;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the White Ajah?
+
*;Why did you choose White?
−
On February 29th, 2008. I can't believe I had to look that up. :blink
+
I had said in my last interview that it just "felt right". This still holds true. It really did fit me well. I tried all the Ajahs. I really felt like I could have joined any of them. They all had a little part of me. But the truth is, when I thought of not going back to the White Ajah halls..... EVER..... well, I just couldn't take that thought. I missed being there and my second guesting sealed it for me.  
  
−
;Why did you choose White?
+
*;Are you like the Whites in the Books? Are you a logical woman with no time for emotion in her life?
−
From the moment I set e-foot into the White halls, I knew I was home. Everything fit. I was comfortable posting, I didn't have to work to be "one of the girls", I had something to contribute and could take something away as well. I just knew it was where I belonged. Oddly enough, I thought it would be the one place I DIDN'T belong, so I guested there first. :p I still tried all the others, but came back to my heart's-home.
+
Nope. I can be logical. I can be extremely logical and I will use logic and reason to find the root cause of any event. But I have emotion, use emotion, and am sometimes ruled by emotion. Like a Cairheinin..... what is bottled up sometimes comes out in reckless abandon..... So I tend to NOT bottle it up.  
  
−
;Are you like the Whites in the Books?
+
*;Do you have a favorite White Ajah character from the novels?
−
Sometimes, yes. I can be completely logical in my search for cause. I am also VERY calm in stressful situations. But in most ways, no. I let my emotions play a HUGE part in what I do and how I react to things. I feel before I think and act on my feelings a lot. And it can get me into trouble..... like catching crazy people who jump off the top of beds at work when they think I'm trying to kidnap them.
+
I don't have, but if I did I would probably choose Daigian. I mean, she was cool enough to hang with Cadsuane (whose character I love) AND bond an Asha'man.
  
−
;Are you like a rock and have a serene face all the time?
+
*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
−
Not at all. Actually, I'm usually smiling like an idiot. :D I love to smile and make people happy by doing it. Serenity is good, don't get me wrong, but happiness is better.
+
I've been stuck on them since 1992, I believe.... Maybe 1993..
  
−
;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
+
*;How did you first get into the series?
−
Oh wow!! It was the greatest. I spent as much time on here as I did doing anything else. I made great friends whom I still speak to all the time, I pulled a couple of great pranks, I started some good threads, and I found my calling in being on the OEC team..... of which I'm now the Coordinator. :)
+
The Librarian at my city library gave me the first few books and told me to "come back when you're done reading" thinking that I'd be gone for a while.... It took me about a week. lol
  
−
;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
+
*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
−
I joined on November 23rd, 2006. So just under 3 years. :D
+
Hard to decide... It varies from Cadsuane to Egwene, to Mat, to Tuon... Just depends on my mood I guess...
  
−
;What things do you do for TV.net?
+
*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
−
Well, I'm the Online Events Coordinator, as I said earlier. I'm also the Heart of the White ajah at this time, although that will be rotating through soon. I also serve as a moderator for several threads in my site position. I've done some graphics, some writing, and some goofing off. :D I hope they all added to the site some. :)
+
Totally love Alviarin and Moghedien....
  
−
;How did you get to read the Series?
+
*;Favorite book and scene?
−
I went through every other book in the library of the little town I grew up in and the Librarian handed me the first book and said "This should keep you busy for a while". It was in 1993, so the first four books were out and the 5th was on it's way..... Of course, she was wrong. I read the first four in a little over a week and came and asked where her next challenge for me was. lol
+
This I couldn't tell you. There are so many parts that I love, I can't pick... I can tell you my LEAST favorite scenes are street descriptions....  
  
−
;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
+
*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
−
No bond at this time. :(
+
Probably have to say a Domani merchant... who is a retired Aes Sedai or a Kin member... Yay!
  
−
;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
+
*;What do you do in "real life"?
−
My most recent Mentee was Slaine. I haven't gotten another yet. Slaine's a hard act to follow. :p
+
I'm a critical care nurse in a hospital in Oregon. I work ICU, ER/Trauma, Cardiac care..
  
−
;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?

−
No, not a big one anyway. I met up with Serenla, Cassie (my mentor), Khisanth and Lyinar in Atlanta while I was down there as an accepted, and then had a small local gathering at my house, too. I've also met a couple other people, most notably my best friend Tsubasa, who came and stayed with me. :D
