The Wheel of Time(2021-) has just entered its second season, with more planned to come.

The second season introduced a slew of new characters, as well as brought a few established ones back.

10Loial

Loial (Hammed Animashaun) can be pretty intimidating when you first see him.

Despite Loial looking like a monster at first, he turns out to be quite the gentle giant.

He has no interest in fighting, preferring instead to bury his nose in books.

He is fascinated by history and geography, and has a very heartwarming presence.

9Nynaeve al’Meara

Nynaeve (Zoe Robins) is the hot-headed Wisdom of Emond’s Field.

She can have a fiery temper at times, but this proves to be an unwilling asset to her.

The Aes Sedai observe her as beingvery powerful with magic, but she cannot use it yet.

This is because she can only use it when she is angry.

But when she does unleash her power, it’s really something to behold.

However, her temper can sometimes be seen as annoying.

Rand often sacrifices himself just to protect his friends.

Furthermore, he completely understands the gravity of his situation, and how serious things actually are.

7Perrin Aybara

Perrin (Marcus Rutherford) is another young man from the Two Rivers.

He may not understand his power, but it is certainly a useful asset.

Another important thing about him is his willingness to help.

Despite her young age, she is pretty fiercely independent, and extremely resilient besides.

5Elayne Trakand

Elayne Trakand (Ceara Coveney) is a new character introduced in Season 2.

She is the princess of Andor, the realm that encompasses the Two Rivers.

She is very kind, perhaps one of the kindest characters on the show.

She can see glimpses of people’s future whenever she looks at them.

These visions always come true.

She has a decent sense of humour and fun, but above all, is compassionate and understands boundaries.

Which is fitting, because that’s exactly what happens when he’s first introduced.

2Matrim Cauthon

Matrim Cauthon, or simply “Mat” was initially played byBarney Harrisin Season 1.

However, Harris decided the role wasn’t for him, and he wasreplaced byDonal Finnfor Season 2.

Mat is a guy who doesn’t particularly like adventures.

What he likes most is bending the rules and causing mischief.

This makes him a great comic relief character, but also a great example of an unwilling hero.

1Moiraine Damodred

Between fans of the books, many dislike the show, while many enjoy it.

The fact that she can do magic is secondary to nearly everything else about her.
