Who was the woman Aviendha met before Rhuidean?

[Sundance Kid]

Hi all!

 

Just finished reading ToM, great book!

 

I looked around at the forum and couldn't find a thread relating to this. Who was the woman Aviendha met on her way to Rhuidean? It seemed like she used some kind of magic, appearing and disappearing without trace, and the food cooked faster than normal in her precence. However, Aviendha did not feel Saidar. What did the woman do, did she wield the True Power? Not likely unless she was one of the forsaken, and she did not behave as one of those...

 

I have a feeling it is a lose thread that we won't get the answer to.

There's actually been a rather long discussion of Nakomi.

If you don't mind, I rather you discuss the issue in the old thread, so I'll lock this one.
