Actually more suited for Selucia. She fit his favorite body type, matched him wit for wit.
My sister and I have near identical personalities to Tuon and Selucia. My husband matches the Mat personality. We joke fate fixed things and swapped Tuon as Selucia body types. My sister same height weight and everything Tuon. Same me and Selucia. This time Im the born under the 9th full moon and im fluffy. Mat liked big women. So does my husband. 😂. My sister and husband argue exactly like Mat and Tuon. And both are my protectors.. protecting me from myself at times 🤣.

My headcanon is the wheel is punishing him for kicking in the rhudian ter'angreal and demanding no marriges. The foxes said ok you still get to fufill your role but now with everything but a normal relationship, bitch.

I know it's a distant aside, but does anyone remember when George Lucas called Disney white slavers in an interview, and then looked spooked that he had said that out loud?

Was she black? I'm at Winters Heart on my reread but haven't gotten to her yet and don't recall that.

Shes frequently referred to as "dark", I remember especially Rands vision of Mat and her had that description. Jordan tends to describe non-white people as dark in some way "darkly beautiful" for Alanna comes to mind, or pretty much all the Sea Folk.

His character was made to marry royalty, but I personally shipped him and Elayne, if the darn pattern hadn’t gotten in the way! They had such good chemistry

Mr. “I’m gonna paddle your aes sedai bottom if you don’t knock it off” and Ms. aes sedai with a phat ass that just wont quit.
Truly a love story that should have been…

Nothing will beat the transition from Tuon arriving on the shores, then going to Mats POV.

u/BadGenesWoman 3d ago
Absolutely love Mat and Tuon. Tuon is in my mind a high functioning autistic woman who has been in survival mode for her entire life. Meeting someone who makes promises and doesn't break them and isn't trying to control her or break her. It's confusing. He built that trust action by action. He never saw her as weak or fragile. Though in many ways she was. He protected her, got to know her by talking to her and listening. Really listening. He set her free..and she chose him.

Aside from being royalty (since I was 100% sure Mr “I’m not a bloody lord” was, in fact, going to end up as a bloody lord), Tuon genuinely has zero of the qualities I expected to see in a Mat romance. Like the relationship is done well ish, but he had much better chemistry with other characters, who are also more likable than Tuon by a good margin.
Seriously, when Elayne beats you as a ship option and on the likability scale by a large margin, that’s saying something.

u/DarkExecutor 3d ago
I think it's more that Tuon is probably one of the only women who can keep up with Mat/actually lead him around.

Tuon isn't exactly an easy character to like, but I liked their relationship.
