Question: who is the little girl holding 'the Dark One's' hand at the darkfriend social?

I have no idea and am wondering if anyone else does. Unraveling the Pattern points the girl out in his trailer breakdown on his youtube channel. It's really hard to see in the original trailer without brightening the shot a bit.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea that Liandrin has a secret daughter. It's a stretch, though. Liandrin doesn't seem to be as happy with her choices as she was in the books.

That, or it could be the girl we see with Perrin.

That's a theory I don't think I've heard before. What gives you secret daughter vibes?

Edit: replied from notifications without looking at context. That's an interesting idea. Could be the child of anyone present though, doesn't have to be Liandrin specifically.

Yeah, this idea is original to my crazy mind. It comes from the looks of utter emotional agony and the steeling herself we see from her in the trailer. People are suggesting it's her mourning Kerene.

But you're right. She just seems the person present most likely to benefit from encouragement in the S2 plot.

I did not see a free chair for the Little girl among the darkfriends. So I don't think she is a high ranking darkfriens of some sort.

I think she could be ransom that Fares Fares is using to get a darkfriend to do something against their will.

Another theory I have, a bit out there, is that it could be a certain forsaken masked through the Power. Fares Fares might be introducing the Little girl to later reveal she's a Chosen, to warn the darkfriends that now everything they do will be watched, and they can't escape the Chosens' eyes.
