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 1823 Views
It has definitely been hinted Lord o' Salv - 05/11/2009 08:37:04 AM 880 Views
Graendal wasn't that deadly... Etzel - 05/11/2009 09:37:24 AM 934 Views
I think she was Sidious - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 776 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 863 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 794 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 817 Views
I'm divided on it.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 743 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 754 Views
Ah, anyway... Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 682 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 770 Views
Exactly. Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 986 Views
I just don't understand the logic here Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 810 Views
It's quite simple logic. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 853 Views
Then how did she do it? Narg - 05/11/2009 09:41:53 PM 717 Views

It is a possibility. Narg - 06/11/2009 03:43:22 AM 697 Views
Hmm, I have some problems with this Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:23:23 AM 824 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 793 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 294 Views

She's definitely the deadiest TheCrownless - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 821 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 731 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... Etzel - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 645 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 676 Views
Moiraine says. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 702 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 712 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 805 Views
From what I keep hearing Light in the Night - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 723 Views
I could well believe it Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 11:03:40 PM 653 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/11/2009 09:00:01 PM 601 Views
I conceed to Rand's point Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 814 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 636 Views
True... Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:57:24 PM 676 Views

I always thought she was the most dangerous of the chicks. Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:28:43 AM 785 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous LordScimitar - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 743 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. Suffa - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 772 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... Etzel - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 598 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 590 Views
Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor Logain - 16/12/2009 07:03:52 PM 613 Views
