I just pointed out that they could be expected to be worse, and Egwene HAS the attributes one might expect of Tuon & Elayne, which they do not. Tuon & Elayne have been raised to rule, and to look out for the greater good, but neither one of them does so to an immoral extent, or violates basic decency & consideration in doing so. Egwene pushes through her campaign to become Amyrlin, regardless of how the "little people" are affected, WITHOUT even the weak excuse of having been raised to ignore such considerations. Egwene got to that place WITHOUT the head-start toward indifference that being raised in a palace gives. It would be like Egwene becoming a criminal in spite of being raised by decent people, while Elayne was raised in a biker bar, and Tuon by a mafia father, but both grew up to be law-abiding citizens, in spite of their environments or parental influence.

More than Tuon's upbringing (since I don't particularly share the prejudice against aristocracy so common in pop culture), is the fact that she is the daughter of a father she never knew and a mother whose only known individual personality trait is forcing people to pay Russian Roulette for her entertainment. Elayne was raised by an ego-tripping tiger mom and emotion-driven monarch, by a father-figure who quickly made it plain once he was done sleeping with her mother, how little personal interest he had in her and by a geriatric three generations older than she. Egwene had a relatively normal upbringing with family & friends, but is way more prone to abuse of power and unwarranted ambition than either.
