She's most closely tied with taller people though Cannoli Send a noteboard - 25/11/2015 08:35:05 PM

Way back in EotW, she tells Rand about Nynaeve's arrival in Baerlon, describing Nynaeve as shorter than Min herself. When Egwene first appears, she is mentioned as being of a height with Nynaeve, so it really wasn't a surprise. Elayne also mentioned that Min's boots make her taller than Elayne herself, almost as tall as Aviendha, which is why I gave that an entry on this list as well.

But the characters with whom Min is most associated in general is one of the tallest wetlander men, and her fellow lovers, who are also fairly tall. Egwene's arc really only starts when she gets to Salidar, where most people seem to be about 5'4" or 5'5". Plus, she is in a position of relative power and authority, which tends to add to stature literally, in a reader's imagination, to go with the figurative stature. Min, meanwhile, is generally among the least important or significant people where ever she happens to be.

Was Be'lal's height not listed or did you forget him? - 25/11/2015 02:43:44 AM 894 Views
He was not. - 25/11/2015 11:05:43 AM 965 Views
Wasn't that his dream? - 25/11/2015 02:46:49 PM 857 Views
I was referring to her assessment of the dream. - 25/11/2015 04:59:06 PM 799 Views
But their physical size is still determined by Gawyn - 26/11/2015 03:19:04 AM 807 Views
And the basis of her comment is her perception of reality. - 26/11/2015 05:53:32 AM 801 Views
I always find this stuff interesting! I wonder how accurate he was throughout the books - 25/11/2015 03:13:02 PM 780 Views
It's probably why he had all these notes for them to check. - 25/11/2015 05:03:32 PM 804 Views
indeed ... the sheer volume of the notes is rather remarkable - 25/11/2015 08:30:56 PM 753 Views

But this way, we do the work, and Team Jordan gets paid the same! - 26/11/2015 11:20:38 PM 738 Views
Given how big deal Min's shortness was, I'm surprised she's taller than Egwene or Nynaeve *NM* - 25/11/2015 05:35:30 PM 351 Views

Thought Demandred/Sammael were shorter - 26/11/2015 01:48:16 PM 781 Views
Well, Rand wore it poorly in the beginning. - 26/11/2015 11:26:28 PM 951 Views
You misspelled "its" as "it's" in a sentence complaining about grammar. *NM* - 28/11/2015 12:28:30 AM 436 Views
it's sarcasm? *NM* - 01/12/2015 07:47:25 PM 351 Views
