−	;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah?	+	{{fb2004}}
−	The first time I was raised January 2003, and the second time August 14, 2005.	+	{{fb2007}}
−	;Why did you choose Red?	+	{{jcon2019}}
−	I went Red because the Ajah holds the same values that I do: Inner strength; Independence; Sisterhood; Self reliance; and getting the job done no matter what.	+	{{jcon2023}}
−	;Are you like the Red in the Books?	+	==Tower Sworn Interview==
−	I used to not think so, until I genuinely looked at who the Reds are in the books. I believe they are similar to our Ajah now, however, because they have many of the same traits. They are independent - they don't feel the need to have a warder. They do their job despite being disliked for it. Since being a Red at TarValon.net, my view of the book Reds has completely changed. Now I think they pretty much rock!	+	''January 16, 2019''
−	;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?	+	;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
−	My time as a Citizen was fun. I was coming back from being a Retired Senior Member, so I already knew many people on the site. That probably made my time a little easier than others, since I didn't have to get to know people and find sponsors. My time as a Novice and Accepted was really fun too.	+	Approximately 18 years.
		+	;How did you first get into the series?
		+	I was searching my local used book store for new fantasy books, and I liked the look of Eye of the World.
		+	;Who is your favorite "hero"?
		+	Moiraine with Egwene a close second.
		+	;Favorite bad guy/gal?
		+	The Aelfinn and Eelfinn made interesting antagonists.
		+	;Favorite book and scene?
		+	Hmmm, I think The Shadow Rising was my favorite book. Favorite scene is probably Egwene’s rebellion in the Tower toward the end of the series.
		+	;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
		+	Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah! But the kind that travels around recording knowledge.
−	;How long have you been a member of TV.net?	+	;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
−	I believe this week (around September 29 or 30) is my 5 year anniversary. Of course, there were a few months in there where I was retired, so subtracting a few months I would say I have been a member for almost five years.	+	I’m pretty sure it was a google search, and I decided to stay because I fell in love with the community.
−		+	;What do you do in "real life"?
−	;What things do you do for TV.net?	+	I’ll let you know when I finally figure that out.
−	I have been a Sitter a few times. I have been a Mentor. I have been the Heart of the Reds. And I post tons of pictures of my beagle Ella!	+	;Do you have any hobbies?
		+	Knitting, sewing, baking, hiking, camping, fountain pen stuff, photography.
		+	;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
		+	All sorts! From Bowie to K-Pop to musical theater.
		+	;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
		+	Time Bandits, Akira Kurosawa films, Studio Ghibli films, Aliens, Dune, and lots and lots of anime.
		+	;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
		+	Jane Eyre, NK Jemisin novels, The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss, The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, Middlemarch, Octavia E Butler novels, The Calcutta Chromosome by Amitav Ghosh, Harry Potter, American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
		+	;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
		+	I wanted to be all sorts of things… but first and foremost, I wanted to be a fighter pilot.
−	;Should we be scared because you're Red?	+	<!--
−	Nope! The Reds are a lovely bunch of women. Don't be scared, and try to get to know them.	+	==Super Official and Srs Bzns Brown Interview==

−	;How did you get to read the Series?	+	;What's your blood type?
−	I saw the Eye of the World at a used bookstore and thought Moiraine was cute. Then I read the back cover and thought it sounded fabulous - so I bought it.
−	;If Reds could have bonded, do you think you would have?	+	Salty and a little sweet.
−	Bonding is simply not for me.	+
		+	;Zodiac sign?
−	;Who is your mentee, if you have one?	+	Libra.
−	Calenthe te'Veile, who is a Novice, and Eliana Alarwyn, an Accepted.	+
		+	;Hogwarts house?
−	;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?	+	Hufflepuff.
−	My favorite character is Moiraine, and my favorite nation is Cairhien.	+
		+	;Myers-Briggs type?
−	;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?)	+	INFJ.
−	I have attended a few, and I highly recommend them. You finally get to see face to face the people you talk to almost every day online. Plus, they're lots of fun.	+
		+	;D&D alignment?
−	;What kind of music do you like?	+	Lawful good.
−	I like just about every genre of music, if the particular song is appealing to my ears.	+

−	I edit and help maintain a website on Buddhist films.	+
		+	;Favorite baby recipe?
−	;Do you have a pet?	+	Baby potato & veggie stew in the winter time, with a side of cornbread.
−	My lovely beagle named Miss Ella. Three cats - Wicket, Maverick, and Parker.	+
−		+	;Favorite member of the MCU?
−	;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
