General
The Ageless Look is a feature Aes Sedai develop after wearing the shawl between two and five years (ACoS, Ch. 24). It is described as having a smooth face, which an observer cannot easily put an age to. It is most likely caused by the Oath Rod as one of the effects of this is to feel a tightening of the skin (NS, Ch. 11; TPoD, Ch. 26) and women who don't swear on the rod, such as forsaken, Wise Ones, damane, Windfinders, novices, Accepted, Wilders and the kin do not have it. When a woman is stilled, they quickly lose the look (CoT, Prologue).
Aes Sedai without it
There were a total of at least five Aes Sedai who kidnapped Rand that were too young to have the look.
- Amico (though there is some confusion here as Aviendha observes she loses the look after being stilled).
- Sareitha
- Turese
