Senior Member Interview
- What is your Tower name?

- How long have you been a member of TV.net?
Since February 8th, 2007
- How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
Oh, I have loved my time at those ranks. I don't remember all too much about Citizenhood, I do remember that I was rather shy and still not very confident. Then, when I was raised to Novice... It was the time of my life :D I think of all the ranks I liked my time as Novice best. I had an awesome time, getting to know people better (and spamming my head off, shhh!!). When I was raised to Accepted... I knew what I wanted :p. It was fun and it was great to mean a bit more to the site. I had a great time guesting, even though I didn't guest long.
- When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah?
January 17th 2008
- Why did you choose Green?
It was my home. Although Green wasn't the most active Ajah, it always appealed to me most. I got to know the Green Aspirants and the Aes Sedai at the time and I felt that we clicked. That was important to me. When I started guesting I found out that the Greens weren't too active in their Sitting Room either, but when you post a thread yourself or whatever you always get a quick reply, warm and loving replies, whatever the thread's about. The Greens are all wonderful, warm, strong and passionate ladies and I am more than proud to call myself an Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah.
- Do you like to party, love men and are you a sucker for fashion and make up?
I party... Once in a while. I love men *and* women and I love fashion - I care less about make up but I do wear it nearly every day.
- To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
I'm bonded to Anduin of Val'Cueran.
- What things do you do for TV.net?
I made these interviews possible. I've been moderator for Mundane World between July 1st-December 31st 2008. I've also been Heart of the Green Ajah during the same term. Right now I'm working on several projects within the Green Ajah, among which our Green Ajah HQ here in the Library. I've also been in the Hall for two terms and I do lots of other (secret) stuff.
- How did you get to read the Series?
My ex was absolutely fascinated by the books. I wondered what they were about, picked them up and never let go again. I did quickly let go of the ex, though.
- Who is your mentee, if you have one?
Kiana, Shariyan and Amaryla.
- Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
Definitely Mat. I liked Tuon lots too. And Aviendha. My favorite nation would be the nation of the Aiel.
- 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 went to Summer EuroParties 2008 and 2009. They were lovely! I've also been to many many Local Events here in the Netherlands. I have also been to Anni in Wisconsin Dells in 2010, which was a great experience!
- What kind of music do you like?
I like all kinds of music, except for music like gangster rap, hip hop in general, r&b... I'm especially fond of electronical music. I like rock/metal, a bit of pop, jazz and classical.
- What are your favorite movies?
I'm a big fan of movies. I even wanted to be a director, when I was little. I think my all time favorite is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. But I like lots other movies too.
- What job do you have?
I'm a second year at the University of Utrecht and I study Clinical Psychology. I own a little business, too: I make jewelry and sell it on www.manondemonium.com :D
- Do you have a pet?
Yes, although they live at my mom's place. Two pretty cats, named Sylvester and Lucifer.
- What languages do you speak?
I'm a native Dutch speaker, I speak English fluently, a great deal of German and French, tad bit of Spanish but I'm afraid I lost most of it already.
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Vet, dolfin trainer, archaeologist... But also a fashion designer and a movie director. And a writer. I have great ambitions.
- Elayne or Cadsuane?
Cadsuane by far.
- Aiel or Atha'an Miere?
Hard one, I like them both lots. But if I'd really have to pick, I'd pick the Aiel.
- Winter or summer?
