It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM
She is a composite of some of the most powerful/fearsome figures in mythology and history:

Circe/Aphrodite/Grendal
Goebbels/Goering/Mengele
Messalina/Poppaea

IMO her parallels are to far more powerful people/myths than most of the others (certainly any of the other women)! She's in many ways the perfect femme fatale ... more so even than Lanfear or Semirhage.

IMO she is a frightening because she is not overtly driven by one over-arching factor like jealousy or random sadistic nature. She's cold and calculating and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her desires.

I have long found her to be at least the most interesting of the Forsaken

Graendal - maybe the deadliest Forsaken Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:00:12 AM 1706 Views
It has definitely been hinted Lord o' Salv - 05/11/2009 08:37:04 AM 763 Views
Graendal wasn't that deadly... Etzel - 05/11/2009 09:37:24 AM 808 Views
I think she was Sidious - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 672 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 736 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 663 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 697 Views
I'm divided on it.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 612 Views
Here's the deal, though. Semirhage actions actually followed part of the theory to a tee. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 07:21:21 PM 604 Views
Ah, anyway... Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 562 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 640 Views
Exactly. Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 796 Views
I just don't understand the logic here Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 683 Views
It's quite simple logic. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 673 Views
Then how did she do it? Narg - 05/11/2009 09:41:53 PM 595 Views

It is a possibility. Narg - 06/11/2009 03:43:22 AM 587 Views
Hmm, I have some problems with this Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:23:23 AM 678 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 639 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 244 Views

She's definitely the deadiest TheCrownless - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 687 Views
I think she escaped, but it says something that he had to become worse than a Forsaken to do it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:10:08 PM 585 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... Etzel - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 532 Views
Thanks for reminding me. Oh well, then I'm stuck with the whole tearing apart the Pattern thing RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:44:35 PM 557 Views
Moiraine says. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 569 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 588 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 664 Views
From what I keep hearing Light in the Night - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 618 Views
I could well believe it Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 11:03:40 PM 514 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/11/2009 09:00:01 PM 493 Views
I conceed to Rand's point Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 671 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 523 Views
True... Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:57:24 PM 553 Views

I always thought she was the most dangerous of the chicks. Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:28:43 AM 644 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous LordScimitar - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 614 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. Suffa - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 615 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... Etzel - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 482 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 469 Views
Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor Logain - 16/12/2009 07:03:52 PM 495 Views
