Character History

Nana al’Mara was born and raised in Emond’s Field, the daughter of Mari and Hal al’Mara. Mari died of a wasting disease when Nana was 12, leaving her in the care of her father. At the age of 13 she was apprenticed to the village Wisdom, Kessa al'Dai, at her own insistence - she wanted to prevent other people from dying as her mother had. Kessa was quite old at this stage and without an apprentice as the previous three had all died of a mysterious illness. Nana displayed a prodigious talent with the sick, some would even say miraculous. However, she wasn't able to save her father either, when he fell off a cliff whilst hunting. Left an orphan at the tender age of 16, Nana threw herself into learning to heal, to the exclusion of everything else. 
When Nana was 20, Kessa died of old age. Left without a Wisdom, the Women's Circle had no choice but to appoint Nana to the position, despite her youth. Despite her bullying tactics, Nana did quite well, most people tending to forgive her faults due to her proficiency in healing almost any illness. Her talent for predicting to the weather didn't hurt either. Shortly after becoming Wisdom, she took Eldwene al'Varin (Egwene) as apprentice.

Mariana arrives at Emond's Field, leaves with Nana, Eldwene, Jarron, Calder and Barin. Nana and Eldwene end up at the WT.
