Why would she? DomA Send a noteboard - 09/08/2010 12:17:34 PM
Disguising herself as the little tramp/vamp among the Novices was Jordan's idea of a joke to get Lanfear to the Novice quarters and reach Egwene and Nynaeve unseen.

This is most likely a spur of the moment idea (from the character, not RJ....). Lanfear had spotted Else before (unsurprisingly, she must have found her amusing) and that day she noticed she wasn't around looking at the Warders and trainees, so she adopted her appearance to cross the grounds and reach the girls without attracting attention. As soon as she left, she took back her own appearance (that Egwene confused with a sister).

Lanfear probably had no idea that Else had been put out of the Tower weeks earlier and that's why she wasn't around. She obviously had no idea either that Mat knew Else personally (probably told herself "Why am I not surprised?" though)

She says so herself, killing without a good motive isn't her style, and she had no reason to kill Else just to steal her appearance for a few minutes. She would not have found her anyway, Else was already on the way home.

Almost non-existant (the BA seems to disagree with your opinion she had potential) - 09/08/2010 12:42:30 PM 852 Views

You lay a convincing arguement. - 09/08/2010 05:38:43 PM 629 Views
Didn't the BA kill Else? Or did they kill some other farmer girl? *NM* - 10/08/2010 10:51:38 AM 301 Views

Sheriam would have known, but at this point in the story we had no clue she was BA - 12/08/2010 03:28:09 AM 624 Views
