Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
A Wise One dreamwalker who trained Egwene in Tel'aran'rhiod — hard as the Waste, fair as its justice, and unwilling to tolerate weakness or dishonesty.
Amys trained Egwene in dreamwalking and Tel'aran'rhiod navigation with the Aiel approach to education: you learn by doing, mistakes hurt, and pity is an insult. She's Rhuarc's wife, a former Maiden of the Spear, and one of the most respected Wise Ones alive. She holds the Aiel together during the Car'a'carn's upheaval through sheer force of character.
White-haired despite her ageless vitality, with the weathered features and direct gaze of a lifelong Waste dweller. She wears Wise One garb and carries herself with the authority of someone whose word settles disputes between clans.
