   My name is Taeadra Culthane.  I was born in Camelyn, Andor to hard working and loving parents, Zerwin and Oedan Culthane.  My mother and father run an inn located in the heart of Camelyn called "The Blue Heron".  Although my family is not nobility, we have become highly respected in Camelyn and nobility favor us.  I have one sibling...a brother, Samuel, who is older than I.  Although my life has been easy, I have always been a rebel at heart.  I grew up on the streets of Camelyn and always managed to work my way into some sort of trouble or another.  Family members call me willful...even stubborn at times. *S*

Although it has always been my brothers ambition to stay in Camelyn and take over running the inn, I have never had such aspirations.  Once when I was a small child a gleeman  made a stop at our in.  While others requested stories of battle and war and fame, I begged for stories of glorious Aes Sedai.  Although the gleeman could never understand my interest and often warned me to stay clear of them, I have wanted for nothing since then but to become Aes Sedai.   Although still very young, I have worked at perfecting skills that may help me in my quest.  I am working on becoming skilled at Daes Dae'mar, The Game of the Houses, with help from friends of my fathers.  I sit and listen to them day in and day out.

At only 18 years old I am becoming a woman the men won't turn their eyes away from. I am 5'7" and somewhere around 120 lbs.  I have black hair and brilliant green eyes, and a small scar on my chin from an accident when I was a child (Samuel *accidentaly* threw me down the stairs of the inn *s*).

My parents love me very much, however since my 13th name day they have become frustrated with my insistence that I go to the Tower to be tested....I just know in my heart of hearts that I have the ability, that I can be Aes Sedai, I sense it..it is as much apart of me as my heart!!!  Much to my dismay however, my parents have sent me to Barelon to stay with an Aunt there in hopes that some country air will clear my head and help me to understand that I have no place in the tower.  They are wrong though....I can feel it in the air something good will come of my trip to Barelon!   I know, I know, I'm eager...but I am also dedicated and willing to put my all to anything I do!!!

I was right, I was found in Barelon, and I was found to have the ability to channel.  I am currently a Novice in the White Tower, planning a few pranks and causing general mischief.
