Eveanyn Says:

I chose the Red Ajah because I can be my true self. I don't have to hide my personality or my likes and dislikes. I don't need to keep secrets from my sisters because I know that they will always treat me fairly. If their opinions differ from mine, they will tell me without sugar-coating it, but they will not blatantly be rude to me. We always keep a high level of respect in our Ajah, and we demand the same from anyone who wants to join. We don't have Warders in our forums; all we have is each other, so we guard each other well. We will always support one another if needed (unless she's doing something stupid, then we'll tell her she's being stupid and help her fix it).

I believe that what our Ajah stands for can be embodied in the symbol of the rose. It is a beautiful, living, growing thing that smells sweet and may look delicate. It is hardy, though, with strong stems for support when faced with opposition. And no rose is complete without its thorns. It may prick you at the same time you're enjoying the sweet, delicious scent, and somehow you know that the pain is delivered in love, which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Red Traditions

We as an Ajah strongly value our traditions! Those below we share publicly; others are revealed only to those who attain the Red Shawl.


UVLB

Most of you have seen this floating around in Red signatures. Most people have no idea what it means. This is one we get asked about a LOT! Given that, I wanted to let you know that this is something we share with ladies upon Aspiration. If you have aspired and want to know what it means, please email or PM the Head of Ajah.

Confusion & Aspiration

When someone aspires to the Red Ajah, we ask them to post a confusing thread in General.

Whips, Wax, Chains, Bites, etc

One of the stereotypes is evil, violent Reds. To play with that, some Reds joke around about whipping, waxing, biting, chaining, etc and use pictures of those type things in their sigs. It's a way of mocking the stereotype. Some Reds don't feel comfortable with this and don't do it. Whether or not a Red does this is completely up to her.

Real Life Raisings

When someone is raised to Red Aes Sedai at a big party, we try to get them a bunch of stuff for being the new "Baby Red". It goes along with the "Baby Red" signature that new Red Aes Sedai wear. This usually involves bibs, pacifiers and bottles that must be worn for the remainder of the evening. Of course, this assumes another Red is at the event who remembered to bring the stuff ...

Red Flowers

When you meet another Red for the first time, you exchange Red flowers. Sometimes it's a real flower, and sometimes it's an object

Torturing Barbie

Found an explanation of this one posted by long-lost Red Mar'Alex, the originator of the tradition, on the old boards: Ok. Here is the Story of Barbie as it was.


I was then an Acepted and Masayna Sedai from the Red Ajah was my mentor.

We were in an adult chat playing Thruth or Dare and as I was an Acepted she told me to be there but to behave. So I was sitting in a corner sometimes making bad jokes about what was happening.

She was so tired of me she gave me a Malibu Barbie. I looked at the dool with disgust, but then she offered me a mini-set with torture objects, so I started torturing Barbie. I liked torturing Barbie!!!

She gave me another Barbie then, so I could train my arts on both. And she also gave me a lighter!!! So I melted both Barbies together so they could be really close to one another.

Everyone liked it so much that I stared being known by my Barbies and she set me a Dolls house full of Barbies on the Hallways. There she would give me dools and I would "play" with them and drink tea. Those were good times.

When I went to EuroParty in England I took Barbie with me. Yes, I real Barbie and I tortured her alive. We have lots of pictures of her being tortured. It was to be my Acepted Project.

Barbie even made an appearence on the boards, and she brought to Ken's with her. They were really popular and she never understood why people didn't like her.

She loves Relk (and there are several pictures to prove it) and she lives still in my dugeon, but she escapes from time to time and trouble arises.

As I choose the Red Ajah, Barbie come with me and she even visited my dugeon from time to time. I was from then the Mistress of Barbies.

Oh! I still have the Barbie I took to England, dressed the way we dressed her there. and the pics of it, lots of pics.

Marriage

Since we don't have any Warders, one Valentine's Day we all decided to marry each other. You will often see us affectionately call each other "wife". In fact, we renewed our vows in 2009; the Greens were our Bridesmaids and Dralyn officiated!

Fluffy Bunny and Other Mascots

- Fluffy Sedai and Fishy Gaidin: Yenie's pets who are unofficial mascots of the Red Ajah. Fluffy Sedai is her cat--she even has her own Red shawl!

- Fluffy Bunny: there's no real bunny. However, Yenie used to tell us we cursed too much. So she set up a code so that every time someone tried to post a curse word, it was replaced with the phrase "fluffy bunny". You'll often see us use the phrase "fluffy bunny" instead of the F-word.

- Happy Bunny: Ah, sarcasm and a bunny! It was meant to be that a lot of us consider Happy Bunny an unofficial Red mascot

Symbols, Quotes, Sayings, Songs, Etc

Not every Red uses all of these, but some common ones

- Red Rose

- "The Red Ajah is like a frozen snickers bar - in one word, awesome. Kind of tough to chew through, might break your teeth, but it leaves you thinking, 'Whoa. That was amazing!'"

- “I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.” ~ Madonna
