:;Ajah Questions
−
 
 
−
''Alyria Savoinya, Senior Member Interview, February 5th 2009''
 
−
 
 
−
;What is your Tower name?
 
−
Alyria Savoinya
 
−
 
 
−
;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah?
 
−
August 2008
 
−
 
 
 
;Why did you choose Gray?
 
;Why did you choose Gray?
−
I felt like I could be "me" with these ladies. If I needed to break down and cry, I knew they would be there. If I was excited over something trivial, I knew they would be excited for me too. I knew if I needed help, they would have my back. Sisters is the only word that fits; they are my sisters.
+
First and foremost, it was (is) a smaller Ajah. I knew I needed a smaller group to be a part of because there was a lesser possibility of cliques, as well as they generally come with a warmer atmosphere, which I crave in a circle of friends.
−
 
 
−
;Are you like the Grays in the Books?
 
−
Occasionally. I always see both sides of a situation, which allows me to mediate effectively. However, I try to avoid such situations whenever possible. :p
 
−
 
 
−
;Do you love politics and do you like to discuss a lot?
 
−
I do, and yes I love to discuss politics, but only with those who understand that discuss does not mean "fight," and that it's possible to disagree respectfully.
 
  
−
;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
+
Secondly, at the time the Grays were sending out "invitations" to guest to the Accepteds. We're still doing this currently, but for me it was a big deal to get a special hello from an Ajah. Gray was the only one doing that at the time.
−
Too short! I never realized the freedom of being a citizen until I was a novice, and then I rushed through novicehood too. I loved being an Accepted, though. It is a wonderful time of self-discovery and I loved the Guesting process.
 
  
−
;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
+
When I Guested, I just knew. I could say anything I wanted without fear of being judged. The sense of humor was consistent with my own, and there was an immediate "I like them, they like me" feeling. Gray was clever, funny, and close-knit; all things I was looking for in a group of Sisters.
−
Since early June of 2007.
 
  
−
;What things do you do for TV.net?
+
;Are you like the Grays in the books? Do you enjoy following politics and mediating disputes?
−
I am in the process of ending my term as Heart of the Gray, I am part of the new Welcoming Committee, and I am an operator in tv.net's #wheel. All jobs I love, and never want to let go of!
 
  
−
;How did you get to read the Series?
+
I'm not sure if this questions refers to the collective "you," or to me personally, so I'll try both.
−
My husband forced me into it. I wanted nothing to do with fantasy novels, but to appease him I read the first, and was hooked.
 
  
−
;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
+
I'm similar to the book Grays because I like to have my fingers in everyone's pie. Pun entirely intended.
−
I have two lovely mentees, Ilyana and Aduiavas.
 
  
−
;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
+
I don't like following politics or mediating disputes, but I find myself doing both often. As far as mediating disputes, I have a hard time being "Gray" about it if it's something I'm taking a personal interest in or someone I care about is being hurt. In that case I have significantly less tact, but everything generally gets resolved.
−
My favorite is Elayne, because I am most like her, minus the spoiled aspect. I like Tear the most, because the Fortress is just too cool.
 
  
−
;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?)
+
As a whole we're similar to the book Grays because collectively, I feel we have an appreciation for the "laws" of the site and dislike seeing them broken. We all have a strong sense of justice running in our veins, and can become outraged when certain rights are trampled on.  
−
No official Tower functions, of yet.
 
  
−
;What kind of music do you like?
+
;Do you have a favorite Gray Ajah character from the novels?
−
Girly music, like Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco.
+
Nope.  
  
−
;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
 
−
I left Canada to go to school in the US to be near my now husband! Not a stupid thing, though, he's wonderful. :D
 
  
−
;What job do you have?
+
:;Book Questions:
−
I work at a Holiday Inn, and am hoping to make a career of it.
+
;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
 +
Since 2004.  
  
−
;Do you have a pet?
+
;How did you first get into the series?
−
I have two kitties, a Lucy and a Mimzy.
+
My husband (Alaren Tane) sort of forced me to read the series. I really don't much care for fantasy, so I played along, and then I was hooked.
 +
;Who is your favorite "hero"?
 +
Birgitte. I like a chick that can handle her beer.
 +
;Favorite bad guy/gal?
 +
Verin.
 +
;Favorite book and scene?
 +
When Elayne and Avidendha become first sisters. I effing tear up every time.
 +
;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as?
 +
As a Gray Aes Sedai plotting and Daes Dae'maring in ways that would make a Blue's head spin.  
  
−
;What languages do you speak?
 
−
Just English. I can read and understand French perfectly, but don't ask me to speak it!
 
  
 +
:;General Questions:
 +
;What do you do in "real life"?
 +
I am an auto claims adjuster.
 +
;Do you have any hobbies?
 +
I brew beer.
 +
;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
 +
That's a loaded question. I like everything. My teenage years were metal and grunge, I love Neil Diamond and Dolly Parton, and currently listen to a lot of Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, umm...lots more...this is sounding like a dating site questionnaire.
 +
;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
 +
Hell I don't know. I've seen every episode of Friends? I like everything Joss Whedon has done minus Dollhouse. I really don't know how to answer this.
 +
;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
 +
Well, my favorite period to study is modern American, from WW1 to current. Literature during the American Revolution and the American Civil war excites me, too. Steinbeck is my favorite author. There are a number of short story writers I love, too.
 
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
 
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
−
I wanted to be an interior designer. I had the most awesome bedroom when I was a kid, all of my own design.
+
An interior designer. I should have went with that instead of a useless English degree. -->
−
 
 
−
;Lanfear or Moghedien?
 
−
Lanfear, she is way sexier.
 
−
 
 
−
;Seanchan or Shara?
 
−
Shara.
 
−
 
 
−
;Candles or lamps?
 
−
Lamps. How can I see to write otherwise?
 
−
 
 
−
;Party or lounging at home?
 
−
How about a party at my home?
 
−
 
 
−
;A short bio about yourself.
 
−
I am about to graduate with a degree in English Literature, but I will not pursue it as a career. I read constantly, and write poetry on the side. As a hobby my husband and I brew beer. I am relaxed, lazy, and comfortable with myself, and love people. I miss the East Coast of Canada where I am from (where my family is) but I am growing to love the part of the US I am in. I love tv.net. :D
