1. Is it just me or are the Aes Sedai nuts? Really they contemplated failing Nyneave. The penalty for failing Aes Sedai testing is being put out of the Tower. Nyneave has healed being gentled, healed the taint madness, combated Moghedian 3 times and captured her, help find the Bowl of Winds and right the weather, helped cleanse the taint, rescue the Panarch, and is the most powerful channeler the Tower has had in a couple of thousand years and they contemplated failing her. With Tarmon Gaidon just around the corner. Are they nuts?
A significant number of Aes Sedai are like the "frog in the well", ,and hence exhibit this sort of behaviour.
2. Is it just me or is Rubinde nuts? At Nyneave testing she question whether Nyneave would be at Shayol Ghul. Who was going to stop Nyneave. If Nyneave failed the test Nyneave would have been put out of the Tower so the Aes Sedai have no right to stop her. If Nyneave passes the test which Aes Sedai can stop her. Maybe Egwene or Suana would have the authority but certainly not Rubinde.
Maybe she was jealous or she considered herself very wise or she still thinks of Nyn as a child
3. Is it just me or does Nyneave have more Moments of Awesomeness than anybody. Both large moments and small moments. Some of her Large Moments of Awesomeness: Fighting Moghedian 3 times. The third time Nyneave conquored her fear to capture Moghedian. Fighting Rahvin even though Rahvin is much more powerful and much more knowledgable than Nyneave. The whole Bowl of Winds/Fix the weather thing, in her spare time she helped cleanse the source, the heal gentling thing, heal the taint madness thing. Some of her small Moments of Awesome: Saving the young boy in Bandar Eban. What other character in the whole series took the time to save a nameless child. Her standing up to the Aes Sedai during her testing. Her decision to take the adam off of Alivia.
She does seem to care about people, unlike a few others we have seen until now. She also opposes bullying by most characters. She herself does some bullying though, like all women in that world.
4. Is it just me or when she feels Lan in danger in Tarwins Gap she is absolutely going to go nuts. There will not be a calm reasoned conversation to get Rand and Egwene to send help. She will instantly demand help and then go off to help Lan. I can see her now in the middle of Tarwins Gap balefiring Trollocs back to the Age of Legends.
Then tragedy strikes. Both she and Lan die there.
Isn't everyone in WoT re-born?
