;Why did you choose Brown?

I was drawn to the Brown ajah because it’s relaxed and doesn’t take itself too seriously while staying focused on what really matters. We also have an excellent sense of humour

;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
 +
 +
The Browns in the books seemed more focused on their thoughts than daydreaming but okay. I used to daydream constantly but I don't really anymore, only occasionally. I don't miss the things in my life that I used to daydream about anymore. And yes, I love books, don't we all?

I would like to be an Aes Sedai tbh. The freedom would suit me. I don't like people telling me what to do. So I would probably be a Blue or Brown, either away or busy in the library
