Senior Member Interview

Ajah Questions

Why did you choose Gray?

Gray was home. I'm going to quote my aspiration thing 'They made me feel soo welcome! I could hardly believe it! I love spending time with the Grays, and pretty much any time something bad happened to me I know the Grays would help me and I know I got the advice from the Gray Ajah at least once . I think within the first few days of Guesting Gray, I knew it was my home. I just felt so welcome- I didn’t feel like a guest- I felt like part of their family. That was what made me realize that I was home.'

Are you like the Grays in the books? Do you enjoy following politics and mediating disputes?

I feel I am somewhat like the Gray's in the books. I mediate disputes (and try my best to not cause them), but I hate politics and NEVER follow them :P

Do you have a favorite Gray Ajah character from the novels?

I don't actually :look

Favorite book and scene?

I don't think I have a favourite book/scene either :P

I'd love to be an Aes Sedai! So that or a farmer! I love my horses :D
