mg I guess this is what happens when y'all make the introvert chatty

I get that. I know my post count doesn't look like it, but I'm an introvert too!

Welcome to TarValon.Net!

Thank you, Elania Sedai!

Welcome Laurien!!

Thank you, Siera Sedai!

Welcome to Tar Valon, Laurien, an amazing avatar you have there! I am also in the City Council, don't hesitate to ask anything about the site.

So, which Ajah is your favorite so far? :shifty

Thank you, Lyndo! I'm glad you like her
The Ajah question is getting more difficult Yellow Ajah is my absolute favorite, but Brown has a very strong draw for me, too. So does Green. Most of the Ajahs have something that makes me go, "Oh, that's so awesome; I'd love to be part of that one!" because there are qualities embodied in each that I admire greatly. But overall...I feel the most connection with what Yellow stands for, followed very closely by Brown.

A woman after my own heart. It can be tricky with things like Ajahs or Hogwarts houses and similar "placements"; no one is ever really just one thing and nothing else. We've all got various stripes of each Ajah, and... well, we all change, and so do the stripes. For me personally, what doesn't change is who I am at my core, which is Yellow.

This site does help to bring us out of our shells, so to speak. Good conversation and good company has a way of doing that.

Heya!

Oooo, I like your writing; catches my attention immediately!
I just wanted to chime in and say hi and [notably don't have the attention span for anything] -- so, warm welcome!

I’m not sure if there’s any Ajah I don’t feel like I have a bit of in me somewhere.

I’m also an introvert who gets extroverted around people I like (especially online, in person I may require liquid courage to stay outgoing for too long)

 

[Satara al'Caelahn]

Thank you, Satara Sedai! Now that question is tough. I think there will be characters I get more curious about as I read (I'm already much more curious about Egwene from reading), but as far as characters I've been introduced to through the show...probably Thom and Min. Thom just can't be dead after fighting the Fade; he feels too dang important. And that little taste of Min was just tantalizing enough to make me go, "Okay. What's really up with you?"

Those are SUPER good choices. I won't be dropping any spoilers, though. :nono

It happens often around here. I mean... there's a reason that we're all hanging out online where we don't actually have to be around people.

That's very kind of you Thank you, Talia!

Here's a heads up: the Ajahs on this site can be VERY different from the ones in the books in terms of group dynamics and so on. So don't let the books color your impressions of the various Aes Sedai you meet here. I mention it, because it's been known to happen. :P

Thank you for the heads up Fortunately (or not, depending on perspective), I started reading into the Ajahs shortly after getting introduced to them on the show. When I hopped on here, I made sure to read about the TV.net Ajahs, too, for the sake of comparing and contrasting. Hate the Reds on the show, but I know I'll love 'em on here! I hope someone will check me if I start showing signs of losing perspective, though <3

Y'all say you're introverts but I've NEVER been to a quiet in-person Tower party

We talk about our ~stripes~ a lot regarding which book Ajahs resonate with us, and have re-named some of our Big Two. Like some people claim Teal, Blue and Green, or lemon-lime

If you haven't caught it yet, we do have a Discord channel! Lots of newer people seem to be chatting, seems to be a cool place these days.

Oh, I am most definitely on the Discord I do like this idea of "stripes" of different Ajahs that we claim. Something to consider adding into a costume if I ever manage to make one!

Thank you, Soronhen Gaidin!

Welcome to Tar Valon Laurien! Happy to have you here! :joy

Thank you, Merena!

Hate the Reds on the show, but I know I'll love 'em on here!

When I joined, I thought that the Red Ajah would be the last Ajah I would consider joining, but since I've gotten to know them, they are nothing like the Book Reds and are truly incredible people. I just spent the day with a Red, since I am on vacation and near her, and she's awesome. All of the Ajahs and Companies are full of wonderful people, so worry not!!

See, that's the thing I'm looking forward to. Getting to know all sorts of people like this And I hope I discover some who are close-ish to me! (NM, CO, AZ, NV, west TX...)
