*;Why did you choose Red?
 +
They were the only group that challenged me to be myself and yet still grow to be better, stronger, and independent.
  
;What is your Tower name?
+
*;Are you like the Red in the Books? Do you dislike men? Are you a driven woman with her own goals in life?
Ariana Sulan
+
Yes^3. I wasn't originally, but I have grown to be this way over the past 7 years. I don't hate men, I just don't have the time or interest to tolerate bullshit from anyone. I plan to get somewhere high in life and achieve many great accomplishments, which means I must work my ass off now in order to get there. This really doesn't leave much time for a social life outside of my school building. Guys will just have to chase me down later in life when I start to slow down a little in chasing my own goals.
  
;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah?
+
*;Do you have a favorite Red Ajah character from the novels?  
January 1st, 2009
+
It's been so long since I read the books that I don't even really remember now. I think I disliked nearly all of them except Pevara.
  
;Why did you choose Red?
+
*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
It felt like home, and they are probably the only ones who can keep my ego in line.
+
I'm not really a fan of the books, I'm just a fan of many of the people here in this community.
  
;Are you like the Red in the Books?
+
*;How did you first get into the series?
Crap, yes. Gosh, I am so bloody stubborn, and I almost always think MY WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY.
+
I only had one friend at the time and I was jealous of her bragging how awesome the people were here, so I read the books to join too.
  
;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
+
*;Who is your favorite "hero"?  
Long. I was lazy, and I pretty much don't care about rank. I was happy to remain an Accepted forever--they had to kidnap me and take me by surprise in order to raise me to senior member.
+
Egwene. She was annoying the first half the series, but as soon as she, *ahem*, "stepped up", I started to better enjoy her character. I can see a lot of myself in her.
  
;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
+
*;Favorite bad guy/gal?  
Since September 3rd, 2004.
+
Hey, if anyone can manage to kill Rand, they'll be my favourite.
  
;Should we be scared because you're Red?
+
*;Favorite book and scene?  
No, you should be scared because I'm clever, devious, and playful.  
+
I quite like anything with Mat, Tuon, or Egwene later on in the series.
  
;How did you get to read the Series?
+
*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I knew someone who had already joined the community, and the people here seemed great.
+
Probably either an Illuminator because I'm very secretive, and very serious about my craft, or a Blue Aes Sedai who has her hand deep in the politics of nations.
  
;If Reds could have bonded, do you think you would have?
+
*;What do you do in "real life"?  
Probably not.
+
I am a student at a serious design school in downtown Toronto, Canada. My major is Illustration, but currently I tend to focus more of my energy into broadening my skills with concept design and problem solving of social issues. I work long hours at my school, often staying 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. I also try to volunteer at various events and causes whenever I have openings in my schedule.
  
;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation? 
+
*;Do you have any hobbies?  
I quite like both Egwene and Mat, but only later in the series.  
+
Networking, volunteering, event organizing.
  
;Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?
+
*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?  
I haven't been to an official event yet, but I go to see the Michigan tower members several times a year. I love partying with tower members, everyone accepts each other and no one is fake. People should go to tower functions because they will form some of the most valuable relationships they'll have in their life.
+
I listen to a lot of classic rock while I'm working, but I also enjoy experimental electronic music such as projects like AWOLnation or the whole subculture of dubstep.
  
;What kind of music do you like?
+
*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?  
Almost everything. I am however the most partial to acoustic covers, indie, and post-grunge. I maintain that 96-99 were the best years for music.
+
I adore clever movies such as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Amélie, Jeux D'Enfants, but my television shows tend to be more on the cheesy dramatic side so I can laugh at them. Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, Nikita, and of course my love for Doctor Who.
  
;What are your favorite movies?
+
*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?  
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Amélie, Jeux D'Enfants
+
Uglies, The Book Thief, Gunnerkrigg Court
  
;What job do you have?
+
*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?  
Currently still in school for my degree in Illustration, but I also do graphic design and wedding photography on the side to help pay bills.
+
Artist or writer. I'm growing up to be both.
 
 
;Do you have a pet?
 
No, but I really want a big dog. I don't have one because it just wouldn't be fair to keep one cooped up in my tiny apartment. :(
 
 
 
;What languages do you speak?
 
English and only enough French to not get lost in France.
 
 
 
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?  
 
I wanted to be an artist or writer. I guess I followed through on that!
 
 
 
;Elaida or Pevara?
 
Pevara. I see a bit of myself in her.
 
 
 
;Shadar Logoth or Manetheren?
 
Manetheren... I'm all about pride and roots. (I'm so Canadian it hurts :D)
 
 
 
;Roses or Lilies? 
 
Roses, duh.
 
 
 
;Dogs or cats?
 
I definitely prefer dogs. I am too much like a feline myself, it makes it nearly impossible for me to get along with cats. I want a big dog one day that will drag me down the street as I walk it. :D
 
 
 
;A short bio about yourself.
 
I'm a tall, energetic art student living in downtown Toronto, Canada. I make it a personal endeavour to make each day an adventure, and this has led to me become a well-rounded, easily adaptable person. I am often out trying new things, going new places, meeting new people. I love to go out with friends to chat over a pint of guinness, read comics, eat sushi, drool over good typography, and I will always help someone in need. I am also that person who will become your friend during an elevator ride. :)
