  • Why did you choose Blue?

I had a tremendously hard time deciding on an Ajah. In the end I chose Blue because I feel a sense of independence here. With most other Ajahs, there is a dominant vibe/culture that I could easily fall in with, were I so inclined, but none of them fully defined me as a person. I like being able to go my own way, get caught up in what interests me, and still have a sense of camaraderie with others. Blue gives me that.

  • Are you like the Blues in the books? Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot?

Manipulation is something we all do just by living, whether we realize it or not. But do I deliberately set out on a recognized course of action in pursuit of a desired goal or resolution? Sure! All the time! I would rather have a hand in the development and outcome of something than leave it to chance or others. I'm more of a homebody than a traveler though.

  • Do you have a favorite Blue Ajah character from the novels?

Until I read New Spring, no. After, I'm now in the Moiraine fan club.

  • How did you first get into the series?

I got off to a rocky start with the Wheel of Time. I stumbled across a paperback copy of The Shadow Rising when I was in junior high, and I couldn't stand it. So many characters, and I had no clue what any of them were doing. I didn't have access to the first three, so after finishing that one I gave up on it. Sometime in 1995 (because that's when Lord of Chaos was published, and I remember seeing it on the shelf in hardback at a store) a librarian friend of mine pushed the series on me when I was whining about having nothing to read. This was a different library, and they had books 1-5. I read the first and was immediately hooked. I read those 5, got my greedy paws on the 6th, and have read them all as they've come out ever since.

  • Who is your favorite "hero"?

I'm guessing this question refers to the big 3 - Rand, Mat, and Perrin? I'll go with Mat, because the other two annoy me too much. For all of that, I vastly prefer Nynaeve as a character over the lot of them.

  • Favorite book and scene?

Favorites and I have a tumultuous relationship. They change with mood or whim willy-nilly. But right now, at this point in time, not to be confused with 5 minutes from now -- I'm going to go with the scene where Verin reveals that she is Black Ajah to Egwene in The Gathering Storm. Verin was always one of my favorite characters, and this was such a huge plot revelation.

  • If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?

Aes Sedai, totally.

  • What do you do in "real life"?

Right now I'm a full-time student. I am pursuing a B.S. in Middle Grades Education with an emphasis in English/Natural Sciences. In order to help pay the bills, I also work part-time at the public library.

  • Do you have any hobbies?

Many!

  • What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

My current playlist has Rise Against, Avenged Sevenfold, Paramore, Celtic Woman, Incubus, Back On, Silversun Pickups, Adele, Shinedown, Bryan Adams, ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D, Atreyu, and Taking Back Sunday.

  • What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?

Movies - LotR I, II, and III; Robin Hood: Men in Tights; Amelie; Mallrats

Anime - FLCL, Fruits Basket, Air Gear, My Hime, Gokusen, Ouran, Mitsudomoe

  • Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?

It would take me entirely too long to fully answer this question.
