Elayne: Ilyena's counterpart (don't know if she's really her soul reborn, but I think she fits into that role)
Avienda: representing his tie to the Aiel, both as a character and plot-wise
Min: "Rand's", so to speak. The one that's only meant to be there for Rand. Her viewings may contribute to this, but I think she'd serve this role without her viewings (although Min would have very little role without her viewings).
This is just how I've always thought of them. I agree with what some other people are saying.

There are Elaines in Arthurian legends, yeah, but they're involved with Lancelot more than Arthur.

You're right that Moiraine, Nynaeve and Cadsuane would make a better fit.

Yeah, I meant if I had to pick from those three. Otherwise, there are better candidates. *NM*
