My name is Kevin [?] from Orem, Utah. My question is mostly directed at Harriet, but also anybody else on the panel who wants to jump in here.
One of the things I love about the books is that there’s so many characters, and there are moments where like, each of the characters has their ups and downs, and there’s chapters where like, “Man, Perrin is on fire,” or “Mat is the greatest!” But if you could hang out with any character from this universe, you know—even disregarding what we know about Mat’s similarities with Robert Jordan now—but if you could hang out with any character, who would it be?
And then also, for Harriet and Maria, if you could be any Ajah in the White Tower, which would you pick?
Well, Maria and I have different fancies about the male characters. [laughter] She fancies herself…she fancies some Mat. Big time. [laughter] And I, on the other hand, have always been stuck by the numerous ways in which Robert Jordan resembles Perrin. Very large, as a former lineman for Clemson University would-be, and hairy, and very gentle, and I just…anyway, I think it’d be Perrin. And I’m torn between the Blue and the Brown. I think mostly Blue.
And I am so Brown. [laughter]
Actually, on one of these last book tours, Brandon looked at this thing I’m wearing around my neck, because this is a nice, non-losable thing to put on some color. [It resembles an Amyrlin’s stole, narrow and tied in a knot.] And he said, “Oh…” looking at the stripes, “Orange. My favorite Ajah.” [laughter]
