lanna Will Be a Darkfriend

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Rand, Alanna and the Bond

I have no proof of this, other than her meek and mild way of going about things. Her character has had no importance since her bonding. I think that, she will be exposed as a darkfriend and killed....the twist? Rand can't do it. Also, as a result of her death, Rand will go truly MAD. I think that this will mark the beginning of his "Ending" or "Tarmon Gai'don". For which, other deaths will(at least should) happen. Elayne, Min, Avienda....He has to have more motive to fight the Dark One other than --he's the Dragon Reborn--. We only have a little knowledge on what bonding does, and RJ hasn't put enough emphasis on the bond between them other than using it as a compass.....Again, I have no proof. But it sure would be fun, Wouldn't it?

I wonder if one of the gals will have Alanna transfer the bond before this happens...You have made a great point here. This isn't going to be a fairy tale. I agree with you completely that many of his closest friends will be killed or he might even have to let them die to close the prison once again.

lets see. his senses are sharpened because he can channel but that is when he channels. at the time of the grey man incedent he was not channeling. i dont think she is a dark friend because if she was, wouldnt she have bonded perrin when she had the chance. she is green. and she would have been able to control him a little better.

True, she had the opportunity to bond Perrin, but if the DO or one of the forsaken said to her to bond Rand...I don't think she would have had a choice in the matter if she is...

Well, I've seen a lot of these theories saying that Alanna is a darkfriend or is out for her own ends or some such. However in ACOS Min has a viewing while they are going to the sea folk ship about Alanna and the other four Aes Sedai with her, and told Rand that she had just seen the five of them in his hand, and that they wouldn't betray him. So, she obviously cannot be a darkfriend.

Great quote Shamgar, these help alot, so now we can put to rest any speculation about her being a DF or about some dark plot. But I do think it is reasonable to ask the question about Verin using compulsion on her?
