Also note that unless something majorly unexpected happens, Lila Sedai is not a static character; she will be gaining levels just like the PCs, though more slowly. As a newly-raised Aes Sedai, Lila is quite far from the height of her abilities with the One Power.]BackgroundFemale Tar Valoner Initiate 5/Aes Sedai 2Lila is a young Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah from a merchant family from Tar Valon. Her uncle is Captain Chin Ellisor of the Blue Crane (who will have Elayne, Egwene, and Nynaeve for passengers during the events covered by The Dragon Reborn); he's her father's younger brother. She became a novice at 16, when her ability to channel was noticed by a sister who was negotiating passage on one of the family ships. Unlike most women who came to the Tower, Lila never found the rules that keep her on the island of Tar Valon confining. The city has always been her home, and she knows the reasonably respectable parts of Tar Valon quite well -- well enough that she had been known to show other novices and accepted around on free days. She doesn't do that anymore -- except with some friends among the Accepted who have not been raised to the shawl yet. Other than a quick visit to Cairhein and Caemlyn soon after being raised (Jesse Bial was not happy with her after that), she has not left the Tower since being raised Aes Sedai, but she has been up and down the Erinin on her family's trade ships. Between strength in the Power and patient determination, Lila was raised to the shawl after only 7 years in the Tower, spending about three and a half years as a Novice, and the same as Accepted. Since then, she has been more interested in learning about the world than developing her skills with the One Power; even though she has a lot of potential, she is weaker than most Aes Sedai. But in a few years, she will be among the strongest.Mostly through correspondence, Lila has already begun to piece together a small network of eyes and ears who look out for odd bits of information for her. She has contacts in all the great libraries, and others in areas that no one but a Brown sister would expect.As an Accepted, she read as much of the Prophecies are allowed to read (and a bit more than that); when she was raised to the shawl a year ago, she set about reading the rest. She is trying to put together some odd information she stumbled on to in her research, before taking her findings to the Brown's council, or even to the Amyrlin. If she discovers what she thinks she will in Caemlyn, there could be world-shaking repercussions.Physical DescriptionAge: 23 Height: 5 ft 8 in Weight: 135 lbs - Lila is very tall for a westlander woman, and on thin sideEyes: Brown Hair: Brown, cut like Egwene's picture in the bookClothes: Lila dresses in fairly simple styles, favoring well-made dresses that are appropriate for the wealthy merchant's daughter she is, or a minor noble. All of her dresses are in the midlander styles favored by most Tar Valoners [four scholar's outfits, two traveler's outfit].
