Yukiri thinks that Meidani is a jackdaw in swan's feathers, and that a rebel pretending loyalty is a disgusting thing (CoT, Prologue).

Meidani and Bernaile Gelbarn are friends (CoT, Prologue).

Quotes

"That was some years ago. Elaida very properly broke it off when she was raised Accepted. She might have been accused of favoritism if I were in a class she was given to teach." (Meidani to Yukiri about her friendship with Elaida; Crossroads of Twilight, Prologue)

"I did try. Several times. The Keeper...Alviarin always put me off. The Amyrlin was busy, she had appointments, she needed rest. There was always some excuse. I think Elaida just doesn't want to take up a friendship she dropped more than thirty years ago." (Meidani to Yukiri about renewing her friendship with Elaida; Crossroads of Twilight, Prologue)
