What makes up a Moiraine

i put her friend count at 0

I love that we are all so passionate . . . well, sorta-kinda, about who is and who is not a Mo friend.

 

I forgot about the head patting! Well, maybe it's a sisterly thing (if she got on better with them). I mean, if her sisters are still alive then why doesn't anyone ever mention them. I think they are holed up in some estate and Mo never writes or calls.

Because they are unimportant. Innloine is probably playing with grand-babies. An was probably smart enough to find some quiet hole. Moiraine probably has her eyes and ears keep tabs and sees this a very valid way to maintain family contact.

Considering the pre-industrial society and lack of widely available running water, maybe petting a lesser woman on the head was like washing your hands?

I think (completely out of the blue and with no evidence at all) that Innloine's whole "kindly" "awesome mother" thing is a facade, and she's tricked even Moiraine, and...

 

okay, I don't know the rest. I just know that she knows exactly which people are Moiraine's eyes and ears and smiles inwardly whenever they check up on her.
