Tigraine Mantear was the Daughter-Heir of Andor. Her brother was Luc Mantear and her mother was Queen Mordrellen Mantear. Her personal sigil was a woman's hand gripping a thorny rose stem with a white blossom.
[edit] History
She was the Daughter-Heir of Andor and married Taringail Damodred, whom she never loved, to help relations between Andor and Cairhien and they had a son, Galad. She was told by the Aes Sedai Gitara Moroso to become a Maiden of the Spear or the world would suffer. Tigraine and her brother Luc were sent to Tar Valon, in the usual tradition of the royalty of Andor. Tigraine vanished mysteriously from Tar Valon in in 972 NE, never to be heard from again. She travelled into the Aiel Waste, causing the third Succession War. Within a year she had become a Far Dareis Mai, taking on the name of Shaiel, meaning "woman who is dedicated".
As she was adopted into the Chumai Sept of the Taardad Aiel she fell in love with the clan chief, Janduin. Together they travelled with the Taardad over the Dragonwall to execute King Laman Damodred, the Oathbreaker, for his crime against the Tree. In the third year of the Aiel War, she became pregnant by Janduin. She should have been sent home, but was not, and had her child on the third day of the Battle of the Shining Walls, the last day of Nesan, 978 NE and died moments later. This was a child of prophecy, Rand al'Thor.
