Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
A Shaido Wise One consumed by ambition — she shattered Aiel tradition, led her clan into ruin, and captured Faile in pursuit of power she was never meant to hold.
Sevanna is what happens when ambition meets opportunity without honor to constrain it. She manipulated Couladin into declaring himself Car'a'carn, used the Shaido's isolation to build personal power, and led her clan across the Dragonwall in a campaign that violated every tenet of ji'e'toh. Her capture of Faile set the stage for Perrin's most desperate arc. She's intelligent, ruthless, and ultimately undone by the very ambition that drove her — the Wise Ones she tried to command eventually turned on her.
Beautiful by Aiel standards, with golden hair and a body she displays deliberately — unusual for a Wise One. She wears more jewelry and finery than any Aiel woman should, signaling her rejection of traditional values.
