Dreda Bonnelle Currently // Sister of the Blue Ajah eMail // dredasedai@dragonmount.com ICQ // 32867000 Dreda Lenee Bonnelle was born in Saldea to parents who were inkeepers. She has always considered herself Saldean even though she was of Andoran blood (her mother and father fled Andor after he had been wrongfully accused of a murder). She had a fairly normal childhood. She helped her mother in the kitchen and her father with the bookkeeping. After Dreda had just turned 12 her mother took ill. After 4 long months of pain she died. Dreda didn’t take it well at all. She shut herself in her room and refused to eat anything but soup for days.(even now she eats only soup when she is depressed). Finally her father talked her out of her room by telling her that if she wanted to make her mother proud of her, that she would help him run the inn. She blossomed. Her unique administration style had men and women 3 times her age doing the tasks she assigned them. She was their friend, daughter and helper all in one. Her life changed the night before her 13th birthday. A particularly rough crowd was in the common room that night. Two men started brawling and all that Dreda could think about was that she had to save the common room from being destroyed, her mother would have never allowed that. Without knowing what she was doing, she channeled flows of air and bound the two men. Everyone fled from the inn. The only people left in the common room were Dreda, her father and a woman sitting near the fireplace, staring at Dreda with a considering eye. She introduced herself to them as Cairyn Sedai. Cairyn Sedai "offered" to take Dreda to the White Tower with her. Three days later, Dreda said goodbye to her father, her friends, and her life. She moved quickly through the ranks of novice and accepted. She became known as a peacemaker, negotiating peace between fighting friends and also negotiating lighter punishments with the Mistress of Novices for her mischvious friends. Most thought that she would choose the Gray Ajah when she was raised to the shawl, but she chose the blue. Although she loved peace, she loved justice and fairness more. In the end, justice and fairness brings about peace. Dreda met her warder, Asha’man Hawkwing, during the search for Sam d’ma Shadar, the rogue male channeler. She was drawn to Hawkwing’s confidence and character. They had a special bond – after Dreda bonded Hawkwing, Hawkwing bonded her. They had only been bonded for a couple weeks when the Breaking occurred and the bond was mysteriously severed. Dreda has bonded Hawkwing again. He has not bonded her again, and she is waiting for him to make his decision.
