What is your Tower name?

Narysse a'Jahar

When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?

November 24, 2009.

Why did you choose Brown?

Because I loved the atmosphere in the Brown Sitting Room, and I loved the way the ladies there interacted. I liked the atmosphere of the other Ajah sitting rooms, too, but Brown had a special feel to it.

Are you like the Browns in the Books?

Very.

Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?

Yes to both.

How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

A short bio about yourself.

I grew up on a farm and am very much a crazy cat lady who loves books and yarn crafts. I am currently attempting to map the burial mounds in New York State, a job much more boring than it sounds. I also collect specialty teas, like heirloom black teas and herb teas. When I'm not here I am usually either reading, studying, or working at a local ranch or various local historical museums.
