Moiraine Damodred :)

I replied:

I think this was for a meme I posted back in … December (eep!), so … hm. I really love Moiraine, but I also haven’t read the books in a really long time, so I might have the specifics wrong.

1. Sexuality Headcanon: In my heart, grey-ace (like nearly all of my faves), but canonically speaking, bi.

2. OTP: No one, really? But Moiraine/Siuan is cool. 

3. BROTP: I’m not quite sure—I really like Moiraine individually, but less in actual relation to other characters except Siuan. I do have Moiraine+Elayne vague feelings, though!

4. NOTP: Moiraine/Thom. I would scrub all trace of it from all of the books if I could. D:

5. First headcanon that pops into my head: I honestly can’t remember how much is canon or not, especially because New Spring was so satisfying for me. I do imagine that she had very complicated feelings about Elayne, though.

6. Favorite line from this character: probably the same one I dug up for this post: Before I let the Dark One have you, I will destroy you myself.

7. One way in which I relate to this character: the extent to which Moiraine sticks to her choices once she makes them! She picks her path and follows it with a steely determination that I appreciate. I’m not that way as much as her, but I am very stubborn.

8. Thing that gives me second-hand embarrassment: Thom. She’s too good for him!

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave: Neither. Moiraine transcends simple binaries!
