Moiraine does many odd things. Here is a thread about Moiraine's quirks! That silly foxcub girl!

 

There are lots and lots of things I can think of, including the fact that she is so different from so many Cairhienin! Even in NS when she was still not very worldly she was different! She seemed actually as prudish as Cairhienin pretend to be, but pervy at the same time. :?

 

Here's another thing I found in EotW:

 

(Nynaeve) soon realized that, beneath (Lan and Moiraine's) calm surfaces, hour by hour they wound tighter and tighter, like clocksprings being forced to the breaking point. Moiraine seemed to listen to things that were not there, and what she heard put a crease in her forehead.(snip)..."She is part of the Pattern, Lan," Moiraine said chidingly. Her gaze was elsewhere, too. "It is the Dark One, Nynaeve. The storm has left us . . . for a time, at least." She raised one hand as though feeling the air, then scrubbed it on her dress unconsciously, as if she had touched filth. "He is still watching, however"

Moiraine does make some wierd hand gestures, you're right Kaitlin. I don't have my books with me so I can't check the exact passage, but I'm pretty sure that when Rand survives the bubble of evil in the Stone and she asks him to take hold of saidin, she "scrubs her fingers against her palms" and she doesn't know she's doing it.

*nods* Yes, I think I remember that too!

 

She also talks about it very much in Fal Dara when Fain is still in the jail and she was questioning him. I thought at first that all Aes Sedai react that way, but they don't! She really doesn't like evilness, or maybe just associates it with dirt and has OCD! :? *doesn't really believe that second part*

Yes, she does some weird stuff after questioning Fain. Including saying "Faugh" which we never hear from her again. (I guess that word is more associated with Caddy now). That was actually the first time I had ever seen that word, and I thought it was pronounced "faff" to rhyme with laugh - as in haha.

No, and I bet her eyes water to make up for that fact. So, she must have very bright sparkling eyes that are very hard to say no to.

 

My girl cat does not blink also. That's why I can't have her in the room with me at night. I will turn around in the middle of the night and she'll be staring at me. I imagine that having Moiraine stare at you in the middle of the night would make you uncomfortable too. If I were Thommy I would tickle her a lot to get her to close them. He might be able to get away with it. The others... not so much... :(
