Quotes

"She was First Reasoner, head of the White Ajah, but less likely that Suana to take her own views for those of the entire Ajah. A little less likely. Ferane often seemed as vague as the worst of the Browns- the long black hair that framed her round face needed a brush, and part of the fringe on her shawl appeared to have been dipped carelessly in her breakfast tea- but she could catch the slightest crack in the logic of an argument." Alviarin about Ferane (Reference: CoT Chapter 21).

"First Reasoner: The title given to the head of the White Ajah. This position is currently held by Ferane Neheran in the White Tower. Ferane Sedai is one of only two Ajah heads to sit in the Hall of the Tower at present." (Reference: CoT Glossary)

"Ferane held no sympathy. She scowled with more open fury than any sister should have allowed herself to show. All Alviarin could do was try to ignore the coppery-skinned woman without being obvious." Alviarin about Ferane's anger at Alviarin's disgrace (Reference: KoD Prologue).
