Personality

Iron willed, cold-hearted, obsessive about whatever she is studying. She is beautiful, but was not interested in her own looks, till now. She had thrown her heart and soul into the Red Ajah, eschewing such fripperies as pretty clothes and her appearance, rather concentrating on her hunt for knowledge and men who could channel. After her return, she has become a different person – flaunting her beauty, dressing in revealing clothes, becoming fiery and quick tempered, though she manages a rudimentary control over that; has a tendency now to throw things around, when she loses control of her temper.  Slightly unbalanced after her “experiment” and subsequent punishment.

 

History

 

In her 16th year Zarinen’s closest friend, Pietr, started channelling.  When he started to do horrible things, like setting fire to a farm animal, they decided together that he needed to be gentled.  Zarinen went in search of Aes Sedai, and met the Reds who had been sent to deal with him (word had spread of odd happenings). They tested her, and took her back to the Tower along with Pietr.  After he was gentled, Pietr was employed at the Tower and they remained in contact till he died 12 years later, as gentled men usually do. Then an Accepted, Zarinen buried herself even more in her studies, leading the Browns to have high hopes that she would eventually join them.  Upon being raised, Zarinen chose the Red Ajah instead, knowing that preventing another Breaking was her calling.

 

She never ceased studying, though; although what had happened to her friend had hardened her even more than most Reds, she was determined to find a way to utilize these men who could channel, rather than just gentling them. 50 years after being raised, Zarinen found a man who could channel, but instead of taking him back to the Tower, she seduced and Bonded him.

 

They spent the next 4 years travelling less populated areas, avoiding other Aes Sedai as much as possible, while Zarinen studied him and his abilities. Ultimately he went mad, and Zarinen killed him.  She had studied what she could of the bond, without giving away her intentions, but she had never found out how to actually break the bond. She had also heard what happened to an Aes Sedai when her Warder died, but two facts had escaped her careful preparations: no matter how cold her heart, after four years of having someone in her head, he was no longer just a test subject. And no Aes Sedai had ever killed her own Warder, not according to anything she’d read or heard. 

 

The normal reaction of an AS losing her warder was compounded by this, and in her state, she had headed for the only home she knew – the Tower, just at the wrong moment.  She was caught in the net cast for other Reds, tried along with them, birched and exiled for 20 years to a remote farm, not allowed to channel.  The uproar from the Greens when they heard about her Bonding added an extra bit of punishment.  She was flogged once a week, and had her head shaven regularly until the last 2 years. She hated the Greens.  But she has survived, and she is finally back home, finally allowed to channel again. And she would make those Greens grind their teeth and spit in their tea.  You did what you had to and you paid the price, but oh Light, she hated those Greens!
