I'll have to disagree with this Sidious Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 04:37:43 PM
She was willing to die to protect Rand as early as Book 1, risked being destroyed in T'A'R to gather information in other books and was willing to die again for the cause of uniting the Tower in the last three books.


As much as I like Egwene, I think what makes her so powerful is not bravery as much as her sense of invulnerability. Egwene doesn't believe she can be harmed or killed, and she's ignorant of the true danger she's in. That's why she's always the one to get collared, hit on the head with a rock, half-killed by Lanfear, captured etc. She's very bad at assessing danger, so she rushes in where angels fear to tread. Luckily she's very powerful as a channeler, or I think she'd be roadkill by now.

I'd say there are only two serious candidates, and one clear winner beetnemesis - 23/01/2010 09:12:01 AM 992 Views

Occasionally. At least I didn't dedicate my life to achieving mediocrity, Hidious. Fanatic-Templar - 25/01/2010 05:42:21 PM 749 Views

Can totally get behind Tuon for that scene. Bornhold's a boring fanatic, though. *NM* beetnemesis - 24/01/2010 09:28:11 AM 423 Views

Incidentally... Fanatic-Templar - 23/01/2010 10:00:02 PM 851 Views

The thing is, most of the people I try to think of didn't really have a 'cause' ... Yondaime - 23/01/2010 11:34:42 PM 912 Views
That's just it. That's really the Dragon Reborn myth in a nutshell, really. beetnemesis - 24/01/2010 09:38:12 AM 847 Views

Egwene should be considered *NM* Reptile - 24/01/2010 04:50:38 PM 380 Views
I'm going with darius_sedai - 24/01/2010 06:06:57 AM 803 Views
A very sensible suggestion. I agree. *NM* Lordling - 24/01/2010 10:56:55 AM 335 Views
All the Forsaken except Mesaana and perhaps Moridin qualify. Lord Haart - 24/01/2010 03:49:17 PM 752 Views

I think that title is best suited to Elayne darius_sedai - 25/01/2010 05:01:03 PM 1015 Views
And she is just plain lucky too. And people tend to save her a$$. amirebram - 26/01/2010 10:10:33 PM 721 Views
I changed my mind - Tigraine Mantear is the bravest character I can think of. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/01/2010 06:01:32 PM 770 Views
Lews Therin and the hundred Companions Sidious - 25/01/2010 04:31:03 PM 815 Views
+1, this belongs on the list *NM* BlackAdder - 26/01/2010 11:27:00 AM 309 Views
I can't really credit Lews Therin with anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/01/2010 06:01:09 PM 652 Views
Why's he too powerful? Sidious - 28/01/2010 04:31:56 PM 663 Views
Dragon Reborn, plus mightiest channeler, plus t'a'veren of great magnitude, plus leader of the World RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/01/2010 05:56:13 PM 618 Views
Tamra. Her speech after Gitara Moroso's death in NS was heartbreaking. Lord Haart - 26/01/2010 08:28:37 AM 658 Views
I'd say Galad ranagrande - 29/01/2010 10:08:36 PM 586 Views
