Read more about Elayne Trakand at: Wikipedia Official Site: Robert Jordan Elayne Trakand is one of the main characters of the Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan. She bears a resemblance both in name and appearance to Ilyena, the doomed wife of Lews Therin Telamon from the Age of Legends. She is described as exceedingly beautiful, about 5'7", with blue eyes and red-gold hair framing an oval face. The youngest child and only daughter of Queen Morgase Trakand of Andor, Elayne grew up in the Royal Palace in Caemlyn. She was heir apparent throughout her childhood as only women can hold the Lion Throne of Andor. She is thus known as the Daughter-Heir of Andor and since the Knife of Dreams, is the Queen of Andor. Her personal sigil is a golden lily. Elayne's first appearance in the series, in The Eye of The World, is when Rand al'Thor literally falls into the Royal Garden and makes acquaintances with Elayne, her older brother Gawyn Trakand and their half-brother Galad Damodred, and even Queen Morgase herself. Later in the series, it is revealed that Elayne fell in love with Rand at first sight. However, she was unable to follow Rand both due to her royal duties and because, as a daughter of House Trakand, she was required by tradition to train at the White Tower, though she was the only daughter heir in Andor history to have had true strength in the One Power. She is currently the first Aes Sedai queen of any country since the last queen of Manetheren died.
Elayne Trakand has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
