...Why that is simply something we write off as excusable because she's just a teenager! But Else Grinwell, "just a teenager" has obviously set the course of her life in stone on her first trip away from the family farm!



After all, if you aren't Aes Sedai, you are of now use in the world-wide imminent crisis that is about to erupt. All this does is further demonstrate Siuan's narrow and limited mindset. She is completely engulfed in the White Tower attitude that being a channeler is all or nothing. Aes Sedai or utterly unworthy of interest. You don't need intelligence, judgment, ambition or perseverence to be a member of a circle guided by a sister! All you need to do is walk just enough to keep up with her! The not-inconsiderable strength necessary to be an Aes Sedai is potentially present in Else Grinwell, and now lost to the Tower, along with how many other girls, because the Tower has no interest in any possible use they could have with Tarmon Freaking Gaidon approaching, if they can't become Aes Sedai!
