Why did you choose Blue?

I feel more Blue than anything else, both in terms of the Blue ideals in the books and on this site.

Are you like the Blues in the Books?

Somewhat, yes. I am very independent, prefer to choose my own paths and causes, and expect everyone else to help enact my great ideas. (I kid...but only a little.)

Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot?

I plan and problem-solve, anyway. I travel as much as I possibly can.

How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

I was a Citizen when that was a new idea. It was okay. When I decided to join the Tower, I spent as little time as Novice as possible. Being a Blue Accepted was great, and I stayed that way for nearly a year.
