1. She has never murdered anyone.
I think this is kind of cool... Rand, Mat and Perrin have killed dozens of people. She's the only one who would have an complete soul in Harry Potter - Rand could make about fifty Horcruxes by now.

2. She makes friends quickly.
She's friends with Nynaeve, Moiraine, Elayne, Gawyn, Galad, Rand, Mat, Perrin, Amys, Bair, Melaine, Siuan and Leane. Not bad.

3. She has devoted herself to the White Tower and it's traditions and laws and methods.
She always wanted to be an Aes Sedai - this is the least she could do. If she hadn't been this way, she wouldn't be fit for the shawl. Moiraine is going to be proud.

4. She was willing to settle for Rand.
Huh... I recall her rejecting Rand. He was devastated. For a minute. Then he started hitting on Elayne in the same chapter.

5. Her accomplishments have to have come solely through sheer effort.
Wow, this is so untrue... she's incredibly skilled with the One Power. She's one of the few people who has really honed her Talents. The others mess around, but she took her money and made it into millions. It requires effort of course, or how else would she improve??

6. She's sensitive.
The Aiel taught her this, and they are among the hardest of people.

7. She has managed to hold her place in the series despite being superfluous.
Amyrlin Seat and discoverer of immense OP achievements lost for 3,000 years. She's a legend already.

7. Tormented by the Forsaken

Second only to Rand, she has been harmed by Lanfear, Aran'gar and Aginor - and hunted by many others. She's a major threat to the Shadow. They even discuss her in their meetings.

8. Brave

She tried to fight Lanfear and Aginor to save her friends. She wanted to go help fight Rahvin but was mortally wounded from a previous battle. She helped Rand defeat Couladin despite Moiraine's ire. She faced Gawyn about his mother knowing that she might lose him - and yet she still defended Rand.

9. Merciful

Didn't kill Renna despite being her tormented slave for weeks. Allowed Moghedien to live. Didn't fight back when the Accepted tripped her in the dinner hall.
