Senior Member Interview
- Why did you choose Red?
I chose Red because to me it symbolizes strength of will. A strong minded individual belongs in Red. One who is willing to speak up no matter how unpopular their opinion. One who does what must be done for the greater good no matter the challenges they may face along the way. My Sisters are truly strong and inspirational women and I love them dearly. The Red Ajah is everything I am and aspire to be.
- Are you like the Red in the Books? Do you dislike men? Are you a driven woman with her own goals in life?
I like to think that I will do what must be done and I am very strong willed. I don’t dislike men, no. Though the Reds in the books didn’t all hate men either. One said that she’d actually like to marry and another thought that having a Warder would be nice. I am definitely a driven woman who is always working to better herself. I always have present and future goals for myself.
- Do you have a favorite Red Ajah character from the novels?
Yes I do. I really like the Highest of the Red Ajah, Tsutama Rath. *Spoilers* Despite her previous punishments for gentling men outside the White Tower she eventually promotes the Red Aes Sedai in bonding the Asha’man of the Black Tower. She is able to reason with them and her past mistakes only made her stronger.
- How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
I have been a fan of the Wheel of Time series since I was in grade 9, so 14 years old.
- How did you first get into the series?
It was by accident actually. At the end of my English class in my grade 9 year my teacher was giving out comics to all his students that wanted them because he had so many. The cover of one of the New Spring comics caught my eye and I instantly fell in love with it all. Next thing I knew I was reading New Spring the Novel and then The Wheel of Time.
- Who is your favorite "hero"?
I’ve always really really liked Moiraine.
- Favorite bad guy/gal?
My favourite bad person… hmm…Probably Moghedien.
- Favorite book and scene?
My favourite book is easily New Spring and probably the raising of Moiraine to Aes Sedai would be my favourite scene.
- If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I would absolutely be an Aes Sedai, most likely of the Red Ajah.
- How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
Ok this is actually kind of a funny story. I tend to collect images on my computer of things I really like. One day, while looking for pictures relating to the Ajahs I came across a beautiful picture representing the Red Ajah. This picture was actually on TarValon.net so I took some time to look around the site and fell in love. Easily what decided my staying was the community. The majority of people here are fantastic. I thought it’d be a learning experience and fun to go through the Tower. Later I decided to stay as a Senior Member because I found a love of doing things within the community.
- What do you do in "real life"?
I’m in between things right now but I’d like to go back to school for Website Development when I can.
- Do you have any hobbies?
Many! I read, write, knit, sew, play D&D/Pathfinder, play video games, role-play and LARP (Live Action Role Play).
- What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I like a good mix of just about everything. I’m not super picky with music.
- What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Movies: The Lion King Trilogy (1, 1 ½ and 2), I also love the Dragon Heart movies.
Shows: I like a lot of anime especially within the Magical Girl genre. Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Tokyo Mew Mew are among my favourites.
- Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I really love Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and am currently reading The Warriors series by Erin Hunter.
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be a doctor in my pre-teen years. Before that I wanted to be the Prime Minister of Canada.
