Senior Member Interview, January 3, 2010

Revised September 13, 2011


Why did you choose Gray?

There are many reasons I chose Gray. Of all these reasons, knowing I have a home where I am not judged and am accepted for who I am -quirks, history and faults included - is what made the choice so easy for me. What I bring to the Gray Ajah is only as good as the amazing things that they bring out in me. They are my Soul Sisters and I could not ask for a better group of Women (and Men) to be a part of.


Are you like the Grays in the Books?

I have a bit of every 'Ajah' dispersed in my personality. Some good and some bad. I am Blue in my drive for a cause and justice. I am Brown in my OCD for books, order and my general love of the written word. I am Green in my fierce loyalty to my sisters and I will draw swords to protect what needs saving at the cost of my life. I am White in my addiction to philosophy and and the more worldly questions that question the mind and challenge how we live out lives as a whole. I am Yellow in my ability to heal the Soul, support and aid in ways that sometimes defies the laws of medicine or even logic. I am Red in my fight for a stronger world by protecting Humanity with making the decisions that are hard to make. And last but not least I am Gray in my hope for peace, good will and an understanding of others that are far different than myself, even if my views are different and do not agree with theirs.


Do you love politics and do you like to discuss a lot?

I actually abhor politics and avoid it when I can. I grew up with learning a lot of the politics in the church and school systems and found I disliked it immensely. However, I play politics like a Blue. Easily and subtly and generally it goes unnoticed. It's hard for me not to see the threads and manipulate things to the better, or use things to my advantage. It's not a manipulation tactic but more a self preservation.


How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

Touch and Go. I can't say that I had a horrible time because it is untrue, however it wasn't the easiest for me either. Something about too many eyes and too many rumors. However I have been steadfast and am now rewarded with a Lovely Gray Shawl and the best Ajah any Aes Sedai could ask for.


How long have you been a member of TV.net?

I joined in August 2007, but I faded away when I realized for one, I wasn't anywhere near done reading the books at the time, and I had responsibilities elsewhere that took priority. However, a year later it took a little nudging by Mother herself to get me back and active. I thank her every day for her nudges.


What things do you do for TV.net?

I have done a lot of varrying projects around the Tower, from siggie making back when I was a Resident Citizen to helping organize threads and even still I keep active in the Tower. *points to her involvement* I don't plan for my activity to change anytime soon.


How did you get to read the Series?

A [ex-]boyfriend actually got me interested in Fantasy. Wheel of Time was just one of many series that wet my tongue in this genre. This was way back in 1999-2000. I joined another WoT site and it pretty much cemented my love for the world. I read up til book 4 when I put it down for many years even though I was still 'very' active in various communities. I did not complete reading it, however, until 2007 and then once again in 2009 when TGS was released. I delightfully await the next edition.


Who is your mentee, if you have one?

I have three Mentees, two are Novices and one Accepted. Kerowyn al'Sindar, who is very busy with her Real Life, Alyssa Letherio, a Yellow demotee who I've found to be far too similar in humour to myself, and my beautifully independent Areandara Zukari'th.


Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?

Typically, Egwene is my favorite just due to the sheer volume of character development of her character. Suian is also a favored character with her pairing with Gareth. My favorite Nation at first was Tear. Then it changed to Cairhien, to Andor and then lastly to the Aiel. However I love each fairly equally and spend more interest in the Cairhien Academy than any individual Nation.


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?)

I was invited into the TV.net party rooms at the D*Con 2008, where I was delightfully molested by Mother, bitten without flinching by Red & Esteban. This is also where I met my Significant Other, James Davion. I was raised to Accepted at the 2009 Anni Party in Seattle (area).

Since being raised to Aes Sedai I have attended two D*Cons in 2010 and 2011.

I highly recommend attending RL functions. Not only do you learn more about the Tower on a personal scale, but the Tower learns that little bit more about you. These are fantastic people and why would you not want to get to know them. Just be prepared to know when to be 'mum' and to always have a bottle of rum handy for the wayward Browns.


What kind of music do you like?

World, Poetically Dark, Ambient, Goth, Opera, Lyrical If you want a Playlist, you won't have enough room here.


What job do you have?

Currently I have no job, although I do have a diploma in Web and Graphic Design, and will not be able to work until I am able to apply for a GreenCard, which will not likely happen for a while yet.

I aspire to be a Novelist.


Do you have a pet?

I have a Husband.


What languages do you speak?

English and 'some' Japanese. However I'm very rusty with the Japanese.


What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?

Equestrian Veterinarian, or a Teacher.


Lanfear or Moghedien?

Neither, I'm a Graendal Fan.


Seanchan or Shara?

Shara. Women are in charge and I can Channel without wearing a collar.


Candles or lamps?

Definitely Candles!


Party or lounging at home?

Lounging, unless the party is intimate with great friends.


A short bio about yourself.

Web Designer, Artist and Writer; I dabble in various things that also include music, crafting and the occasional moments of satirical humor. I'm an avid RPer and reader and hope to one day be published with a series of my own. Other projects include; WoT Tarot Deck, Ajah Beaded Bookmarks & Knitting.
