Marith Jaen was an Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah. She was raised to the Amyrlin Seat in the year 984 NE, and held the position until her death in 988 NE (TWoRJTWoT).
One of the reasons why Siuan Sanche, Marith's successor, was chosen as Amyrlin Seat was because she was young; the last three Amyrlin's, Marith, Sierin Vayu and Tamra Ospenya, had all died within a few years of being raised to the Amyrlin Seat (ACoS, Ch. 7).
