Moiraine Damodred

Moiraine by Terese Nielsen Height: ~5'2"
Hair: black/brown
Eyes: brown
Age: "ageless"
"...he could not put an age to her at all. At first he thought she was as young as Nynaeve. but the longer he looked the more he thought she was older than that. There was a maturity about her large, dark eyes, a hint of knowing that no one could have gotten young... She held herself with a grace and air of command that made him feel awkward and stumble footed. She was barely tall enough to come up to his chest, but her presence was such that her height seemed the proper one and he felt ungainly in his tallness..." (The Eye of the World, 26-27)

The Candidates:
Isabelle Adjani A random search for French actresses yielded her as a result. Apparently, the years have treated her very well. The image to the left is from an ELLE photoshoot from 2001, when she would have been about 46. "Ageless" indeed, but I wonder if it would qualify for the Aes Sedai agelessness? (To see her in more regal attire, move your mouse over the image.) She doesn't match the image of Moiraine I have in my head perfectly, but I could accept her as a Moiraine.

Jennifer Connely For one thing, she doesn't quite have that Moiraine look to me. For another thing, she just looks too young. There's nothing really ageless about her looks. She just looks youthful.

Lauren Graham She's too tall, and the role she's best known for (Lorelai Gilmore in Gilmore Girls) is very carefree and easy-going, but something about her looks reminds me a bit of the image of Moiraine I have stashed in my head.
