General

Varilin is an Aes Sedai of the Gray 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 slender, red-haired and taller than most men (ACoS, Ch. 11). She is also described as a "red-haired stork of a woman" (CoT, Ch. 18).

She is firmly in Romanda's group (CoT, Ch. 16).

Timeline

  • After Egwene is raised, Romanda, Varilin and two other Sitters discuss how to limit the influence Sheriam has as Egwene's Keeper (LoC, Ch. 37).
  • She is one of the five Sitters that comes up with the talks of negotiations with Elaida (CoT, Ch. 16).
  • She speaks against the proposal of allying with the Black Tower, "very near making the forbidden speeches" (CoT, Ch. 19).
  • She takes over the negotiations with the White Tower, pushing Beonin into a lesser role (CoT, Ch. 30).
  • Theodrin tells Egwene that Varilin is very frustrated over how the talks are going on (CoT, Ch. 30).

Quotes

"Varilin and Takima glared at one another like two maidservants supporting their mistresses, a long-legged wading bird in a scowling match with a wren." (Egwene; A Crown of Swords, Chapter 11).

"'I wish Varilin and that lot surprised me, Mother. Discounting the Blue, six Sitters from five Ajahs fled the Tower after Elaida carried out her coup,' her mouth twisted slightly on the word, 'and here we have one from each of those five. I was in Tel'aran'rhiod last night, in the Tower - '" (Siuan to Egwene; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 18).
