But the slender woman's appearance did hint at her Ajah. Her dress was plain gray, and stout wool -- Browns seldom thought of clothes as more than decent covering -- and even when she was talking to you, she wore a little frown, as though squinting in thought about something else entirely.

"Anaiya touched her arm again; it seemed a set signal, because once more Janya stopped and blinked." (Elayne; Lord of Chaos, Prologue)
"'Nonsense, nonsense,' Janya exclaimed, waving a slender hand as if to brush away the very idea. 'Every girl who's been chosen can already make three balls of fire at once, and this requires very little more of the Power. There's no danger at all, so long as they're under a sister's supervision, and they always are. I've seen the roster.

"'Even a slim branch is better than no branch when you're drowning,' Janya said. 'I'd rather try than trust to hope until I go under.'" (Janya; CoT, Ch. 19).
"Excepting Janya, every Sitter who had held a chair before the Tower divided had insinuated herself into the negotiations." (Egwene; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 30)
"'If you disapprove of what we do,' Janya went on, as if she had a right to speak before Romanda. 'why do you bring us any sort of proposal?'
'Because the Dragon Reborn, he asked Cadsuane, and Cadsuane, she asked me,' Merise replied. The Dragon Reborn? The tension in the Hall was suddenly palpable, but the woman continued as if she were senseless to it. 'Properly, it is not my proposal. Jahar, speak to them.'"
