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!!).

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.

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... I think of all the ranks I liked my time as Novice best. I had an awesome time, getting to know people better. When I was raised to Accepted, I knew what I wanted. It was fun and it was great to mean a bit more to the site. I had a good 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?

I felt comfortable. Although Green wasn't the most active Ajah back then, 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 wonderful, strong and passionate ladies and I am 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. I've worked on several projects within the Green Ajah, among which our Green Ajah HQ here in the Library and I have coordinated our Big/Lil program. I've also been in the Hall for three terms and I do lots of other (secret) stuff.

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

Definitely Mat. I liked Tuon a lot as well. And Egwene, later in the books. 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. 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 nice experience.

What kind of music do you like?

I like all kinds of music, except for music like hip hop and r&b. I'm especially fond of electronical music. I like rock/metal, a bit of pop, jazz and classical.

Aiel or Atha'an Miere?

Hard one, I like them both. But if I'd really have to pick, I'd pick the Aiel.

Winter because of the cosiness. Summer because it's nice and warm but I hate the bugs.
