Birgitte Silverbow is a character in the Wheel of Time series of fantasy novels written by the late Robert Jordan. A hero of the Horn of Valere, she usually resides in Tel'aran'rhiod until The Pattern spins her out into the world. She was ripped out of the dream world and thrown bodily into the waking world by Moghedien when she tried to help Elayne Trakand and Nynaeve al'Meara fight Moghedien. This would have killed Birgitte Silverbow if Elayne Trakand had not bonded Birgitte Silverbow as a warder.
