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 2005 Views
It has definitely been hinted Lord o' Salv - 05/11/2009 08:37:04 AM 1057 Views
Graendal wasn't that deadly... Etzel - 05/11/2009 09:37:24 AM 1094 Views
I think she was Sidious - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 943 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 1033 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 959 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 986 Views
I'm divided on it.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 919 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 946 Views
Ah, anyway... Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 849 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 952 Views
Exactly. Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 1170 Views
I just don't understand the logic here Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 991 Views
It's quite simple logic. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 1032 Views
Then how did she do it? Narg - 05/11/2009 09:41:53 PM 906 Views

It is a possibility. Narg - 06/11/2009 03:43:22 AM 882 Views
Hmm, I have some problems with this Sidious - 06/11/2009 04:23:23 AM 998 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 972 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 373 Views

She's definitely the deadiest TheCrownless - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 981 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 916 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... Etzel - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 817 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 866 Views
Moiraine says. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 906 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 900 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 986 Views
From what I keep hearing Light in the Night - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 901 Views
I could well believe it Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 11:03:40 PM 865 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/11/2009 09:00:01 PM 793 Views
I conceed to Rand's point Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 982 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 798 Views
True... Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:57:24 PM 845 Views

I always thought she was the most dangerous of the chicks. Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:28:43 AM 998 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous LordScimitar - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 915 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. Suffa - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 974 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... Etzel - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 756 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 761 Views
Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor Logain - 16/12/2009 07:03:52 PM 762 Views
