Ayoola Good, who performs Aviendha, agrees that it was all about making a alternative and sticking with it. In spite of everything, Elayne and Aviendha shall be on reverse ends of the world for a lot of The Wheel of Time season 3 anyway, so their kiss may be setting the tone for future storylines. “For a lot of the readers,” Good says, “folks noticed it someway, and we’ve simply made a path. And that’s the place we’re going!”
Take this passage from The Path of Daggers, Jordan’s eighth novel in The Wheel of Time sequence, the place the expression of changing into “sisters” appears a bit greater than familial.
“Elayne stared at her… ‘I don’t must know any extra about you. I wish to be your sister.’ Gently, she kissed Aviendha’s blood-stained cheek. She had solely thought Aviendha blushed fiercely earlier than. Even Aiel lovers didn’t kiss the place anybody may see. Fiery sunsets paled beside Aviendha’s face. ‘I need you for my sister, too,’ she mumbled.”
However that’s eight books in! Within the novels, their sudden closeness could have sprung from a typical attachment to the Dragon Reborn, however that hasn’t been the case in The Wheel of Time sequence… but. Coveney sees it one other method: “I feel their closeness and their bond and their similarities and their variations — there’s a lot in there that basically kinds such a powerful connection between the 2 characters.”
Elayne is inheritor to the Lion Throne of Andor, whereas Aviendha is a soldier, a Maiden of the Spear, for her folks. Nonetheless, maybe an increase to energy, as readers already know, is in each of their futures, which is able to create extra widespread floor for the pair. Within the meantime, we are able to solely anticipate this preliminary expression of mutual affection to blossom later in The Wheel of Time’s unfolding story.
