 +
:;Ajah Questions:
 +
;Why did you choose Blue?
 +
I gravitated toward Blue because it's the Ajah I identified with most in the books. Then, the more I got to know Blues on the site, the more it felt like home.
  
;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
+
;Are you like the Blues in the books? Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot? Do you have a favorite Blue Ajah character from the novels?
Long. But good. Citizen: nonexistant. Novice: excessively silly. Accepted: A little more grown up, I hope -laughs-.
+
Siuan is my favorite Blue character from the novels, by far. I don't  manipulate to the degree that the Blues in the books do, but I care a lot about politics and try to do my part to move the needle towards progress. I can be a bit plotsy, I guess -- I love surprising people with gifts, planning events, and organizing adventures.
 
 
 
 
;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
 
I always forget. Somewhere between three and five years? I have no idea. Two or three weeks less than Ninya has.
 
 
 
 
 
;What things do you do for TV.net?
 
Currently, not a lot other than the occasional rant in CE. In the past I've tried to do more, but lately "real life" has been keeping me busy.
 
 
 
  
;How did you get to read the Series?
+
;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I saw the first book in the bookstore, and I was drawn to it.
+
Ninya recommended the site to me after I joined her WoT RP site many, many years ago. I stayed because the people became like family.
  
 +
:;Book Questions:
 +
;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
 +
I first read the books when I was 12 years old, and recently started my first re-read.
  
;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
+
;How did you first get into the series?
Camden.
+
A clerk at the local book shop recommended The Eye of The World to me. If he could only know how much it changed my life!
  
 +
;Who is your favorite "hero"?
 +
Nynaeve.
  
;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
+
;Favorite bad guy/gal?  
I don't have one.
+
Not sure I have one.
  
 +
;Favorite book and scene?
 +
Too hard to choose!
  
;Who's your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
+
;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?  
I'm honestly not sure. It's been a long time since I've read them.
+
I'd like to think I'd be an Aes Sedai, of course.
  
 +
:;General Questions:
 +
;What do you do in "real life"?
 +
I'm currently a graduate student.
  
;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?)
+
;Do you have any hobbies?  
I haven't attended any functions yet, but I'd really like to. I would love to get to meet the people behind the usernames. This site is so special - it's full of eloquent, intelligent, silly, loving people. It's rare to find an online community so.. civilized and caring. I would really love to become a part of it in person as well.
+
Photography, writing, getting out in nature.
  
 +
;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
 +
All kinds! But a lot of electronica lately.
  
;What kind of music do you like?
+
;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
A lot of different things. I like bluegrass and acoustic music.. then random "indie" music, some rock, some techno.
+
Veronica Mars, Buffy, Orphan Black, The 100, to name a few.  
 
 
 
 
;What are your favorite movies?
 
Rocky Horror Picture Show, Empire Records, MirrorMask, Good Will Hunting, Frida, Igby Goes Down, Rent, Lord of the Rings, Spirited Away, Pan's Labyrinth, A Love Song For Bobby Long, Pieces of April, Dorian Blues, Amelie, Garden State, Howl's Moving Castle, Little Miss Sunshine, V for Vendetta, Paradise Now.
 
 
 
 
 
;What's the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
 
I've done a lot of crazy and stupid things. Craziest? Probably falling in love with someone I met online. Though, not crazy in a negative way. :) Stupidist? Probably the time I was caught having a picnic on top of the elementary school roof.
 
 
 
 
 
;What job do you have?
 
I work at a local toy store.
 
 
 
 
 
;Do you have a pet?
 
Yep! A cat named Gus.
 
 
 
 
 
;What languages do you speak?
 
English and an ever-diminishing bit of Spanish.
 
  
 +
;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
 +
The Bone People by Keri Hulme, Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
  
 
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
 
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I've always wanted to be a writer. Now, I'm not so sure.
+
An author. Or a spy.
 
 
 
 
;Moiraine or Siuan?
 
Not sure.
 
 
 
 
 
;Shienar or Saldaea?
 
I have such a terrible memory.
 
 
 
 
 
;Tea or coffee?
 
Tea.
 
 
 
 
 
;Books or movies?
 
Both. I like books more, though.
 
 
 
 
 
;A short bio about yourself.
 
My name is Lucy, I'm 18 and from North Carolina. I'm currently taking a year off between high school and college. I'm interested in writing, women's studies, politics and history. I have no idea which I'll choose to major in. I love to travel, paint, write, etc. I'm incredibly excited to be moving across the country to Portland next year.
