Kytheria al'Shea
What's your Tower name?
Kytheria al'Shea
When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah?
April 27, 2005
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. I love being Blue.
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; not memorable, really. 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.
How long have you been a member of TV.net?
Since Oct. 23, 2003.
What things do you do for TV.net?
I am a cheeky and personable member of my Ajah; I mentor Novices and Accepteds; I teach classes occasionally; I participate in projects and other site efforts.
How did you get to read the Series?
I was introduced by a family member and by my friend and then-roommate, Katarianna Sedai here at TV.net.
To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
Single!
Who is your mentee, if you have one?
At present, Ayende Sorre, Accepted.
Who's your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I'm partial to Lan and Mat. I wouldn't say I have a "favorite nation" though.
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?)
I attended the Anniversary Party in Corpus Christi, Texas in March of 2006. I had a good time, though I was crazy sick with a bad virus. It was good to see my friends, meet new people, and hang out with members of my Ajah. And go swimming and stay up all night in a giant slumber party atmosphere.
What kind of music do you like?
Good music. No, seriously. Indie, folk, alt-folk and alt-country indie, various forms of rock, underground hip-hop, classical, old-fashioned R&B and so forth. I prefer vinyl to CD, albums to singles, cellos to synthesized pop sounds, and The Books over Bloc Party, for example.
What are your favorite movies?
Labyrinth and Gladiator, to name a couple.
What's the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
Well, there was this one time involving a skunk, a motorcycle, and some nice fellows we met at the bus station... pfft, I don't know.
What job do you have?
I'm a student, working on my Master's degree, and I work at a book and music store.
Do you have a pet?
One cat who can't remember to pee in his litter box.
What languages do you speak?
English, some German, a little Italian.
What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
So many... vet, gymnast, scientist, teacher, doctor, astronaut, ice cream man...

Shienar or Saldea?

Tea or coffee?

Books or movies?

A short bio about yourself.
I'm a college student (still) in the Pacific Northwest of the US. I call Portland, OR home, and I love it here. I like animals and sweaters and good coffee shops and dancing. Thank you.
