General

Temaile Kinderode is an Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah who is also a member of the Black Ajah (TSR, Ch. 5). She likes to hurt people, enough that another member of the Black Ajah would remark on it (TSR, Ch. 5) and that others would fear her (WH, Ch. 10). In one hundred and thirty years as a member of the Black Ajah, Asne has seldom seen anyone as enthusiastic as Temaile about causing pain (WH, Ch. 10). She was a successful mediator as she liked spreading pain (TFoH, Ch. 18). Her heart included Atuan and Galina (CoT, Prologue). Yukiri felt merely a cool detachment at learning Temaile was Black, possibly, she thought, because she didn't like her (CoT, Prologue). She was captured outisde Caemlyn (KoD, Ch. 33) and killed while trying to escape her prison (ToM, Ch. 23).

She is from Cairhien, fragile looking with big blue eyes which make people trust her (TSR, Ch. 39; TFoH, Ch. 18), short and slight with a foxlike face (TSR, Ch. 52). After leaving the Tower, she takes to wearing clinging robes that Asne considers indecent (WH, Ch. 10).

In my dreams she hoists me to the top of the Tower of Morning by my ankles and lets me fall. A dream, but it seems real, and each time she lets me fall screaming a little nearer the ground. And she laughs! She makes me learn lewd dances, and filthy songs, and laughs when she tells me that before they leave she will make me sing and dance to entertain the - " (Amethera, The Shadow Rising, Chapter 54)
