Notably, Parenia kept Sereille Bagand of the White Ajah as her Mistress of Novices, though the name of her Keeper of the Chronicles and her subsequent Ajah are unknown. Sereille served excellently in the same office also during the reigns of the two Amyrlin that preceded Parenia (a Green and a Brown respectively) becoming legendary in this role. Parenia was an Amyrlin of average strength and influence. She was more interested in negotiations and treaties between nations than in the ruling of the White Tower. She still kept fairly good control in order to gain backing for her diplomatic goals.
