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 1889 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 988 Views
I think she was Sidious - 05/11/2009 02:42:48 PM 836 Views
RJ still put her in the top category of the Forsaken.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 05:24:06 PM 918 Views
I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:38:30 PM 853 Views
This whole Graendal is alive-idea Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:13:16 PM 873 Views
I'm divided on it.. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:19:07 PM 797 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 826 Views
Ah, anyway... Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:58:05 PM 747 Views
I agree with you Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:32:39 PM 826 Views
Exactly. Etzel - 05/11/2009 07:56:00 PM 1047 Views
I just don't understand the logic here Sidious - 05/11/2009 07:25:20 PM 866 Views
It's quite simple logic. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 08:05:15 PM 923 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 877 Views
Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in... fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 05:16:12 AM 852 Views
Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM* fionwe1987 - 06/11/2009 09:25:47 PM 315 Views

She's definitely the deadiest TheCrownless - 05/11/2009 02:05:23 PM 876 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 785 Views
Eventually they will be reborn... Etzel - 05/11/2009 06:30:45 PM 707 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 741 Views
Moiraine says. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:02:10 PM 767 Views
In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 07:14:44 PM 764 Views
Re: In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter. Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 07:35:18 PM 855 Views
From what I keep hearing Light in the Night - 05/11/2009 08:58:57 PM 779 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 653 Views
I conceed to Rand's point Moridin_2000 - 05/11/2009 06:31:38 PM 874 Views
I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 05/11/2009 06:40:22 PM 695 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 849 Views
Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous LordScimitar - 08/11/2009 02:19:34 AM 811 Views
Semirhage did far more destruction than Graendal. Suffa - 24/11/2009 06:09:18 PM 840 Views
Graendal also made chaos in Shara, though... Etzel - 24/11/2009 06:36:15 PM 651 Views
It's not surprising when you start looking at her parallels darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 01:03:25 AM 663 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
