General
Daigian Moseneillin is an Aes Sedai of the White Ajah from Cairhien. She was born into a lesser noble House (ACoS, Ch. 19). She is plump and short with a pale complexion. She has long black hair, in which she wears a kesiera with a white moonstone. She reminds Merana of a pouter pigeon (ACoS, Ch. 19).
Daigian is one of the weakest Aes Sedai ever. She spent more time as a novice and an Accepted than any other. She is said to have gained the ring by a fingernail and the shawl by an eyelash (ACoS, Ch. 19). Due to the fact that she is so low on the ladder of rank, Daigian is very hesitant and shy when speaking around other Aes Sedai. However, her logic is impeccable (TPoD, Ch. 12).

Relationships
Daigian is one of the Aes Sedai who follows Cadsuane. Since Cadsuane is so far above her, Daigian obeys her implicitly. Cadsuane thinks that Daigian has a very good mind (TPoD, Ch. 12).
Since Daigian is so lacking in strength in the One Power, she is considered by many other Aes Sedai to be no better than a wilder, and is treated as little better than a servant (TPoD, Ch. 12). In return, Daigian is always self-effacing around other sisters (ACoS, Ch. 19).
Eben is Daigian's first Warder (CoT, Ch. 23). They both feel affection for each other. Eben thinks that, with time, he might come to love her (WH, Ch. 35). After Eben's death, Damer Flinn wants to try his Healing on Daigian, who is inconsolable, but she refuses because she knows that grieving over a dead Warder is part of remembering him (CoT, Ch. 23).
She refers to Nynaeve as “dear” (TGS, Ch. 7).
Miscellaneous
- After Eben's death, Daigian keeps to her rooms too much, but she keeps her weeping private (CoT, Ch. 23).
- Jahar Narishma tells the Rebel Aes Sedai about how Eben died in service to his Aes Sedai Daigian (KoD, Ch. 23).
- Daigian told the others that when Aran'gar attacked them, Eben shouted that she was holding saidin. She couldn't detect anything at all, even when Aran'gar was channeling (KoD, Ch. 23).
