Character Development Thread: Carraidhin Glass

BIOGRAPHY * PINTEREST

Character as a Novice:

To understand who she is now, one must understand who she was. Carraidhin initially came from Cairhien, but actually spent the first many years of her life in Tar Valon. Instead of being tested, she left to Andor at too young of an age and got caught up with the orphans and gangs there. Learning how to defend herself in more viscous ways than most. While her goal in life was to be paid to kill people for a living, she obviously didn't end up this way. Brought in to the Tower because of her gift, Carra was about as studious and stoic as they come. She never reacted to pranks on her, never planted a prank. She learned how to read, write nearly as quickly as she learned weaves. She isn't gifted, in that things came naturally to her, she simply worked hard. Very hard. She was prone to work long hours and not make a complaint. One of very few novices, and accepted, that never was disciplined for stepping out of line. Carraidhin followed the rules. And she followed those rules with single perfection up until she decided it was time to leave the Tower, after gaining her shawl, and simply left.

 

Character as an Aes Sedai:

Carraidhin has grown both anti-political but also has worked her way into mastering the Great Game; underbelly style. This woman doesn't play with the money of the wealthy, but with the lives and rumors of those that lurk below the surface. 

 

Carraidhin's perspective on the Red Ajah shifts more heavily on the aspect of 'protect humanity' then 'gentle all the men'. A strong believer of balance, she seeks mostly to keep the balance of power in check. Nobility, Peasant, Council, so on and so forth. She prefers to work in the shadows and through observation and carefully placed words, threats, and bribes to ensure balance is kept. To most it my be difficult if she walks in the Light, and while she is perfectly comfortable with her life and outlook, she does keep most of this to herself.

 

Opinion on the BT and Bonding:

Much like making friends, bonds are a liability. Bonding or being bonded is a huge violation of her private life and is vehemently against doing so herself. She cares not what others to with their time.

 

The Black Tower, on the other hand, is both the same good and the same evil that she see's in the White Tower. She is not foolish enough to believe any intention is pure. As her position and pride isn't threatened by them in anyway, Carra tolerates their presence so long as they don't enforce her in anyway.
