Interview Jan 30 2008

What is your Tower name?

Melana al'Cairera

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

I first signed up in November, 2001, then was a member for four years, was away for one year and came back about... oooh... 7-8ish months ago.

How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

The first time around, I was a novice for a week and Accepted for five. I don't remember much of it, actually, though I know I had fun. This second time around is fresh in mind, and it's been awesome! I have made some very good friends, and I've had a helluva time. =D

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

November 2nd, 2007. =D

Why did you choose Green?

I've felt so comfortable with and welcomed by this Ajah ever since I returned to the community, which played a major part in me choosing Green this time around. Other factors played in too though, like... finding the perfect fit. N such. It's hard to explain. =)

Are you like the Greens in the Books?

Not really, no.

Do you like to party, love men and are you a sucker for fashion and make up?

I'm not very fond of partying, though once in a while is okay, men amuse me, I choose comfortable clothes rather than clothes that are "in", and I hardly ever wear make-up. =P

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

Janos Audron and Toral t'Simoua Delvar

What things do you do for TV.net?

At the moment I'm taking a well-deserved break *cough* but I have served as Sitter, Tower Voice, Ajah Head, Mistress of Novices, Master of the Watch and Director of Moderators.

How did you get to read the Series?

Well, when I was like 12-ish, I saw the first book at the store and really liked the cover art. =P A year later, I found the book at the local library, and decided to try it out. You can imagine the rest.

Who is your mentee, if you have one?

Right now, my mentee is Mellyn al'Baya. Earlier, I have mentored Lyoness Sedai of the Blue Ajah and Eveanyn Sedai of the Red Ajah.

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

Favorite character is Moiraine. At first, I only read the series for her character. My favorite nation... that's harder, I think they're all so weird!!

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?)

Yes I have, one official one and one unofficial one! I loved them, it was like meeting up with family you didn't know you had. Kind of. And I think people should go to future functions because if they don't, they'll miss out on something rather great!

What kind of music do you like?

My favorite artists are Alanis Morissette and David Bowie. I tend to lean towards pop and rock, though I like some heavier stuff too. And rap. Like Eminem. OOoh, and I'm a sucker for musicals. =P

What are your favorite movies?

I have so many of them... the LotR trilogy, Finding Nemo, Cruel intentions, Pan's Labyrinth, Kill Bill vol 1, Scooby Doo 1 and 2, the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Stardust, Taran and the Black Cauldron, Sleepy Hollow, Emperor's New Groove, Sin City, Evolution, Spirited away.... sooooooo many. I'm also a Buffy series addict. =D

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

Devoured over 1 liter of Baileys in one night at a Tower Party. =(

What job do you have?

I'm a student.

Do you have a pet?

Yes, a very strange cat named Nala.

What languages do you speak?

Norwegian and English, and I understand languages like Danish, Swedish and French.

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

Firewoman, lawyer, vet, policewoman and doctor. All at the same time!

Elayne or Cadsuane?

Why do I have to choose? I like both!! Though Cadsuane is a bit scary, yes she is!

Aiel or Atha'an Miere?

Aiel! Probably because I know them better than I know the Atha'an Miere.

Winter or summer?

Winter!! Love snow and the lack of bugs! =D

Day or night?

Night. I'm a night owl, my head's clearer at night, and I get things done then.

A short bio about yourself.

Letsee... My name's Victoria and I'm 26 years old. I live in Bergen in Norway where I'm a student at the local university. My current goal there is a bachelor in information science.

I love stuff like painting, knitting, crocheting, drawing... and I also love to read. Among my favorite authors you'll find Anne Bishop, Stephen King and, of course, Robert Jordan.

I love love love to travel, though I've not really seen much of the world just yet. My favorite places that I've visited so far, are Lisbon in Portugal, Chicago in the US and London, England. I've had such a great time in those three cities! =D
