# Ferane Neheran · the First Reasoner of the White

*The Wheel of Time — Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson*

## The operative
A Sitter and a leading voice of the White Ajah — the Ajah of cold logic and philosophy. Blunt, brilliant, and unsentimental, Ferane reasons from first principles and yields only to argument, never to authority; she came to back Egwene when the logic of the Tower's survival demanded it.

## Doctrine — white: the Logician
defeats by pure reason — the cold, perfect analysis no lie survives.

## Why she is the strongest — AVAN
The White Ajah wins without the Power — by being right. Ferane is the discipline this battalion needs against an enemy that lies: the operative who cannot be flattered, frightened, or fooled, only reasoned with — and who reasons faster than you do.

## Why she is the strongest — ROOT0
— yours to seal, ROOT0 —
