−
−	'''Why did you choose Brown?'''
−
−	I am Brown. I know that's a cop-out answer but that's why! I just feel like I fit there.
−
−	'''Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?'''
−
−	I would say I'm like the Browns in the books in the sense that I do love books, and I daydream (and talk to myself) all the time! But I'm a lot more outgoing (although I still wouldn't call myself "outgoing") than the book Browns in the sense that I like to get out and have a good time on occasion. Really, I think the way I am most like book Browns is that I love knowledge... whether it's going to an actual class or just browsing Wikipedia for hours, I want to know everything, about everything. I have a thirst for it.
−
−	'''Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?'''
−
−	Verin. Oh yes.
−
−	'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
−
−	I started reading WoT when I was in sixth grade. It was a long time ago, we'll just leave it at that!
−
−	'''How did you first get into the series?'''
−
−	My mom got me the "Young Adult" versions of Eye of the World, and from then on I was hooked.
−
−	'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''
−
−	Moiraine for the first few and Rand for the first six-ish books, then Mat, now Rand again for the last couple. I'm indecisive, obviously.
−
−	'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
−
−	Graendal!
−
−	'''Favorite book and scene?'''
−
−	I like Lord of Chaos (which is how my fiancé proposed to me, but that's another story!). As for a favorite scene... the Battle of Dumai's Wells was pretty intense. I liked Falme, too, in the Great Hunt. It's so hard for me to pick just one!
−
−	'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
−
−	If I wasn't a Brown Aes Sedai (which is my first choice, of course!), I would want to be a Cairhienian noble. Daes Dae'mar fascinates me!
−
−	'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''
−
−	I found TV.Net through a link on Dragonmount when I was 12. I waited to join until the day I turned 13- well, that was the plan, but I actually could only wait til a week before. I had a long journey to SM... it took me two years to be raised to Accepted (again, on my birthday- seems to be a theme!), and another two years to be raised to Aes Sedai. I had to take a few extended-LoAs, but every time I couldn't help but coming back because I loved the community and family I found within my Ajah and the site as a whole.
−
−	'''What do you do in "real life"?'''
−
−	I'm currently a full-time student for another five weeks, when I will be receiving my Bachelors in Accounting and Accounting Information Systems. I work part-time for the Department of Defense right now, and I'll be starting full-time there once I graduate. Eventually I might go on to get my Masters but... we'll approach that at a later date, I think, because I also have to plan a wedding! My fiancé (who I convinced to start reading WoT, of course!) and I are planning our wedding for May 4, 2013- International Star Wars Day. It's all very exciting ^_^
−	'''Do you have any hobbies?'''	+	=={{greenheader2}} Official Event Attendance==
		+	{{anni2013}}
		+	{{anni2015}}
		+	{{fb2017}}
−	I love video games (mostly RPGs and Assassin's Creed and old school platformers, but I'll try almost anything), shoes (lots of them!), bowling (I was state-ranked back in high school), tennis, and most of all traveling! The more and further away I can travel, the happier I am.	+	=={{greenheader2}} Tower Sworn Interview==
		+	''Updated March 20th, 2022.''
−	'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''	+	;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
		+	Since 2001.
−	I love almost all music, but if I had to pick a favorite band right now it would be tied between The Fray and Adele. I am a pretty big fan of Beyoncé, Shakira, and Pitbull, and I love musicals and opera. So basically, like I said before, almost anything.	+	;How did you first get into the series?

−	I love the Kushiel's Legacy trilogy by Jacqueline Carey, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, The Riftwar Saga by Ramond E. Feist, almost anything by Bill Bryson, lots of historical fiction, and lots of other books. I like books.	+	;What do you do in "real life"?

Tower Sworn Interview

Updated March 20th, 2022.

How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?

Since 2001.

How did you first get into the series?

My mom bought me the Eye of the World.

Favorite book and scene?

Lord of Chaos is my favorite book. It's hard to pick one favorite scene. So I'll give a couple (in no particular order): Rand and Tam in ToM; Egwene in the Last Battle; Dumai's Wells; That scene with Verin.

If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?

I'd be hard pressed to choose between an Aes Sedai and a traveling bard.

How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?

I think I found it through a link on Dragonmount ages ago. I didn't stay on Dragonmount long but I did stay here. I stayed because of the people. I love my Tower family.

What do you do in "real life"?

I'm a dog mom and an IT system analyst.

Do you have any hobbies?

Travel, music, gaming (video and tabletop), reading, sleeping. Pretty much in that order.

What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

I listen to a really wide variety, but lately I tend to gravitate towards indie pop, dreampop, alternative rock, soul, r&b, and bluegrass. I'll listen to almost anything, other than maybe polka and modern country. Oh- and I love basically everything John Williams has ever done.

What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?

Empire Strikes Back, GOT, Star Trek TNG, The IT Crowd, Lovesick, The Clone Wars, My Neighbor Totoro, Moulin Rouge, Long Way Round, The Big Lebowski, Office Space

Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?

Most things by Bill Bryson, Hokkaido Highway Blues by Will Ferguson, The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist, Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, Kushiel's Legacy trilogy by Jacqueline Carey, a whole bunch of stuff by Mercedes Lackey, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz, Unicorns I Have Known by Robert Vavra, probably other things I'm forgetting.
