Sheriam Bayanar
Sheriam Bayanar (pronounced: SHEER-ee-ahm bay-ah-NAHR) was a highly influential Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah, serving as Mistress of Novices of the White Tower during the tenure of the Amyrlin Siuan Sanche.
Sheriam Bayanar spent her years as Accepted in the White Tower at Tar Valon, in the days when Tamra Ospenya held the Amyrlin Seat. Among the Accepted of her generation were Moiraine Damodred and Siuan Sanche, close friends who earned the shawl a short while before she did, and whose paths crossed hers in the Tower's halls throughout those years of training.
Her own testing for the shawl came on High Chasaline, and she passed. On the following day she chose the Blue Ajah. It was Moiraine, then only recently a Blue sister herself, who laid the shawl on Sheriam's shoulders and escorted her to the Blue Ajah quarters.
There Sheriam took up the life of a newly raised Aes Sedai, learning the customs of her Ajah and the new weaves taught to sisters fresh from the shawl. She had chosen the same Ajah as the two women who went before her, and from her first day she wore the blue as a full sister of the White Tower where she had trained.
