Corele Hovian
Author: Alyria
General
Corele Hovian is Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah and is from Murandy (ACoS, Ch. 19). She is bonded to Damer Flinn, who is one of the few Asha’man with the Talent of Healing (WH, Ch. 23). While bonded to him, she attempts to reason out how to make what Flinn does with saidin be done with saidar, but this is almost futile (CoT, Ch. 23). It has also been suggested that there is more between Corele and Damer than just their bond, which is unusual for Yellows (CoT, Ch. 24).
Corele is described as being as slim as a boy with wild-looking long, glossy black hair and bushy eyebrows, giving her an untamed appearance. She also wears a perpetually amused smile and has an upturned nose and blue eyes. She has been described as looking as if she were “always dressed for a country dance, with masses of embroidery on her sleeves and bodice and up the sides of her skirts” (ACoS, Ch. 19).
Timeline
- Corele arrives in Cairhien with Cadsuane Melaidhrin (ACoS, Ch. 19).
- She helps to Heal Rand, along with Samitsu and Damer Flinn, after he is stabbed with Fain’s Shadar Logoth blade (CoS, Ch. 41).
- Corele Travels with Cadsuane and the others to Far Madding (WH, Ch. 23).
- She is one of the Aes Sedai with Rand and Nynaeve when they use the Choedan Kal. She also helps Heal the injured after the taint is cleansed (WH, Ch. 35).
- After Shadar Logoth, she goes with Cadsuane, Rand, and the rest to Lord Algarin’s manor on the outskirts of Tear (CoT, Ch. 23).
- It is unclear where Corele is at present, but it can be assumed that she is still with Cadsuane.
Strengths and Talents
As usual of the Yellow Ajah, Corele's strengths lie in Healing, and along with Samitsu and Nynaeve, she is one of the best (CoS, Ch. 36).
Quotes
"She tapped the side of her upturned nose, the way she did when about to tell a joke, or what she saw as one." (Merana about Corele; ACoS, Ch. 19).
"Ah, but it’s such a pretty bottom, now isn’t it that?" (Corele about Rand; ACoS, Ch. 41).
“She had always been as arrogant as any other Yellow, but she had always known where she stood with Cadsuane.” (WH, Ch. 13).
