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 1888 Views
It has definitely been hinted Lord o' Salv - 05/11/2009 08:37:04 AM 949 Views
Graendal wasn't that deadly... Etzel - 05/11/2009 09:37:24 AM 986 Views
I think she was Sidious - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 835 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 916 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 852 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 870 Views
I'm divided on it.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 796 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 825 Views
Ah, anyway... Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 746 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 826 Views
Exactly. Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 1045 Views
I just don't understand the logic here Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 865 Views
It's quite simple logic. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 921 Views
Then how did she do it? Narg - 05/11/2009 09:41:53 PM 784 Views

It is a possibility. Narg - 06/11/2009 03:43:22 AM 749 Views
Hmm, I have some problems with this Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:23:23 AM 876 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 850 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 314 Views

She's definitely the deadiest TheCrownless - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 875 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 783 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... Etzel - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 706 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 740 Views
Moiraine says. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 766 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 762 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 853 Views
From what I keep hearing Light in the Night - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 777 Views
I could well believe it Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 11:03:40 PM 719 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/11/2009 09:00:01 PM 652 Views
I conceed to Rand's point Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 872 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 694 Views
True... Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:57:24 PM 736 Views

I always thought she was the most dangerous of the chicks. Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:28:43 AM 848 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous LordScimitar - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 809 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. Suffa - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 838 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... Etzel - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 650 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 662 Views
Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor Logain - 16/12/2009 07:03:52 PM 664 Views
