Lissandra was a Herald-Mage during the reign of King Randale. She was described as:
"Taller than many men, and brown of hair, eyes and skin, her movements were deliberate, and yet oddly birdlike. She had always reminded Vanyel of a stalking marsh-heron." (Magic's Price)
She was younger than Vanyel, and had been one of the four Web-Guardians since she got her whites.[1] Her specialty was alchemy, poisons and their antidotes.[1] This was supposedly the cause of her death. She had apparently put the wrong vial on a burner by accident, and was overwhelmed by the fumes before she could get the window open. While it was deemed an accident at the time, Herald-Mage Vanyel later discovered that the "accident" had been arranged by Leareth as part of the final stage of his campaign against Valdemar's mages.
Lissandra's Companion, Shonsea, died at the same time. She was found at the northern end of Companion's Field. She appeared to have been running, then fell and broke her neck.
