Think of the DF we know.
The Seanchan DF act like seanchan. They have many of the same values and mentalities.
Aiel DF (the one that we know) acted very much like an Aiel.
The Black Ajah act like AS. They hate wilders, have Ajah tendencies, believe in WT (that would be run by the Black, but it would still be the WT to them).
So why wouldn't Sorelia act like an Aiel and be offended by the Blakcsmith comment? Maybe she is the highest a DF can get except for the Chosen. Aiel DF might not even be too impressed by the Chosen, Aiel being what they are.

It's kind of ridiculous logic if you think about it - she doesn't act like a DF which is typical of a darkfriend. What happens if she does act like a darkfriend?
Really, this Sorilea theory all started when people thought she stole the male a'dam. Now that Brandon's confirmed that it was Elza, I don't really see any proof that this woman is evil.

It's funny, but I know very few women (none) IRL who act like AS, but RJ definitely fits their MO

My gut feeling tells that Sorilea isn't a DF

I don't think so
13/01/2010 06:02:40 PM

the thread started by pointing out Verin implies Sorilea may not be on the same side...

Actually, it's not about who stole it. It's about how Elza knew where it was AND

Not quite, IMO

and Verin told us that you could betray the FS if you could justify it

Sorilea never saw the wards unraveled. And I'm pretty sure they were inverted.

inverted yes, but she was standing right there when Cadsuane unwove them

As Sorilea closed the door behind the three of them, Cadsuane disarmed the box's traps.

The point was that Sorilea knew two key pieces of information from that moment

She knew only one, and that was known to Bair too...

How do you know Caddy embraced the source only then?

so you contend that she was walking around holding the Source the whole time?

I think Bsand or RJ stated that Shaidar Haran could not do that himself, which is why he needed Elza
