Origin
Very little is known about Mesaana's life before swearing allegiance to the Dark One. She is described as dreamy, with large blue eyes and dark hair. She has a voice like silver chimes and is taller than most women. She frequently disguises her ability to channel and appears just short of her middle years. Unlike the other Forsaken, Saine Tarasind was not the best in her profession. She applied for a research position at the Collam Daan, the epicenter of research into the One Power at that time. She was refused the position she wanted and instead found herself teaching at the center.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“The origin of storms is not in clouds,
our lightning strikes when the earth rises,
spillways free authentic power:
dead John Brown’s body walking from a tunnel
to break the armored and concluded mind.”

“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed,—a, to me, equally mysterious origin for it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
