Siuan?

[Squilo]

ive often noticed that siuan and nynaeve are very alike, aside from appearnaces and fish sayings, both have bad tempers, are intellegent, open, and brave. when siuan is stilled she instead of fallling apart she goes and finds something to fill the spot of saidar and does not break down at all. siuan and nynaeves fistfight at the end of tFoH is very high up in my favorite scenes list. it was soooo funny ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Shikoba]

Sometimes Siuan rocks, but sometimes I dislike her very much --she only goes wimpy about stupid things, whereas Nynaeve complains a bit but never truly wimps out.

[Shikoba]

Actually, I like Siuan a lot. It just bothers me that she seems to have three different personalities, though I realize Jordan had his reasons for writing her that way.

She's fun in the prequil, when she's blunt and unconventional.

She's cool as the Amyrlin seat, when she's shrewd and commanding [though I get that the Amyrlin isn't always her real personality, as she's a figurehead]

But then she turns into a " :-[soggy:-[ - :'(whimpering - :-Xjelly - :-/muffin ," as if ALL her strength were a face.

I don't get it. I hate it when women are wimps over men.

siuan isn't a sobbering wimp towards the end, she puts it on as a face for the other Aes Sedai to allow her to be egwene's adviser out of 'pity'. she knows that if they knew she's as strong inside as she ever was (excluding her warder's death and bryne) they'd have her scrubbing pots. remember, siuan is an excelent manipulator, and knows that she needs to be close to egwene.

[Shikoba]

She puts on an air of humility and does what the Aes Sedai tell her --that's a face --but she's all twisted up over Gareth Bryne, and acts all worried like it's not obvious he's always flirting with her. Like, more than most of the other female characters who are whacked out over a man. And it's odd, because she supposedly a flirt as a novice. I think that's the point, though.

[Squilo]

i dont think she's COMPLETELY out of wack. she's balancing Her warder's death, stilling/healing, having to force herself to get pity from other sisters who she previously was friends with as equals (lelaine), and falling head over heals in love with a man she has to work with and serve, egwene notes her strength far more times that she does her simpering.

I cant really imagine her as a flirt for a novice, but it would make her history a tad...interesting

Siuan, my 2nd favorite female character after Nyn! She's brilliant!

[Shikoba]

It's because Robert Jordan is a man . He's usually pretty good at seeing how the women think ... but then he seems to change things around to make things more convenient for the guys ...they never have to propose or attempt to sweep the women off their feet. The women simply fall madly in :-*love with them.

*for the record, men are woolheads...*

And no...I'm not always like this...

I am waiting for some love play with Lord Garath...
