−	;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah?
−	Aug. 16, 2005
−
−	;Why did you choose Red?
−	I was torn between Red and Yellow, but I felt most myself in Red. Even though I didn't have any "close" relationships with anyone in the Ajah at the time, it's just where I felt most able to be me.
−
−	;Are you like the Red in the Books?
−	In a way. I'm very dedicated to my cause(s)and don't mind making sacrifices (i.e. no warder, etc) in order to make those things happen. I feel I am able to adapt, as the Reds in the books do, to changes in my "reality" and try my best to work them in my favor or towards my goal.
−
−	;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
−	I didn't much enjoy being a Citizen. The City was too overwhelming at the time. If the Colorado Clan hadn't adopted me, I'd probably still be a Citizen for lack of SM sponsorship! I loved being a Novice...it was a great time to get to know the Ajahs and who I was on the site. It's also when I began helping the Mistress of Novices. When I became an Accepted I was already a Red, so that was the perfect chance to focus on our group and get to know my Sisters better. Loved it!
−
−	;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
−	Since October of 2004...so a little over 3 years.
−
−	;What things do you do for TV.net?
−	I'm currently the Mistress of Accepted and am the Local Liaison for Anni Party 08. I have been the Local Liaison for Anni before, in 07 as well.
−
−	;Should we be scared because you're Red?
−	Only if people who are straight forward and driven scare you! Otherwise, I (and the rest of the Reds) are pretty nice, outgoing people!
−
−	;How did you get to read the Series?
−	A group of my friends in high school began reading them and we passed them around. Had to wait a year between each book because RJ just couldn't write as fast as we could read!
−	;If Reds could have bonded, do you think you would have?	+	=={{RedHeader2}}Tower Sworn Interview==
−	Probably not. I really don't have that many close male friends on the site. A few, but they are more like brothers to me. I just don't feel the need to bond.
−	;Who is your mentee, if you have one?	+	*;Why did you choose Red?
−	Currently, my mentee is Myriam! And I lurv her muchly!!!	+	I felt most comfortable being myself when I was with the Reds.  I really didn't know any of them well, but the comfort level was still there, so I knew it was the right place for me.  :)
−	;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?	+	*;Are you like the Red in the Books? Do you dislike men? Are you a driven woman with her own goals in life?
−	I would have to say Mat as my overall favorite. Each book someone strikes me as wonderful, but Mat has always been in the forefront. My favorite nation is probably Cairhein...the social and cultural aspects just sort of fascinate me! :P	+	I think in some ways I'm like a book Red.  I'm rather driven in regards to my career and I hold to my belief/ideals even if they go against the grain. I don't hate men at all, I don't really think the book Reds did either. It was more of a coping mechanism so they could do their job.
−	;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?)	+	*;Do you have a favorite Red Ajah character from the novels?
−	Light yes! I've been to 3 Anni Parties so far. I love them! It's the best way to meet people you don't normally talk to on the boards! I have made so many friends from rl things and it lasts even if we don't post much together.	+	Silviana Brehon
−	;What kind of music do you like?	+	*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
−	I love rock and alternative. Some pop (not bubblegum) and rap and country....just not in large doses. Some of my favorite artists are the Cure, Morrissey, Bob Dylan, Fall Out Boy...	+	I started reading the books when the first one came out....so 90/91?  I was in high school at the time.
−	;What are your favorite movies?	+	*;How did you first get into the series?
−	Anything scary....or action/adventury....I like to be excited and involved in some way.	+	I loved reading fantasy, as did a few other friends. One bought the first book and shared. We swapped hard covers all through high school as none of us could afford our own set and we didn't want to wait for them to come out in paperback!
