Quotes

"Saerin says that Juilaine was handpicked for the Brown, too, apparently not their usual way, and Doesine says the same about Suana, though she was hesitant about saying anything... In any case, she was a Sitter for forty years the first time, and you know it isn't common to take a chair after you were a Sitter that long." (Seaine about Suana; Crossroads of Twilight, Prologue)

""There is strong feeling in favour of it in the Yellow Ajah." Which meant she had strong feelings. She was the head of the Yellow Ajah, the First Weaver, something Alviarin knew because the Black Ajah knew all the Ajah secrets, or nearly all, and in Suana's view, her opinions were the Ajah's opinions." (Suana and Alviarin about Suana and the negotiations; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 21)

"First Weaver: The title given to the head of the Yellow Ajah. This position is currently held by Suana Dragand in the White Tower. Suana Sedai is one of only two Ajah heads to sit in the Hall of the Tower at present." (Crossroads of Twilight, Glossary)
