Hey everybody, I know that on many a WoT site there is a lot of discussion about who Mesaana is masquarading as within the White Tower, but I decided to share my idea, and my "proof" if you'll call it that, here. Danelle, of the brown ajah Siuan Sanche, the day that she is being stilled, is thinking about Danelle who she says has been even more flightly lately than normal. She is supposted to be looking after a library project and hiring men to complete it, only she has hired enough men, Siuan says, to build the white tower itself. These men, it turns out, try to overthrow the Whtie Tower during the coupe that happens later that day. Did Elaida ask Danelle to gather these men? Its possible, but unlikely, given Elaida's issue with any men. When the sisters come to take Siuan away, Danelle is there, and she sneers at Siuan, which Siuan remarks is very out of character for the normal flightiness of Danelle's personality. She also remarks that Danelle seems to be the only Aes Sedai who is unafraid of her threats, even Elaida seems mildly effected by them. If Danelle is Mesaana, it would explain why she didn't consider Siuan a worthy apponent, as the forsaken look down on all current day Aes Sedai as being half trained. It would make sense, of course, given Mesaana's history, for her to hide in the tower as a member of the brown ajah, given that she always wanted to do research during the age of legends, and that supports my claim. Lastly, Alvarian sees a small portion of Mesaana's skirt while they are talking in one of the more recent book and it is bronze. Two chapters later, on the very same day, Danelle's skirt is described in similar terms by RJ while in a meeting with Elaida. A coincidence? Probably not when RJ claims that all the information as to who the forsaken are has already been given to us. ![]() For those that care, the parts that involve Siuan being stilled are found in The Shadow Rising...I'll check on the later reference when I get a chance. -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

I do believe you're onto something. Though wasn't her
Mirror broken by Shadar Haran in Crossroads? Revealing EXACTLY who she
looked like to Alviarin? Forgive my horrible spelling. I could have sworn
the White mentioned that she looked like no one she's seen before, but she
could be a servant or a guest. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

Yeah...all Alvi gave us is that she was (as Mesaana
and Danelle are described "average looking" ) blue eyed when her illusions
were rent. So we're looking for a blue-eyed, average-looking, woman with the tendency to seem dreamy... that does fit Danelle and Mesaana (who it actually is the description of) except we don't know Danelle's eye color... Alvi not recognizing her doesn't disqualify her -- she could very well be disguised with inverted flows of the power masquerading as Danelle Sedai who she certainly would have an easy time acting like. Since there are less than 1000 Aes Sedai (in fact, more like 500) their circle is smaller than my high school (so everyone knows everyone at least in name and description), she'd probably have to take an identity already in place and quite probably one that is quiet and similar in description to herself so her disguise can be less complex... A Brown Aes Sedai (a researcher, what Mesaana wanted to be), no warder (no witness!), a quiet type who is regarded as a daydreamer (like Mesaana was in the AoL) -- it's the perfect cover for Mesaana I think it works, but that Mesaana wasn't going to find an absolute doppleganger and so had to disguise herself a little to pull it off -- I mean, she doesn't have the ageless look because she's unbound by the binding rod (oath rod) and that in itself makes a HUGE difference. Danelle Sedai would be bound and look ageless while Mesaana looks perfectly normal -- this would explain why Alviarin didn't recognize her. People didn't recognize Siuan Sanche (who was well known) after she was stilled because the ageless look was gone and she looked so young and pretty!
