IN THE AGE OF LEGENDS Lanfear, which means ''Daughter of the Night'', was born Mierin Eronaile. She is considered to be the most powerful female of the Chosen, as the Forsaken call themselves. In her early life, she was involved in a relationship with Lews Therin Telamon himself, but he broke it off when he realized Mierin desired only power. This seems to be true; even when serving the Dark One , she seems to put her needs first, baffling her fellow Chosen. She is stunningly beautiful, even more so than Graendal . She has dark eyes and pitch black, flowing hair and she is tall, only a hand shorter than Rand Al'Thor . She has always loved Lews Therin, even after he broke off with her. She believed he would have continued loving her if not for Ilyena. She has transferred her love for Lews Therin to Rand, as well as the rest of her conflicted feelings. AT THE SHAROM When her affair with Lews Therin ended, she became a researcher at the Collam Daan, a world famous school in the . She chose her own name, Lanfear (the only original Forsaken to do so), and made public her betrayal in the Hall of Servants itself. She considers herself the master of '' Tel'aran'rhiod '', even though Moghedien believes she could outstrip Lanfear in skill there. MISTRESS OF DISGUISES When she awoke from the seal, she immediately sought Rand Al'Thor out as the Dragon Reborn , the reincarnation of her former lover. She came to him under the guise of Selene, a beautiful young woman, and sought to snare him by appealing to his strong desire to protect women who seem helpless. She often used her beauty to try and seduce Rand; she would constantly urge him to grasp glory and power, although he refused. She disappeared near Cairhien , where she claimed to be from, but turned up again, posing as a peddler in the Waste named '''Keille Shaogi''', along with the Chosen Asmodean , who was posing as the gleeman named Jasin Natael. Shielding Asmodean after his battle with Rand at Rhuidean , she allowed him only to channel a trickle of '' Saidin '', enough to teach Rand to use the One Power. She confronted Rand at the end of '' The Fires Of Heaven '', meaning to kill him after his apparent betrayal (presumably alluding to the fact that he had fallen in love with other women). Moiraine Sedai tackled her while she was focusing on Rand, and they fell into the redstone '' Ter'angreal '' gateway, which subsequently melted, apparently killing them both. AS CYNDANE Reincarnated by the Dark One, she is now Cyndane , which in the Old Tongue means "last chance". She is mind-trapped by Moridin and now travels with him and Moghedien , who is similarly trapped. Cyndane is the polar opposite of her former self. Whereas Lanfear was tall and beautiful, with dark eyes and pitch black hair, Cyndane is short if still pretty with silver hair and blue eyes, and she is also not as strong in the One Power as she was. This lack of strength is noted in Cyndane's POV when she is battling against Alivia during Rand's attempt to cleanse ''saidin''. |
