With the Blues, I found my home. I was drawn to the amazing ladies of the Blue Ajah as a Novice... and as an Accepted beginning my visitations, I learned how wonderful they really were. I feel like Blue is family.. No matter where you go, they're always ready to welcome you back.

'''Are you like the Blues in the Books?'''

;Are you like the Blues in the books? Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot?
 +
To some extent, yes. I do plot, but I'm not all that manipulative. I also do travel often, especially for work these days.
  
−
I think so, in ways. I do tend to plot and scheme all the time. I've always traveled a lot, mostly to perform places (I'm a musician,) but also to support causes such as Habitat for Humanity or with the US Army.
+
;Do you have a favorite [[:Category:Blue Ajah Characters|Blue Ajah character]] from the novels?
 +
Pretty predictable answer, but I do love [[Moiraine]] and [[Siuan]]!

'''Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot?'''

Since around April of 2006.
  
−
As detailed above, I sure do. If I gave you anymore details, I'd have to kill you. :) *taps her fading halo*
+
;How did you first get into the series?
 +
A friend kept harassing me into reading them and I finally gave in.
  
−
'''How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?'''
+
;Who is your favorite "hero"?  
 +
Probably [[Perrin]] or [[Egwene]]. Some of the others are too annoying.
  
−
It was pretty good. I made some great friends as a Junior Member and learned a lot from all the Senior Members before me. I was mostly nervous and new as a citizen; as a Novice, I was cheerful and mischievous, and never could quite accomplish getting a penance. As an Accepted, all my time was geared towards becoming an Aes Sedai, so I suppose the JM career was pretty fun!
+
;Favorite bad guy/gal?
 +
[[Lanfear]].
  
−
'''How long have you been a member of TV.net?'''
+
;Favorite book and scene?  
 +
That's hard to choose!
  
−
About a year and a half. Since May 2006.
+
;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
 +
Probably an Aes Sedai. I always wanted to be magical so bad, so that would be the most logical place for me.
  
−
'''What things do you do for TV.net?'''
+
;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
 +
When I started reading the books, I thought the first one was pretty awesome and wanted to find out more about it. I stumbled across TarValon.net during a google search and figured I'd join. I stayed because I loved the people here and made so many friends, and I really loved the forums and wanted to be a real part of them.
  
−
I'm currently a Reporter for the Tar Valon Times and an Eyes and Ears for the Department of Communications.
+
;What do you do in "real life"?
 +
Work, mostly. I'm a full-time paralegal/medical NCO for the Army National Guard. I also spend a lot of time with friends when I can.
  
−
'''How did you get to read the Series?'''
+
;Do you have any hobbies?
 +
Shopping! I also enjoy reading, obviously, along with everyone else here. I try to travel as often as I can and love finding new places and restaurants to visit.
  
−
A friend talked the series up for years, and I won't show interest. So finally he sat me down in a chair and wouldn't allow me up until I'd read some of the first book. I still wasn't too impressed, but by then I was vaguely curious as to what happened to the main characters. Before I knew it, I was hooked. Oy.
+
;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
 +
Broadway musicals, 80's, classic rock, some oldies, and some newer artists... I just despise almost all things rap and R&B.
  
−
'''Who's your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?'''
+
;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?  
 +
Movies: Stardust, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, anything Disney, P.S. I Love You, just about ANY sappy romantic comedies, etc. Television Shows: Glee, Once Upon A Time, Army Wives, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Awkward., Smash.. I think there's a few others.
  
−
Elayne, probably. I think her moodiness is pretty funny. Pfft, that's what crazy Rand gets for trying to deal with 3 women, most guys can't handle 1!
+
;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
 +
The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Southern Vampire Mysteries, almost anything by Dean Koontz, Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks.. Divergent, The Sword of Truth series... I'm currently on a strange young adult fantasy/horror/whatever kick and a huge dystopian novel kick as well.

I wanted to be a concert pianist at first, and then I mostly just wanted to perform with Broadway musicals in the pit orchestras. Somehow, I wound up in the military. Close enough.

Several. I've been to Dragon*Con a couple of years in a row, and then a few small local events. I loved them. They're both great in their own ways. D*Con is a little hectic, but you get to meet a lot of Tower people at once... Whereas the local meetings are... well, quieter, sort of, but definitely help to build a stronger bond between you and the other attendees, as there's more private time to just chat. I definitely recommend attending future events. After talking to the members everyday online, it's great to be able to attach a real person to the illustrated face.

I'm 22 years old and attending college in Alabama. My major is Music and Criminal Justice, minor is military science.

I'm obsessed with sparkly things, butterflies, and teaching myself strange projects. I'm also engaged to a wonderful guy named David, and I'm pretty excited about that!
