'''Why did you choose Green?'''
  
−
;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
+
It just felt right. There was no guesting program when I was coming up through the Tower, so choosing an Ajah was much different.  Luckily, I knew myself well enough to choose wisely.
−
Three years on December 15, 2007.
 
  
−
;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
+
'''Are you like the Greens in the books? Do you like to have fun with men? Are you a fierce warrior?'''
−
I was really bad at being a Junior Member. I enjoyed getting to know many of the people who joined around the same time as me. We've defintiely stuck together a bit. However, I prefer to be a Senior Member. I don't think I was mistreated, or anything like that. I really did have a good time. I'm just not good at being subservient to anyone. However, I advise all current JMs who might feel the same way to fake it. Don't be a snot just because you have to call someone so-and-so Sedai or Gaidin.
 
  
−
;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah?
+
I definitely fit the profile.  I never got the idea that the Greens in the books were necessarily promiscuous. It was more that they were more accepting of many lifestyles, and perhaps because of their warrior mentality; more aware that life can be short.
−
I was raised at the 5th Anniversary party in Corpus Christi, Texas. The date was March 17, 2006.
+
 +
'''Do you have a favorite Green Ajah character from the novels?'''
  
−
;Why did you choose Green?
+
I like the group as a whole more than I like individual characters in the Ajah. There are some things about Cadsuane I like, but there are other things about Greens like Myrelle and Alanna that I prefer.
−
Because I know myself very well. I'm a strong b*tch. I'm assertive, passionnate, and smart. I'm a fighter, not a giver-upper. Yes, a lot of people have difficult things in their life that they must fight through, but that doesn't automatically make them Green. It's when that fighting bit is one of your strongest characteristics that you're Green. I don't like to do things that I'm not excited or passionnate about, but I'll do them if I have to. And, lastly, the Green Ajah is a great group of ladies and I felt (and still feel) that I fit in extremely well with them. Oh, and men? Greens appreciate that men and women are different. Greens find men to be wonderful and capable partners. We don't want to sleep with all of them, however.
 
  
−
;Are you like the Greens in the Books?
+
'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
−
I am exactly like most Greens in the books. I'm mercurial, tempermental, haughty, bold, outgoing and perhaps less fastiduous (spelling?) then women from other Ajahs.
 
  
−
;Do you like to party, love men and are you a sucker for fashion and make up?
+
I started reading Eye of the World in 1999, so since then. I was a junior at the University of Michigan, and needed something fun to read. For some reason, I didn't get much schoolwork done during my first read of the then-eight book series.
−
Well, yes and no. I like to party when I'm with the people I love best. I don't like to party every night, or even every weekend. I do love men. They're wonderful, as a whole. However, there's only one man I want to sleep with. Sorry, guys. :P I happen to adore fashion and makeup, but those aren't my first priorities. My dream job is to show people how badly they dress and fix them. I am guilty of being a fashion bum on occasion, though.
 
  
−
;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
+
'''How did you first get into the series?'''
−
I'm unbonded.
 
  
−
;What things do you do for TV.net?
+
My evil college roommate recommended it to me. I think that's the only good memory I have of her.
−
I try to help out where I can. I've contributed Library articles. I've welcomed newbies. I answer a lot of questions for people. I try to make sure that I am a knowledgeable member of this community, so that I can answer questions accurately.
 
  
−
;How did you get to read the Series?
+
'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''
−
My evil college roommate got me into them. I honestly think that was the only nice thing she ever did for me.
 
  
 +
Probably Mat, but it took a few books for that to happen.  I also have had a lot of love for Nynaeve and Moiraine from the beginning.  I never warmed up to Egwene until the past couple of books, though.
  
−
;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
+
'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
−
I was mentoring Aavyn, Accepted of the Gray Ajah for a bit. However, she's now found her Ajah and I'm ready for a new one.
 
  
−
;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
+
Lanfear.  I like her rebellious attitude.
−
My favorite character is Nynaeve because I see a lot of me in her. I'm just not that extreme! My favorite nation is Saldaea. I admire their boldness and admiration for various skills, such as being a warrior and a poet or musician. I think they are a true renaissance people, to tell you the truth. I wouldn't mind living there.
 
  
−
;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?)
+
'''Favorite book and scene?'''
−
I've been to many RL functions. I love them to a point. They're wonderful parties and I always enjoy myself, but I'm always happy to go home afterwards. I like getting to see friends that I rarely get to see, due to long distances. People should come because I like people better in RL. People who annoy me on the site sometimes surprise me in RL. At parties, I don't really care about the schedule of events, or contests, or whatever entertainment is provided. I just want to hang out with my friends.
 
  
−
;What kind of music do you like?
+
I have so many, I could never pick.
−
I listen to all kinds of music, mostly rock. However, I also like Hip Hop and 80s music.
 
  
−
;What are your favorite movies?
+
'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
−
Casablanca is my favorite movie. Although I love all kinds of movies, they don't make them like they used to.
 
  
−
;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
+
Definitely an Aes Sedai.  The White Tower scenes are some of my favorite in the series.
−
I've done many stupid things. However, I have a reputation to maintain. If you catch me doing something stupid, fine. But, if you don't see me, you don't get to know unless I know you very well.
 
  
−
;What job do you have?
+
'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''
−
I'm currently unemployed, but I'm looking for a job in market research, preferably automotive. I'm looking in other areas, like health care and media, too, though.
 
  
−
;Do you have a pet?
+
I think I found the site on a random WoT Google search in 2004.  I stayed for two reasons.  The first being that I have always wanted to be an Aes Sedai since I first read the series. The second being that the people here are awesome.
−
Yes, I have a cat named Shay. He looks like a cow and is a big mama's boy.
 
  
−
;What languages do you speak?
+
'''What do you do in "real life"?'''
−
I speak English and a little French.
 
  
−
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
+
I'm a restaurant server, but I'm trying not to be one anymore.
−
I wanted to be a teacher. Lord knows why.

+
'''Do you have any hobbies?'''
−
Cadsuane, definitely.
 
  
−
;Aiel or Atha'an Miere?
+
I enjoy watching sports, especially football and hockey.  I obviously like reading.  I relax by doing crossword puzzles.  I love beer, wine and food.  I'm a big history nerd.  Mostly, I just like spending time with people I like.
−
Aiel!
 
  
−
;Winter or summer?
+
'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''
−
I like Fall best.
 
  
−
;Day or night?
+
I don't really listen to new music at all anymore, because it's lame and boring.  I love classic rock and punk music.
−
I like afternoon and evening.
 
  
−
;A short bio about yourself.
+
'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''
−
I'm Eireann, or Erin. I live in Michigan, near Detroit. I'm an alumna of the University of Michigan, which is the best university in the world. I enjoy watching sports, playing soccer, shopping, reading, spending time with my friends and dissing people's outfits (but it's because I want to help them!).
+
 
 +
I enjoy adventure movies like the original Star Wars trilogy and Raiders of the Lost Ark. My favorite TV shows are How I Met Your Mother, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Criminal Minds, and Game of Thrones.
