Jynea al'Dram was born in Deven's ride, the fourth of seven children, three boys and four girls. From the earliest age, Jynea was constantly getting herself into one scrape or another, by far the clumsiest of the children. She has managed to remain all elbows and knees from the time she was five until the present day. She was constantly at odds with her brothers and sisters, and quickly learned how to win a fistfight brawling with her older brothers.
Her mother despaired of raising a tomboy, and kept trying to dress Jynea daintily. She eventually gave in after the umpteenth set of skinned knees, and so Jynea got to wear breeches through much of her rough and tumble childhood.
Her sisters were much more willing to learn the "gentle arts", but Jynea had no patience for weaving, couldn't sew a straight seam and only succeeded in burning dinner if she didn't break all the plates first. Jynea's parents were hard but loving, and it was her father who taught her to sing with her natural ear for harmony and pitch.
It was in her 12th year that Jynea was ranging far afield and had lost track of her brothers, when snow started falling. She started back to the farm, but lost her bearings and ended up wandering further away. The snow turned into a blizzard, and Jynea found herself huddling under the lee of some branches trying desperately to lig ht a fire to avoid freezing. She tried with flint and steel, again and again, with no luck. Finally, crying with cold and exhaustion, and panicked and scared, she ended up channeling a spark which ignited the branches and started a fire which she fed through the night until her brothers found her late in the night. A few days later, Jynea came down with a hideous fever. She was ill for days, but finally the fever broke and she recovered.
She tried to go back to her normal routine, but she would find herself dizzy and lightheaded, laughing at the oddest things. She seemed to be able to get the upper hand in arguments more often with her brothers now. For some reason, if she got mad enough, and concentrated really hard, they would give in. As time went by, she got bolder and started trying her trick on more people. She made the mistake of trying it on a very rude woman who came and stayed at the inn one night. Jynea had tripped and bumped into her, and the lady had turned around, looking very indignant, when Jynea had tried to convince her that she really wasn't mad.
Jynea's luck being what it was, the indignant lady was an Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, who recognized the Power behind Jynea's trick, and sooner than she would have believed possible, had her bundled off to the Tower, where she spent the next two years until just after her 16th birthday cleaning, knocking things over, and being impatient as a Novice. She showed great promise, but could never muster the patience necessary to keep practicing things. Eventually, Jynea managed to gain enough control that she was raised to Accepted. That was three weeks ago, and she had continued knocking things over and annoying Aes Sedai since.
Jynea is tall (5'9") and gangly. She is extremely thin (120lbs), and still gives off the "all elbows and knees" impression. She has Brown hair and dark green eyes. She is relatively clumsy, extremely impatient, and fairly hot-headed, although she has generally learned to hold her tongue to Aes Sedai. She is still a little bit of a tomboy, and still cannot sew a straight hem. She is however, a devoted friend, and extremely intelligent, though somewhat shy.
Her strongest powers are Fire and Spirit, both of which are notable. She is also strong in Air and Water, but very weak in Earth. Her main flaw is a lack of patience with repetition, which prevents her from practicing or concentrating as well as she ought.
