Aravine Carnel

Author: Leora Oldessroth

General

Aravine Carnel is plump and has a plain, tired face (WH, Ch. 4; KoD, Ch. 28); she is from Amadicia and is either a wealthy merchant or a noble (CoT, Ch. 9). Faile thinks she is probably a noblewoman because she is unused to saying "please" (CoT, Ch. 9).
