Callesa al'Riean, Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah

age:you shouldn't ask an Aes Sedai
gender: female
nationality: Two Rivers
place of birth: Watch Hill
strength in the One Power: 15 on the new scale, 3 on the old. A former Wilder
strongest elements: Water and Air

Description:
An elegant woman, small in stature. Her ageless face is pretty, even though rather
average. The brown eyes match brown hair, combed in a chignon. Her narrow lips
smile without showing teeth. Neither slim, neither fat, many men find her attractive,
but mostly until they notice the serpent ring. She has learnt to walk like a noblewoman,
but never forgets her roots.

Background:

Callesa was always more adventurous, than people would expect from a farmer's daughter in Two Rivers. Unlike her sisters, she hadn't dreamt of marriage and a farm, she wanted to get to know the city and the world. With help of relatives, she got a job at an inn in Caemlyn. She enjoyed serving food and beer, hearing the stories, seeing the various kinds of people. One day, she was attacked by a man, who relied on his physical strength and didn't take no for an answer. In fear, Callesa created her first tiny Ice Spike. Tiny, melting, not really harmful. But enough to scare the attacker. Scared of the consequences, relatives sent Callesa immediately to the White Tower.

The novice years weren't bad for Callesa, she enjoyed learning, she didn't mind the chores, she was having fun with her new friends. For the first time in her life, she got an opportunity to satisfy curiosity. And for the first time in her life, she was equal to girls from much richer and nobler families. This wasn't only pleasant though. She had to learn how to express herself more appropriately, acquire the manners, stop being a farm girl. She was so proud, when she passed the Arches!

As an Accepted, Callesa lived through a lot of disappointment. While strong in the One Power, she took time learning. She was definitely not a talent for battles, she was not well liked by some of her teachers, some doubted she could ever reach the Shawl. In spite of liking many Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah and struggling with her Brown Apprenticeship, she was sure of her dream. Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge could only lead to the Brown. She saw many friends, including younger ones, reach the Shawl before her. And many more leave the Tower to return to their families. Her heart ached. But with help of her mentors, especially Naji and Alayla, she learnt. She emerged from the Test victorious.

Ever since, she's been dividing her time between travels, and time spent in the Tower, above all with the students.
