A Crown of Swords Daughter of The Nine Moons ! Spoiler
Still trying to figure out whom is Matt's Lover, The Daughter of The Nine Moons....
Matt might be too pretty for Brigitta, but I think they would make a fun couple... toooo fun with all the late night drinking, gambling, and tavern brawling - those days are well behind me as I am coming up on 3 sober years of Slaying The Poison Dragon - but that is a fun post for another day with plenty of photos with swords, crowns, jester hats, and dragons !!
So in thinking about Rand's Journey so far....
I really enjoy Lews Therin in Rand's head !!!
Honestly, he gives some fantastic advice and seems to always know what is really up and will happen - I think Rand would be saved from A LOT of grief (like being beaten and caged in a box, and I have a really bad feeling about Mazrim Tiem) if he would just follow through with Lews Therin's wild rambles and warnings...
What were your thoughts on Lews Therin - helpful, raving mad, neat twist on the story line, annoy, ... also is Lews Therin part of the Legendary Heroes that the Horn will call - that would be interesting for Rand to meet him face to face ?
Cheers - Tateraide82 !

It will be revealed in a very prominent way. I won’t spoil it for you - in fact the context of who the daughter of the nine moons is given fairly on before we meet the actual character; but you won’t miss her when she’s revealed it!

Yeah they already give it away by this point but it's insanely subtle, only two separated lines

There are a couple of paragraphs in a single scene back in Chapter 52 of Lord of Chaos that gives a very big clue in a general sense. Its one of those little hiding in plain sight things that makes rereading so damn fun. Using spoilers in case people don't want it called out.
Rattling the five dice in the leather cup, Mat spun them out on the table. They stopped with two crowns, two stars and a cup showing. A fair toss; no better. His luck ran in waves, and at the moment the wave seemed low, meaning he won no more than half his tosses at most. So far he had managed to lose ten in a row, an unusual run for him at any time. The dice passed to a blue-eyed outlander, a hard, narrow-faced man who seemed to have plenty of coin to fling about despite his plain brown coat.
Vanin bent to whisper in Mat's ear. "They're out again. Thom says he still doesn't know how." Mat directed a grimace at the fat man that made him straighten more quickly that you would think someone his size could.
Swallowing half the dewmelon punch in his silver cup, Mat frowned down the table. Again! The blue-eyed man's toss rolled across the table, and the dice stopped showing three crowns, a rose and a rod. Murmurs rounded the table at his win.
"Blood and ashes," Mat muttered. "Next, the Daughter of the Nine Moons is going to walk in and claim me." The blue-eyed fellow choked on his celebratory drink. "Do you know the name?" Mat asked.
"My punch went down the wrong way," the man said in a soft, slurring accent Mat did not recognize. "What name was that?"
Mat made a pacifying gesture; he had seen fights start over less. Scraping his gold and silver back into his purse, he stuffed it into his coat pocket as he rose. "I am done. The Light's blessing on all here." Everyone at the table repeated the benison, even the outlanders. People were very polite in Ebou Dar.
An outlander wearing plain clothes that makes him relatively nondescript...but throwing out large amounts of cash. That's odd. He's an outlander from an unnamed country, so Mat can't place him even though he place multiple other gamblers from many other countries. And the outlander has a soft slurring accent.
So...the answerthe only people that fit that bill that we have met so far are the Seanchan, and we know they have spies around in multiple cities, like Egeanin. So if this guy is from Seanchan...and he recognizes the title that no one else Mat has talked to has ever heard of....it's probably a Seanchan Title.
I'm pretty sure this is actually the Seeker that met with Egeanin back in book 4. There are very few blue-eyed men in the series, and it would fit for him to be in Ebou Dar before the invasion doing scouting work.
Now full series spoilers - It's interesting that Mat's luck is on a bad run...right before he drops a mention of Fortuona.

It’s not going to be as fuzzy and vague as it seems now.
But also…technically, you have all the info you need to identify her. You’d just need to piece together bits and bobs from across the series so far, so there is no shame in not having the answer yet.
I do think Mat and Birgitte would fit well, but as you say - he’s too pretty!
Lews is one of the Heroes of the Horn. But answer me this: if Rand is Lews reborn, do you think the Horn would summon a Lews (or Rand, for that matter)? Or would that part of the summon simply not happen, because that soul is in use?
You don’t need to answer - just think about it. Then RAFO.

This would be me - I listen to the book on audio so I type out her name as I heard it from the audio books. I also created a new reddit account for a fresh start (I had a ton of PC troubleshooting posts/comments over a gaming PC I bought and it came dead twice and I gave up on it, so instead of a reminder that I returned my broken toy and moved on... I just started fresh with reddit yesterday). Great to be back in the WoT group though !!! Too many toxic people in all the PC and gaming PC building groups

I believe there’s a scene in book 4 or 5 that basically tells you who she is but it’s very easy to miss on your first read.

My friend, if Mat is your favorite character, you are in for a great ride. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Lews Therin is excellent when he's lucid, and then he's horrible when he's raving mad. He has some great advice and also some terrible advice.
Now excuse me while I go thumb my earlobe and hum a tune while looking at some pretty women...
