Egwene is the innkeeper's daughter in Emond's Field. She is a very pretty girl who likes Rand. She is training to become a Wisdom under Nynaeve. When she notices that Moiraine, Lan and the boys are making preparations to leave, she quietly packs and joins them as they are departing, insisting on going with them. The group is pursued across Two Rivers and Egwene finds the chase thrilling. Moiraine then reveals that Egwene can use the One Power and is very gifted with it. Egwene is excited and anxious to begin training as an Aes Sedai. After the group is separated at the river, Egwene is able to light her campfire using the One Power, but she is unable to repeat her success. With the Traveling People, Egwene relaxes and enjoys herself but is always worried about Rand and the others and needs reassurances from Perrin that they are all right. On the way to the Eye, she learns that Nynaeve is also able to use the One Power. After the battle at the Eye, she doesn't care about the implications that Rand is a male Aes Sedai, she still cares about him and wants to help him.
