First look at fan favourite character Min Farshaw portrayed by Kae Alexander!
As fans of Amazon’s The Wheel of Time are gearing up for the final two episodes of season one, some eagle-eyed members of the fandom have spotted a crucial character from the books hidden inside promotional materials on Prime Video’s X-ray.
We’re talking of course about Min Farshaw played by Game of Thrones alum Kae Alexander.
Take a look:
In the books, we meet Elmindreda Farshaw, known simply as Min in the town of Baerlon. In the show, Baerlon has only served as a brief mention, when Mat Cauthon. (Barney Harris) was questioned by “Dana” in Breen Spring. He would go on to claim that he and Rand. (Josha Stradowski) were both from Baerlon.
Baerlon is a town in Andor, and serves as the closest town to the Two Rivers, where our 5 potential Dragon’s hail from.
With Baerlon all but removed from the show, and the next destination in the show being Shienar before journeying to the Eye of the World, it is safe to assume that Kae’s Min will serve as a Borderland character in the show.
The Borderland nations are Shienar, Kandor, Arafel and Saldaea. The lost city of Malkier was once considered a Borderland nation.
Kae’s Min looks set to have the same tom-boyish charm as her book counter-part, however much like our new Amyrlin, Min also has tattoos displayed across her arms and chest.
What do you think of our Min? How do you feel about our Min becoming a Borderlander in the show?

I have no issue with Min being Asian, or even older than she was in the books.
I enjoyed her portrayal and I think she will do good by the character.
I have two concerns. One, will she and Josha have romantic chemistry like Daniel(Lan) & Zoe(Nyneave)
seem to have. Secondly and not important just my own individual view which probably will be controversial.
Why does she have to have tattoos? She isn’t Tairen like Siuan in the show so it’s not a cultural thing.
I just don’t like that aspect. I realize some will call me judgmental but that’s not appealing to me .
Otherwise, I enjoyed what i’ve seen so far of Min. The relationship between her and Rand in the books is my favorite of the 3 girlfriend plotlines and that’s why I’m so invested, so please forgive me my “narrowness”.
