Atarah al'Norahn

General

Leane was born in Arad Domon. Her mother was a merchant who traded furs and timber. (TFOH, Ch. 1) Leane is tall, willowy, and has copper skin and dark eyes. (TGH, Ch. 7) Her Aunt Resara taught her the charms of the Domani Women. (TFOH, Ch. 1)

As a novice of the White Tower, Leane, Siuan and Sheriam got into their share of trouble. This continued on through her years as Accepted. (TFOH, Ch. 26)

After being raised to the Blue Ajah (how long is not known), Leane became the Keeper of the Chronicles for Siuan Sanche. She also bonded a Warder, Anjen. They were obviously rather close, for when he died around 985 NE, the loss was so painful for her that she never bonded another Warder. (LOC, Ch. 30)

Leane is also close to several of her sisters, such as Siuan; Moiraine once noted that she thought that, no matter what, Leane would support Siuan. (TGH, Ch. 5) Similarly, Siuan includes Leane among the few people that she can trust. (TDR, Ch. 14)

When Elaida found out about Siuan's involvement with Rand, both Siuan and Leane were stilled. With help from Min, Laras, and Gawyn, they both escaped and made their way to Salidar. (TSR, Ch. 47) Along the way, Leane resorted several times to the talents of herDomani heritage. After Leane was Healed by Nynaeve, she changed from the Blue Ajah to the Green Ajah. (LOC, Ch. 30)

Quotes

"To think she could speak to you in that manner, Mother! I am surprised she helped at all if she feels that way." ~~Leane to Siuan about Laras. (TSR, Ch. 47)

"If I flirt with the right man, perhaps we will not need to worry about strappings or anything else. At the least, I might get us lighter sentances." (TFOH, Ch. 1)

"I think perhaps I've always felt I was masquerading as someone else, building up a mask until it became second nature There was serious work to be done, more serious than merchanting, and by the time I realized there was another way I could have gone even so, I had the mask on too firmly to take off." (TFOH, Ch. 1)

"We are who we are. Question us. No impostor could know what we know." (TFOH, Ch. 26)

Miscellaneous

While still at the White Tower, Min had a viewing of Leane. Min saw a transparent mask of Leane's face, screaming. (TSR, Ch. 1)

While in Salidar, Siuan is refused use of the ring ter'angeal. Leane lends it to her.
