And she is just plain lucky too. And people tend to save her a$$. amirebram Send a noteboard - 26/01/2010 10:10:33 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.

Can totally get behind Tuon for that scene. Bornhold's a boring fanatic, though. *NM* beetnemesis - 24/01/2010 09:28:11 AM 416 Views

Egwene should be considered *NM* Reptile - 24/01/2010 04:50:38 PM 375 Views
I'm going with darius_sedai - 24/01/2010 06:06:57 AM 788 Views
A very sensible suggestion. I agree. *NM* Lordling - 24/01/2010 10:56:55 AM 332 Views

I'll have to disagree with this Sidious - 25/01/2010 04:37:43 PM 668 Views
I think that title is best suited to Elayne darius_sedai - 25/01/2010 05:01:03 PM 1005 Views

I changed my mind - Tigraine Mantear is the bravest character I can think of. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/01/2010 06:01:32 PM 754 Views
Lews Therin and the hundred Companions Sidious - 25/01/2010 04:31:03 PM 800 Views
+1, this belongs on the list *NM* BlackAdder - 26/01/2010 11:27:00 AM 306 Views
I can't really credit Lews Therin with anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/01/2010 06:01:09 PM 638 Views
Why's he too powerful? Sidious - 28/01/2010 04:31:56 PM 650 Views
