[edit] Appearance
She has blue eyes and golden yellow hair with threads of white running through it. She has fine lines at the corners of her eyes and speaks with a slow Seanchan drawl. She is a little taller than Nynaeve al'Meara.
[edit] History
Alivia was born in 586 NE and was made damane when she was thirteen or fourteen years old. She was captured by Rand's forces during their battle with Seanchan in Altara, killing nine Defenders of the Stone and one Asha'man Soldier when they tried to remove her a'dam. Alivia is considerably stronger in the One Power than even Nynaeve. Only the Forsaken can match her strength. She is very good at using the Power as a weapon and knows more about destructive weaves than anyone (possibly even the Asha'man), but little else.
[edit] Freedom
After the battle, she and her sul'dam are sent to Elayne in Caemlyn. After Elayne and Reanne Corly determine that she is ready to have her a'dam removed, she no longer fears anyone or anything. When Rand and Nynaeve depart for Far Madding, Alivia insists on coming. She goes with Min Farshaw to find Cadsuane Melaidhrin, when Rand is captured by the Far Madding guards and placed in prison. She participates in the Battle near Shadar Logoth where she borrows Nynaeve's ring-and-bracelet Ter'angreal and Angreal. She attacks Cyndane, who is very surprised at how strong she is in the One Power and forces her to retreat.
Alivia claims that she hates all sul'dam. She claims that she didn't voice it as soon as she was captured because she was afraid that she would be recaptured. She now wants to kill the sul'dam. Rand does not fully trust Alivia, but she has appointed herself as his unofficial protector. She credits Rand with being the one to free her of her a'dam.
She and the rest of Rand's group Travel to Algarin Pendaloan's house in Tear, where Rand recovers after cleansing Saidin. She now stands bodyguard to Rand's quarters, being very selective on who she allows in to see him.
She is very quick to learn with the One Power only needing to see a weave once, and then recreate it such as driving the flies away from the dead Saldaeans bodies, after the battle with the Trollocs at Aldarin's house. Rand compliments her on learning so well, which seems to embarrass her, but also encourages her.
Rand doesn't allow her to come to his meeting with who he thought was the Daughter of the Nine Moons. He is worried that she will slip into her old habits of being damane if exposed to any Seanchan.

[edit] Viewing
Min Farshaw foresaw that Alivia would "help Rand die"- the exact meaning of this prediction is unclear.
