Who are the main characters in The Wheel of Time?
Two Rivers sweethearts Rand and Egwene have a tiff at the beginning of the season—aware of her nascent powers, she decides to become a “Wisdom,” an honor that means she helps and heals her community but is not allowed to have a family of her own. That doesn’t sit well with Rand, who wants to marry her. They spend most of The Wheel of Time apart, but have a sweet reunion before Rand realizes (in season one’s second-to-last episode) that he’s the Dragon Reborn… and has an appointment he must keep with the Dark One. Egwene is no delicate flower, though, revealing astonishing channeling powers that suggest her destiny lies within the White Tower among the Aes Sedai.
