General
Takima is an Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah. She was Sitter in the Hall, and after the Tower split, she sided with the rebels and was elected Sitter again (ACoS, Ch. 11).
She is firmly in Lelaine's party (CoT, Ch. 16).
She has waist-length, dark hair and a dark ivory complexion (TGH, Ch. 39).
Timeline
- Around 991 NE, Takima is raised a Sitter for the Brown Ajah in the Hall of the Tower (ACoS, Ch. 11).
- She is talking to a petitioner when Nynaeve, Elayne, Egwene and Min sneak past her to meet with Liandrin (TGH, Ch. 39).
- After Elaida's coup, Jesse sends Takima to Salidar as the youngest Brown Sitter (TGS, Ch. 43).
- She is one of the dozen sisters that crowd into the room after Nynaeve Heals Logain (LoC, Ch. 30).

- Egwene convenes the Hall to tell them that she has decided to rest for a few days. Right afterward, she spots Morvrin talking to Takima, which she connects with Morvrin's task to seek out a Sitter from her Ajah, though she thought that Janya or Escaralde were more likely choices (TPoD, Ch. 16)
- At the end of the meeting with the Murandian and Andoran nobles, she talks to Cian (TPoD, Ch. 18).
- When Egwene says that a question of war cannot be shelved, Janya wants to know about the correctness of that statement from Takima, since she has read about the Law of War. Takima agrees curtly with Egwene and afterward keeps silent, while Egwene goes on, hoping for Takima not tell the whole of it. She refuses to stand for the proposal of war against Elaida and breaks into tears when it is decided (TPoD, Ch. 19).
- She is one of the five Sitters that come up with the talks of negotiations with Elaida (CoT, Ch. 16).

- Egwene is certain she can recognize one of her students at a hundred paces distance (TGH, Ch. 39).
- She remembers everything the first time (TPoD, Ch. 19).

"Takima likes the sound of her own voice, sometimes. She must be talking to hear herself." (Morvrin; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 16)
