Elayne Trakand: The Perfect Woman

[Marie 73]

Something I noticed awhile ago is that Elayne is "Perfect"

 

• She's tall, pale, blond and blue eyed (is she Swedish in secret?)
  
• She's the Best Damn Queen Ever^TM
  
• She has fabulous embroidery skills
  
• She's a cordon bleu chief in the making
  

 

Not to mention she is more gungho about the sharing of Rand than the other two (at least nowadays). I really can't get over her cooking skills; why would a noble know how to cook so well? Moiraine doesn't even fill her own soup bowl. Indeed, her aunt's lack of skills makes her more of a princess than Miss Perfect Dimple.

[Kaitlin 22]

I forgot she can embroider.

 

Well, but can she sing (Moiraine's talking is close enough to singing. It counts!) and dance? Defend herself with ninja skills? (Moiraine can't but she can slap), Fish?

 

• oh yes, she can also tightrope walk
  
• and ride horses perfectly
  
• and spout cliches she learned from Lini
  

 

That still doesn't make Elayne the HBIC.

[Marie 73]

Elayne can probably dance with the best of them. And with that Warder of hers she probably can be a ninja too.

 

Moiraine might be able to cuss better, though. Or at least know what her cuss words mean.

 

Mother's milk in a cup!

[Kaitlin 22]

*folds arms* Moiraine and Elayne need to see who is the better dancer. That is the only way this can be resolved.

 

Elayne is not so ninja as her Warder, but her attempts to curse are amusing!

I think one of those WoT parodies described Elayne best. Something like... "the borderline pedophile fantasy of a middle-aged writer".

[Marie 73]

Oh yes I forgot she is barely legal.

[MierinSedai 0]

Moiraine could look barely legal if she comes back stilled! Maybe she could tug Thom's mustaches too... it might be a family fetish.

[Aleyna 1]

Momo will not come back stilled, she will NOT!

 

But I do like the idea of a barely legal Moiraine.

 

 

Oh, yes and Elayne is all- What would mother say? and if that fails Lini says this, Lini says that!

I mean, nobody is that childish! Even in RJ's world.

 

Besides, how can anyone with the slightest hint of sanity be in love with Rand?!

Elayne has hardly met Rand so she doesn't know how insane it is to love (fangirl) him The few brief encounters have been quite productive though.

True.

 

All of his ladyloves have tendencies to do that...xD

Although Avi did spend time with him.

And yes, considering the other characters, they were this totally teen, High-School, annoying couple.

 

Is it just me, or is Elayne, the WoT version of a super popular cheerleader?(whose mum is a celebrity)

You are right. I think that other than Elayne being RJ's pedophile fantasy she is also the Mary Sue he wished he could be if he were a girl.

What are you trying to imply?

 

That still doesn't make Elayne the HBIC.

Then who is?

 

And who says I can't be a ninja?

That would be Laras. Don't deny, bb.

 

 

Show us your moves.

Do not be afraid of me.

Elayne was tolerable until I started picturing her with puffy, curly blonde hair, at which point she became a powerpuff girl.
