−
−	;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?
−	August 2007 at Europarty in the Netherlands
−
−
−	;Why did you choose Brown?
−	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.
−
−
−	;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
−	Absolutely.
−
−
−	;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
−	Yes.
−
−
−	;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
−	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.
−
−
−	;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
−	Since 2004, but active again only for about two years.
−
−
−	;What things do you do for TV.net?
−	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.
−
−
−	;How did you get to read the Series?
−	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.
−
−
−	;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
−	Not bonded.
−
−
−	;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
−	I do not yet have a mentee.
		+	''December 22, 2011''
−	;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
−	I have numerous favourite characters. I'm fond of Nynaeve, Verin, Mat, Tuon, Cadsuane, and a few others I find interesting.
−	My favourite nation is Arafel.
		+	*;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.
−	;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?)	+	*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
−	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.	+	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.
−	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.
		+	*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
		+	Saerin
−	;What kind of music do you like?	+	*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
−	I can't narrowly define my music taste. I like a variety of genres, including glam, pop, classical, folk, rock, etc.	+	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.
−	;What are your favorite movies?	+	*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
−	Big fan of nature documentaries	+	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.
−	;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?	+	*;Favorite book and scene?
−	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."	+	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.
−	;What job do you have?	+	*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
−	I currently teach English as a second language in Hungary.	+	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.
−	;Do you have a pet?	+	*;Do you have any hobbies?
−	Yes, only the most adorable cat in the world, Mr. B. Unfortunately, he lives with my parents right now.	+	I enjoy reading and writing for pleasure (not essays or dissertations), running, comic books.
