Ladraen Zindael grew up on a small farm in Tarabon, somewhere on the outskirts of Tanchico. Her father, Raelider was a simple farmer who grew olives for the production of Olive Oil, and her mother, Haeria wove fine cloth and rugs. Ladraen had one other member of her family a twin brother named Lared. Lared and Ladraen loved to play outside all the time as children, but one day everything changed. Lared got mad at Ladraen for stealing his cookie, and wanted it back. Ladraen wouldn't give it back and the next thing she knew she triped over what looked like nothing to get away from him. Lared had taken the cookie away from Ladraen in that instant she was down. Neither one knew that Lared had channeled to trip Ladraen. After that day things changed dramatically, Lared didn't know what was happening to him, but suddenly he had headaches that would rattle things on the walls. His parents tried to hide and deny it and so did Ladraen, But soon came a day that they could no longer anymore. Ladraen and her twin brother had just turned seventeen, when a group of women came into thier farm. The group had claimed that they were looking for girls who could possibly follow in thier foot steps, and began to test the girls in the village. soon after they finished in the village they were sent to Ladraen's farm. Most of the women were of the Red Ajah, and found out that Lared could channel soon enough. Instead of bringing Lared back to the Tower with him, like they should have the Women gentled him there on the spot. They also took the liberty of testing Ladraen as well, and found her a channeler too. So when they returned to the tower they drug Ladraen with them kicking and screaming, while leaving Lared behind half suicidal from the lack of being able to channel, and in the care of her now broken family. From that uneventful day Ladraen grew a hatedred for the Red sisters that tore apart her family and she dedicated her many years to learning in order to get revenge back upon them. She studied hard, and found the more she studied, the more she relized that those sisters who tore apart her family should have to pay. Her hatred for the Red ajah turned her to loving men, and in turn to loving the Green Ajah. Ladraen as a Novice had a hard time at first getting used to her surroundings, leaving her family in such a manner did not help things any more. When she wanted to give up, the Aes Sedai would crack into her harder, and the trainees would see her crying. Feeling sorry for her the trainees would often spend time comforting her, and since the trainees usually reminded her of her lost brother it would help comfort her. So despite the fact that every time she was seen with a trainee she would get in trouble and have to do more chorse, she was still found with them even more so then other Novices. Soon though her lessons she found out that she was very strong in channeling, some Aes Sedai even boasted that she had the potential to even be an Amrlyin some day. She soon found out her strength in the five flows though in order it went Water, Air, Spirit Fire then Earth, it took her months to even be able to repair an earthenware mug with Earth, as she had quite the difficulty in it. She went through the Ter' Angereal and was raised to one of the Accepteds, the memories of her raising hounded her for weeks afterwards, and she barely survived the combination of the Lessons and the memories. Within the ter'Angereal it was told to her that she would be of the Green Ajah and from that day forth she decided that was her fate for sure. In her lessons she further devoloped her skills in all the flows finding out that she was very strong in Water and Air average in spirit and okay in fire then earth she still ahd problems with but could work with it now. She also soon found out for herself that she was more powerful than the Aes Sedai, perhaps one to rival the Amrylin Suain's strength with proper training. She picked up a bit of the Heal, but not much more than to heal simple things like stab wounds, bruises, things that could heal on thier own in a matter of weeks. Her skills more lay in weather control as she had discovered that that was one of her Talents. But other than mastering her discovered Talents she learned the most basic Accepted and Novice weaves. In addition a few lessons from the Green Ajah, on certain Battle type weaves that if not used in the proper setting would break her oaths, like Fireball, and how to call lightining. those things were not taught to her though until she was almost ready to take her test. Her Aes Sedai test was grueling and she barely made it through, but her experiences and the support she had backing her carried her partly, as well as her hate for the women who all but killed her brother. Upon her raiseing she walked stark naked to the Greens who gladly accepted her in thier arms, some of the Aes Sedai she came to know and like, both those she dispised the ones who had part in Gentling her brother were closer to her as she found ways to foul thier plans in what ever way she could, in a small way, it was her payback to them.
