Interview #979: Reddit AMA 2013, Entry #102

I wondered particularly about, in the epilogue, Alivia leaving the supplies for the body-swapped Rand. I honestly had to go look up Alivia as a refresher upon seeing her name; was she included from Robert Jordan’s draft, and if so, do you think he envisioned more involvement from her throughout A Memory of Light ?

Brandon Sanderson

That scene was indeed one of the ones that Robert Jordan wrote before he passed away, and was include as is. He MIGHT have included her a tad more in other scenes, but the notes were blank on her save for this last scene, so I don’t know. I know for certain that her helping Rand to die meant only leaving the items for him. It was a very small thing that fandom (perhaps by RJ’s design) blew up into something much larger. The characters did too, to an extent.
