== Appearance and Characteristics ==
Seons take the form of floating orbs of light, each with a glowing [[Aon]] at their core for which they are named.{{book ref|Elantris|2}}{{book ref|elantris|part=ars}} There is only one seon for each Aon.{{wob ref|14410}} They are described as "small"{{book ref|Elantris|2}} and "melon sized".{{book ref|Elantris|2}} Seons have control over the level of their brightness,{{book ref|Elantris|17}} and they often pulse while speaking or laughing.{{book ref|Elantris|5}} It can be difficult to discern their Aons through the light without close examination.{{book ref|Elantris|2}}{{book ref|Elantris|32}} Seons appear the same in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref|sa4|115}} Seons are tangible, although they weigh very little; they cannot pass through solid matter.{{wob ref|7816}} [[Hrathen]] believes that seons need to sleep.{{book ref|Elantris|12}}
Each seon has an individual personality. They are generally agreeable, but can be affected by stress.{{wob ref|2068}}{{book ref|sa4|115}} Raoden and Sarene each note that their seons are incredibly wise.{{book ref|Elantris|5}}{{book ref|Elantris|10}} Seon personalities are very similar to those of humans and they are able to convey emotions easily; they may even have superstitions.{{book ref|Elantris|2}} It appears that through unknown methods, seons can be mentally abused or afraid.{{book ref|sa4|115}}
