25).
