Berowin

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

“We do not try to reach above our station, but skills are honed with time, and this was always nearly a Talent with me, I could hold one of the Forsaken.”

The Kin

Occupation

Wise Woman

  [Source]
She is a member of the Kin in Ebou Dar.

[edit] Appearance

She is short and stout with a tanned face.

She wears the red belt of an Ebou Dari Wise Woman.

[edit] History

She was originally from Cairhien.

She is relatively weak in the One Power. Weaker than nearly all Aes Sedai.

She is contemptuous of Wilders.

She seems to have a Talent for Shielding. The Shield does not break, but rather bends and stretches.

Berowin is one of those among the Kin who believe they may return back to the White Tower one day.

[edit] Activities

She meets Elayne and Nynaeve al'Meara when Setalle Anan deposits them there after mistaking them for runaway novices.

Berowin almost gives the Kin away when she greets Garenia Rosoinde, who had been away from Ebou Dar for a long time.

Nynaeve begs Berowin and Garenia to give them information on the Bowl of the Winds - Berowin hesitates, but Garenia blurts out that she would have sent them out to the farm for punishment. For this, Berowin castigates Garenia and forces her to apologise. This confuses Nynaeve because Garenia is very strong in the power, whereas Berowin is very weak.

Berowin notices that Elayne and Nynaeve know the trick of not letting the heat touch them. She believes that Nynaeve, at least, may actually be Aes Sedai.

She is present on the Kin's farm when Elayne and Nynaeve arrive with the rest of their group and the Bowl of the Winds. She brought word to Alise Tenjile of trouble in the city.
