Appearance

Abilities
Akarrin is very weak in the One Power, with a strength level of 34(22). Egwene thinks that "Akarrin was not strong in the Power, little more than Siuan if at all". In fact, this is marginally above Siuan Sanche's strength after she was healed from Severing.
She is an expert in reading residues.
History
Akarrin is 199 years old. She was born in 801 NE and went to the White Tower in 816 NE. After eleven years as a novice and ten as Accepted she was raised to the shawl in 837 NE.
She taught Moiraine and Siuan when they were novices and Accepted.
Activities
She is sent to where the huge amount of saidar was detected during what was then unknown but will eventually be called the Cleansing of saidin. She reports to the Rebel Hall of the Tower of an enormous hole with huge amounts of saidin residues. This news is the impetus for the alliance of the White Tower and the Black Tower.
Errata
The Wheel of Time Companion says she was raised to the shawl in 829 NE, but this is not possible given her birth date, enrollment and training times. Rather than assume an error in the other figures, we adjust the date above to 837 NE.
