This brings up a question I have been wanting to post for a while -- who are the leads, and who are the supporting characters? I actually think Elayne has a much larger role than Aviendha -- for many books she galavanted around as Nynaeve's partner, and seemed to be shaping up to be a rival with Egwene for lead female. Aviendha, who I adore as a charcter, has had what -- only 2 actual POVs? And those seem awkward and stiff compared to what I imagine she is like.

Who is the female counterpart to Rand? Is it Nynaeve? or Egwene?

Just food for thought...
