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 1785 Views
It has definitely been hinted Lord o' Salv - 05/11/2009 08:37:04 AM 838 Views
Graendal wasn't that deadly... Etzel - 05/11/2009 09:37:24 AM 899 Views
I think she was Sidious - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 748 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 824 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 753 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 773 Views
I'm divided on it.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 693 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 708 Views
Ah, anyway... Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 639 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 729 Views
Exactly. Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 935 Views
I just don't understand the logic here Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 782 Views
It's quite simple logic. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 797 Views
Then how did she do it? Narg - 05/11/2009 09:41:53 PM 681 Views

It is a possibility. Narg - 06/11/2009 03:43:22 AM 668 Views
Hmm, I have some problems with this Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:23:23 AM 777 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 743 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 279 Views

She's definitely the deadiest TheCrownless - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 774 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 684 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... Etzel - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 608 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 633 Views
Moiraine says. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 659 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 669 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 756 Views
From what I keep hearing Light in the Night - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 694 Views
I could well believe it Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 11:03:40 PM 601 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/11/2009 09:00:01 PM 566 Views
I conceed to Rand's point Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 755 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 603 Views
True... Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:57:24 PM 636 Views

I always thought she was the most dangerous of the chicks. Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:28:43 AM 738 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous LordScimitar - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 704 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. Suffa - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 732 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... Etzel - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 558 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 555 Views
Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor Logain - 16/12/2009 07:03:52 PM 574 Views
