Renaile din Calon Blue Star
General
Renaile was the Windfinder to Nesta din Reas (ACoS, Ch. 39) until Nesta was executed by the Seanchan (WH, Ch. 16). As such, her rank was marked by the ten fat gold rings in her earlobes, those in each ear connected by a golden chain and half-hidden (ACoS, Ch. 39). Following Nesta's death, she was required to start again with rank the same as a newly raised apprentice (KoD, Ch. 14). It grated on her pride that to Wavemistresses, she is just another Windfinder (WH, Prologue). She has straight black hair with narrow wings of white.

Quotes
I don't bloody care about your bargains with anybody else, you daughter of the sands," (Mat, A Crown of Swords, Chapter 39).
"This is the bargain between you and me. You go where Nynaeve and Elayne want, and in return, I won't tie the lot of you across horses like packsaddles and haul you there!”
It is agreed, under the Light!" "I think I have just made a bargain with a ta'veren," she said in that cool, deep voice. But one day, Master Cauthon, if it pleases the Light, I think you will walk a rope for me." (A Crown of Swords, Chapter 39).
“she fell from a greater height than most, and she should not have been surprised to find her landing hard after so many fingers she trod on while she was-” (Chanelle to Elayne, Knife of Dreams, Chapter 14).
