==Who am I==
 
  
I'm Kathryn, 24 years old, and currently living in Knoxville, Tennessee working on a Masters in European History. I live with my husband, Reese, and our cat "Kitty Girl." My interests include good coffee, cats, history, popular culture, comics, used book stores, and the idea of being a vegetarian.

===Current===
  
I identified best with Browns when I read WoT years ago, and once I found tv.net, the Browns didn't disappoint. A lot of the other Ajahs seemed to be needier. And I don't mean that in a negative way - it's just that it seemed some expected you to post more, to be more involved, and to have a certain Ajah identity. I didn't get that vibe from Brown.

I like different aspects of most of the Ajahs and definitely have some White, Blue, Red, and maybe even Yellow in my personality, but like others have already said, Brown is more encompassing of who I am. Even if the composition of our Ajah shifted, I know I would remain be Brown.

;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?
 
August 2007 at Europarty in the Netherlands
 
  
 +
*;Why did you choose Brown?
 +
There was no other choice for me. The Browns on this site are a wonderful group of women (and Warders). We're diverse and laid back.
  
;Why did you choose Brown?
+
*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?  
Although I love the other Ajahs, there was no other choice for me. I enjoy research and learning. In addition, the Browns on this site are the most laid back and intelligent group of women. I'm obviously biased.
+
Yes. I'm working on a doctorate in History and I work part-time at a bookstore. My life is books. Hopefully, I'm not as frumpy as some of the Browns portrayed in the books though.
  
 +
*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
 +
Saerin
  
;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
+
*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?  
Absolutely.
+
I first read Eye of the World when I was thirteen, so nearly fourteen years now.  
  
 +
*;How did you first get into the series?
 +
My dad picked the first book up for me, though he has yet to read them.
  
;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
+
*;Who is your favorite "hero"?  
Yes.
+
I'm partial to Mat.  
  
 +
*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
 +
I have to actually remember characters?  I don't know. All of the Forsaken seem pretty petty. I like a little more complexity with my villains.
  
;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
+
*;Favorite book and scene?  
I loved every stage of the Tower, though being a citizen could be frustrating because of all the spam. It was wonderful getting to know different people in the Tower at each level. Being a Novice and Accepted was wonderful as I met some people who are now close friends.
+
The first is probably the best, but then again, I haven't read it since I was thirteen... I did really enjoy the scene in (was it Crossroads of Twilight?) in which Tuon completes the marriage ceremony with Mat.  
  
 +
*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
 +
Seanchan innkeeper. I would be very good at honoring the Empress, may she live forever.
  
;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?  
Since 2004, but active again only for about two years.
+
I happened upon it after one of the books was published in 2004 and later returned to the site in 2006. Our community is diverse and a wonderful place to meet amazing people from different parts of the globe.
  
 +
*;What do you do in "real life"?
 +
I'm a poor graduate student and teaching assistant. In short, I do a lot of reading, complaining, grading, and BS-ing.
  
;What things do you do for TV.net?
+
*;Do you have any hobbies?  
Right now, I'm working on a research project for the Tower library, though it has been put on hold while I apply to graduate school. I hope I contribute in a positive way.
+
I enjoy reading and writing for pleasure (not essays or dissertations), running, comic books.  
  
 +
*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
 +
Eclectic. Anything from Bach to Elvis to LCD Soundsystem.
  
;How did you get to read the Series?
+
*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?  
I discovered the books when I was about thirteen. I loved fantasy and adventure at that age and so I picked up Eye of the World and was hooked.
+
I love Miyasaki's work: Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc., Goodbye Lenin!, the usual nerd fare, like Star Wars, LotR. A few television shows I enjoy are Arrested Development, Mad Men, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Batman: The Animated Series, The Wire.  
  
 +
*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
 +
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami I don't know - I read a lot of history. It's very difficult to list just a few books...
  
;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
+
*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?  
Not bonded.
+
Veterinarian. I love animals.

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
+
;Hogwarts house?
I have numerous favourite characters. I'm fond of Nynaeve, Verin, Mat, Tuon, Cadsuane, and a few others I find interesting.
+
Slytherin
My favourite nation is Arafel.
 
  
 +
;Myers-Briggs type?
 +
INFP last time I checked, but I sometimes think this is what I *aspire* to be... not what I actually am.
  
;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?)
+
;D&D alignment?
I attended Europarty this past year, and I loved it. I was raised to Aes Sedai so it was a very positive experience. Everyone was warm and friendly and it was great putting faces to posts.
+
Neutral good
It's really up to the person if they want to attend a real life function. It is a time and money commitment and can be intimidating, but it's also a fantastic experience and a great way to meet people from all over the world.

;Favorite color?

Blue or Gray

I can't narrowly define my music taste. I like a variety of genres, including glam, pop, classical, folk, rock, etc.

 +
I suffer from comic book movie fatigue at the moment. But Thor.
  
;What are your favorite movies?
+
;Favorite Star Wars character?
Big fan of nature documentaries
+
Really, really difficult to choose one. In the new films, I like Kylo Ren, but I think it's because of Adam Driver. Probably Obi-wan. If you had asked me when I was fifteen, I would have told you Wicket or Logray the Ewok Medicine Man. :p

There have been too many embarrassing stupid things I've done to count. I'm not a huge risk taker though, so not too many "crazy things."
