Personality:Ykoria is a quiet, reserved and dignified. She has little patience for what she perceives as foolishness. She enjoys learning and reading on a wide variety of topics which may not particularly relate to each other. She also enjoys singing, but typically will never do so if she believes that anyone is within earshot. She has a few, close friends instead of a large group. She would prefer not to endure the pressures of an intense social life. She dislikes being forced to show her skills and knowledge in public, and enduring the pressure that comes with it. She is however, quite kind and caring, although she rarely shows it openly and so others may see her as somewhat cold. She does, however, have a quirky sense of humor that may break through at unusual times, reducing her to peals of laughter when her mind makes an unusual connection.
Special Skills:Her parents both work in the First's library, therefore she has learned reading and writing and is skilled at both. When young, her mother was a singer, and has given her a rudimentary training in singing.
Weaknesses:Physically petite. Unusually sensitive to heat and becomes agitated in overly warm environments. Not particularly social. Distant. Quiet. Dislikes showing off what she knows and can do, and would rather be left to herself and pursue her own goals rather then socialize with peers for the most part. She has a morbid fear of failure and not measuring up to the norms.

History
Ykoria Eranyame is the 15 year old daughter of two Mayeners, living in the City. Her father is a librarian and a scribe for the First, and her mother who was a formally trained singer of no particular repute before meeting her father, at which point she took a job as an occasional copyist in the Library with her new husband. Ykoria is the eldest of three children, having two younger brothers within a few years of her. She took to books and learning quite naturally, as both of her parents worked in a Library, and she and her siblings would often be taken there. She and the rest of her siblings received an informal, and perhaps somewhat uneven but often quite advanced, education as a result of their parent’s place of work. Ykoria’s mother also tried to pass on her education as a singer, and both found the experience quite rewarding, and Ykoria developed some skill as a soprano and can sing rather well. She loathes to be heard, however, and never sings if she thinks anyone can hear. Her life is fairly nondescript, and the most major event, has been her parent’s inclusion in a delegation of librarians and scribes that the First formed and is sending to Tar Valon in an attempt to either procure, or make copies of certain books that she has learned are held by the White Tower. Upon the request of her father, the chamberlain of the First, who is responsible for orchestrating the trip, indulgently agreed that his children could accompany him and his wife to Tar Valon, and Ykoria Eranyame is now has the opportunity of a lifetime to see Tar Valon, the greatest city in the world, and the White Tower, the seat of the Aes Sedai.
