Brief Description (physical appearance & personality):
She is prone to fits of insanity, and rage. Often with disastrous result. She looks like Shadowspawn, Her knee-length black hair streaked with shimmery Silver, Her eyes the same color silver but the pupils a diamond shape. She stands about 5'6", her blood is Silver, her tears are silver. Her lips and nails are silver. The Trolloc Strength, inhuman, untamed, The bat-like wings and seductive Draghkar beauty, She blends into Shadows and vanishes, or melts into a silver liquid and flows. All tainted by the experiments of Aginor and the poisonous mixture of Saidin and Saidar. There is no more humanity for Lia Blayde, only redemption. Only Vengeance. But there is love for the Purple Tower, Her family. Her Home, Her Friends. The Shadowspawn did manage to Learn Sacrifice.

Despite her strange gene-pool, she appears a normal human with Silver eyes and silver streaked black hair. She wears Black jeans and a White blouse most often, with a black leather jacket or Black leather trench-coat. Her weapons of choice are a sword worn on her back, twin black-bladed Thankandar-wrought daggers with silver hilts, Twin silver pistols, and a sawed off shotgun. She rides a slack and silver Kawasaki ninja motorcycle, with guns built in, and leg armor on the sides. Or a Silver Fiero with the Licence Plate reading LBlayde. Everything about her is very different, or rememberable, but for some reason, most people write her off as someone boring and normal.

She's a dark person, not evil so much as secretive. Though much is changing about her lately. She will fight until her death for those she loves or something she believes in, but if you cross her, she'll likely kill you without telling you why.

Special Abilities and/or Channelling Strengths:
Channels Fire and Air insanely strong. Then Spirit, then Earth.. Can barely Channel Water, and when she uses it, she can't use it again or undo what she's done for two days. She's an adept at Archery, wears a Wristbow on her left wrist, with which she never misses. She also wields a Chakram.

History:
Near the end of the third Age, Just before the Dragon Reborn broke the world asunder, and just after he destroyed all the then current Forsaken and returned them to the Prison they shared with the Dark One, Liandrin Sedai of the Black Ajah called a meeting in a conclave outside of Caemlyn. At this meeting, she instructed Thirteen Men who were Whitecloaks, and thirteen Women who were Aes Sedai to copulate and bear a child each. They coupled, and went their separate ways, to return again within a years time to the same conclave to bear their child. By the Dark One's Own Luck, The Children were born, healthy and well, in the conclave outside of Caemlyn. Five Girls, and Eight Boys. One of these children, Born to Elizabeth Aes Sedai, then Sitter for the Blue Ajah, and Trevor Blayde, Then Man-at-Arms was Named Liandryn, after Elizabeth's Sister, Liandrin Sedai. The children were to become the next generation of the Forsaken. Each Child studied for the day they would become the Forsaken they were chosen to replace. Liandryn was chosen to become Lanfear.

Liandryn was the first girl born to the conclave. She was tall as she grew. Her hair a deep fiery red color, her eyes an Ice cold blue. She learned and she studied, and she became one with the Shadow, as was asked and required of her. She was blessed with the ability to Channel, not just Saidar, but Saidin as well. When her cousin who was to become Aginor began to experiment on animals, she watched, and helped. When he asked to experiment on her, she smiled and climbed on the table.

Upon their 13th year, The thirteen children were brought before the conclave, where they spoke their vows to the Shadow and the Dark One. Where they were placed in an unholy fire, emerging as the Forsaken they had strived to become. Their minds now shared with the presence of the Forsaken the legends were made around. Each took on the appearance on their Forsaken. Liandryn's red hair had darkened to obsidian, wisps of silver slashed through it like Icy moonlight in a night sky. Her blue eyes had also become silver, Though no-one knew quite why. In fact, her entire body became mostly liquid Silver. They believed it was due to the experiments she participated in with Aginor.

The Fourth age started like many do. Liandryn and her family tore around the world, wreaking havoc, killing the innocent, making new legends about the fearsome Forsaken. Lanfear was now the most feared. She had been modified so much by Aginor, she really had little semblance of humanity left. All she knew was killing, and Darkness, and the Shadow, and the Dark One. Other things just did not exist in her world. She was the perfect picture of Shadowspawn, of hellion and of ShadowWrought Dreadlord that the Dark One gave her the True Power. She has used it only once, and refuses to use it again.

