Tower Sworn Interview

December 22, 2011

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.

Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?

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

How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?

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.

Who is your favorite "hero"?

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.

Favorite book and scene?

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 did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?

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 any hobbies?

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.

What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?

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...

What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?

Veterinarian. I love animals.

Super Official and Srs Bzns Brown Interview

July 12, 2019

What's your blood type?

O-

Zodiac sign?

Pisces

Hogwarts house?

Slytherin

Myers-Briggs type?

INFP last time I checked, but I sometimes think this is what I *aspire* to be... not what I actually am.

D&D alignment?

Neutral good

Favorite color?

Blue or Gray

Favorite cryptid?

I'm partial to the Chupacabra or the Jersey Devil. I blame X-Files.

Favorite member of the MCU?

I suffer from comic book movie fatigue at the moment. But Thor.

Favorite Star Wars character?

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

Favorite letter?

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