Solain Morgeillin. A Kin in Ebou Dar. Her strength level was 40(28); she was not strong enough to make a gateway of any size whatsoever. Born in 818 NE, she went to the White Tower in 833 NE. During her eleven years a novice and eight years Accepted, while Parenia Demalle was Amyrlin and Sereille Bagand the Mistress of Novices, she was a kleptomaniac, never stealing anything valuable, but she was incorrigible; her habit wasn’t discovered until after she was raised Accepted, and she was put out of the Tower when she could not be broken of it. In subsequent years she was broken of her kleptomania mainly through the perseverance of the Kin. She retained her very light fingers, though, and could slip something out of somebody’s pocket without leaving a clue. She didn’t care for men at all.
She was sent off to check on the cache of objects of the Power in the Rahad and was followed by Mat. Solain accompanied Elayne to Caemlyn and worked with a captured sul’dam there.

Somara. A woman of the Bent Peak sept of the Daryne Aiel and Far Dareis Mai. She had flaxen hair and was very tall, 6'2" or 6'3", and physically strong. With Enaila and Lamelle, she was among the worst at mothering Rand. After Lamelle died, Somara insisted on making the soup that Lamelle had made for Rand, and she was an even worse cook than Lamelle had been. Somara was one of three Maidens, along with Nandera and Nesair, who beat Rand when he returned to Cairhien after fighting the Seanchan because he had dishonored the Maidens by leaving them behind. Somara was killed when the renegade Asha’man attempted to assassinate Rand at the Sun Palace. Rand added her name to the list of women who had died for him.

Someryn. A Wise One of the Shaido Aiel (not a Jumai) with the ability to channel and an impressive strength level of 4(+9)—she once prided herself that she had never met a woman as strong as herself. She was over 6'4" tall, with sun-dark smooth skin, dark yellow hair and blue eyes. She had a very large bosom, which she liked to show off; she took to wearing her blouse unlaced to show even more cleavage than Sevanna. One of Sevanna’s inner circle of plotters, she was among those who accompanied her to the Aes Sedai camp the day she saw Rand beaten and took part in or was present at the murder of Desaine. Someryn and Modarra were the most firmly in Sevanna’s grasp, in Sevanna’s opinion, but both sided with Therava in the end, and Someryn became fairly tight with Therava. Someryn was at the meeting with “Caddar” and “Maisia.” She was impressed by Graendal and said she was very strong, which was an unusual acknowledgment for her. That was the first time she had ever met a woman stronger than she in the Power.
Someryn was with Sevanna at Dumai’s Wells and helped question the Seanchan prisoner in Amadicia, while the Jumai were settled at a captured estate approximately ten days after their arrival.

Soran Milo. The author of The Killers of the Black Veil, which Rand read. Milo was a man who lived about six hundred years before the Last Battle. He wrote about the Aiel and described the Portal Stone on Chaendaer in the Waste; since he based most of his book on those who came to trade at the stedding in the Spine of the World where he was located, he got almost everything wrong. He did get the Portal Stone right; a peddler who had seen it described it to him.