The conclave was in Braem Wood outside of Caemlyn. The children were raised here, they knew nothing else. Until one day a traveler came through the forest, He happened upon the Conclave and was taken prisoner. His name was Julian Rose. His father was the Knightlord of the Order of the White Rose. The Children took their turns tormenting the prisoner. Liandryn, watched, having never seen a human before. She was curious. What was this.. that look of.. submission. Yet Pride behind his eyes. She stole into the prison one night and woke him, telling him she wanted to know what he was. And he told her. She wanted to know all about him, and he told her. And Liandryn for the first time saw sparks of something she never knew existed, the Light.

Liandryn went away more confused than she'd ever been in her life. More confused then when she had woken up out in the forest with a human child in her hands, blood all over her, and the child's head laying somewhere else. That had been the Gene splicing. This was something she couldn't handle. Four years she listened to this man tell her of kindness, of love, of sacrifice... of things she didn't understand, but that fascinated her to no end. Of The Creator, and the Light, and Aes Sedai. Of WhiteCloaks and kings and humanity in general. And suddenly.. there was True Conflict in Liandryn's world.

Lanfear, who had always lain dormant, suddenly began to speak, shouting at her that something was wrong all the time. Telling her new things to try. The magic that she had always been able to do was stronger.. much stronger. Aginor got permission to add the draghkar genes to her, She got wings, and she got even more beautiful, but deep inside her, the Spark of the Light rested within the Heart of the Shadow.

In Julian's fifth year of Captivity, Liandryn was ordered to destroy his village, and take him there, and crucify him in the square. She took him. She destroyed a village, she killed an innkeeper and his wife, leaving a child alone in a neighbor's yard, But she and Julian left, never to return to the Conclave.

Julian introduced her to his father as Lia, the woman who had saved his life. She was nearly fifty years old by this point, but she didn't know that. She joined the knights and fought with them, taking on the surname Rose, and becoming Julian's sister. She stayed with them for nearly thirty years more, until Julian was killed in battle with her own people. The Knights' Order was destroyed.

Lia had never learned compassion, or love, or caring. She had only faint inklings of sacrifice. She only learned that Humans were unaccepting. That it didn't matter how beautiful Lia was, they still found her a monster. So she learned to hide her wings inside her clothes, and never let a person touch her.

With the Order destroyed, and she looking no older than nineteen despite her nearly one hundred years, Lia went to the borderlands and joined a small group of rogues, assassins and thieves under the name of Sierra Blayde. They were no more than a street guild for orphans, but she made a living there, amassing a small fortune and a frightening reputation in Shienar. The Shadow came after her one day, killing a few children before she managed to get away. She knew they'd keep trying to find her, so she went to the last place she thought they would look for her. The White Tower. On the Steps of the White Tower, when the Aes Sedai, greedy for the Power this little Protegè could bring them, asked Lia about her history, she told them. Exactly who she was, and why she needed sanctuary. The fear reverberated in their eyes. They took her in, using compulsion on her unexpecting mind to make her forget everything she had been and everything she could do. For her own good, and theirs.

Lia Rose became a Novice in the White Tower, and she remained as such for nearly fifty more years. Then she was Accepted for another seventy-five or so. The night before her Raising to Aes Sedai, The Then Amyrlin, Mayadi, Expelled her from the Tower on the grounds that she had been rude, and could never be Aes Sedai. Further exploration led to Mayadi's fear of Lia, and Lia had no idea why. Until the Compulsion began to fade, and she remembered who she was.

Lia was on her way to thrash Mayadi something fierce. Her new White Tower training mixed with everything else she knew would have served to give the Woman a good ass-kicking, When Jennaea Sedai, Then a Blue Sister mentioned the Purple Ajah to Lia. Lia Knew she was leaving, and so she went, a secret member of the White Tower Despite Mayadi's wishes. A few Years later, the Purple Ajah Split from the White Tower, Lia went with them, spending most of her time trying to figure out who she is inside and outside.

The Purple Tower was destroyed in Tar Valon, But this time, when Lia's life was down, it got backup and marched to a new home. The Purple Annex was destroyed, but like her own heart, it never died. These people taught her compassion, and kindness, though sometimes the feelings were still alien to her.

Summary:
Born into the Black Ajah, ceremonially turned into the incarnation of Lanfear. Turned from the Shadow and ran to the White Tower, where her ability to Channel both saidin and saidar scared them into pushing her from the Tower the night before her raising to Aes Sedai. As she was leaving, Jen told her about the Purple Tower, and Lia fights for the PT now and forever
