Read more about Egwene Al'Vere at: Wikipedia Official Site: Robert Jordan Egwene al'Vere (pronounced e-GWAIN al-VEER) is one of the main characters of the Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan. She is described as beautiful, with large brown eyes and long dark hair. Like all adult women in her home village of Emond's Field, she initially wore her hair in a long braid, but as soon as she began to consider herself an Aes Sedai, she adopted Moiraine's loose style. She's very short, around 5' or 5'1". Egwene is frequently described as wanting to learn everything, as fast as possible; she often chafes against the restrictions her teachers put on her, even those set for her own safety. While the other characters resist power and responsibility, Egwene seeks them out. Moiraine Damodred has made note of Egwene's social intuition; while she may not understand the private or secret machinations going on around her, she is often (at least) aware that they are happening—a strong contrast to the other Two Rivers characters in the series, who tend to take everything around them at face value. Finally, she is, like many of the main characters in the series, highly intuitive with the One Power, having personally re-discovered the weaves for Gateways and the creation of cuendillar. The youngest of five daughters, Egwene grew up in Emond's Field alongside Rand al'Thor, Mat Cauthon, Perrin Aybara and Nynaeve al'Meara. Though friends with all of them, she was particularly close to Rand, whom (it was assumed by all and sundry) she would marry when they both came of age. She was also apprentice Wisdom to Nynaeve.
