Hyain Robere, Senior Member Interview, February 14 2008

What is your Tower name?

Hyain Robere

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

January of 2006 I believe.

Why did you choose White?

The Whites were great to me. I loved talking to them. The Ajah just felt right.

Are you like the Whites in the Books?

I can be. Sometimes I am cold and logical. I like the philosophy of having everything make sense, but often in my real life I let emotion get the better of me. And, actually, the whites have a very small role to play in the book, so it's harder to compare to them.

Are you like a rock and have a serene face all the time? I don't have a serene face all the time, no. But I suppose I can sometimes be like a rock.

How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

My time as a citizen was great. That was back when we still had apartments in the city and stuff. It was really different. I met so many people and was on here all the time. My time as a novice and an accepted wasn't bad, but it wasn't as fun in comparison. It was also drawn out due to my age.

How long have you been a member of TV.net?

Since September of 2004. Over three years now.

What things do you do for TV.net?

Almost nothing, honestly. I'm very inactive and focusing on real life at this point.

How did you get to read the Series?

It took me almost a year to read it. I started because other people I knew had read it, and I like fantasy.

To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?

I am not bonded.

Who is your mentee, if you have one?

I have never had a mentee.

Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?

Favorite character: Nynaeve. Favorite nation: Cairhein

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 haven't attended a formal function, but I have met people in RL who I only know through the site.

What kind of music do you like?

I like rock and alternative music mostly.

What are your favorite movies?

American Beauty and Brick.

What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?

I don't think I've ever done anything as crazy or as stupid as I would have liked to, unfortunately.

What job do you have?

I am a barista and a novelist.

Do you have a pet?

Yes. A dog.

What languages do you speak?

English and French.

What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?

Architect.

Randland or our world?

Our world.

Alviarin or Seaine?

Alviarin.

Books or movies?

Both. Some stories need to be told in words. Some need to be told through images. That's that.

Candles or lamps?

lamps.

A short bio about yourself.

I'd rather not.
