modern day Moiraine


Recommended Posts

What would Moiraine be like if she was living in a world like ours? She drinks a ton of tea in the books, but they only have tea. Would she be a Starbucks drinker... have Lan make hot chocolate for her?

 

Also, these things:

 

  • song list on blue ipod nano
  • designers she would wear
  • shoes
  • type of car
  • blogs she'd read
  • official profession (while searching for the DR all over the world)

I don't think Moiraine would take a job, to be honest. She'd just be a rich girl.

 

She'd probably have some elevator music she could just ignore. :o Not a music fan, our Moiraine.

 

I don't see her having patience for blogs. Probably stick to just the facts and cross check different news sites (NPR, CNN, BBC, Fox, etc).

 

Clothes, now. Well! Fendi. Prada. But not Coach. Even poor people can afford Coach.

 

Cars...Beemer.

I say blogs because a lot of the major news sources don't cover a lot of newsworthy issues. They'd be the equivalent to an eyes and ears network! Though, she could still have a bunch of actual people she goes to for that stuff.

 

Rich Girl xD

For when she wants to look Rand in the chin~

She'd probably just read snippets and delve deeper into whatever she wanted to. I guess I see her taking after her scholar parents and vesting more weight in properly sourced articles to something more likely to have a heavy slant like a blog. Not that articles with sources wouldn't have slants (anything written by humans tends to) just that I see her more academic, I suppose.

 

The real question is what kind of clothing she would wear: pant suits, dresses, Xena wrist bands?

Actually, it's for those exact reasons I mentioned the blogs! Most major news sources are so heavily slanted now it's hard to get accurate information, and I'm presuming she'd want to know about end of the world type of happenings... major disasters and such. Mysterious lucky boys with Dragon Reborn birthmarks. What the heck Siuan is up to kind of things. So I see her as skimming a broad variety of sources, picking and choosing the things that interest her.

 

She'd wear it all, bb! At least, I want her too. Now I want to look up designers for her. *shaking with excitement* Dior. Junya Wantanabe or Jean Paul Gaultier for travel wear. Let me think of more!

I guess I was stuck thinking of the blogs you see on CNN et al :o Those are so worthless. Blogs by people suffering in Iran, is different. So I suppose we are, once again, saying the same thing in different ways. Like Nyn and Moiraine. Or Romanda and Lelaine!

 

Not Jean Paul. He did crap for Target. Anyone who designs for Target is on the blacklist!

Marie pointed out that there were no strippers or prostitutes in WoT, so maybe Moiraine'd find those professions very interesting...from a strictly cultural pov, of course. And let's face it, she'd be an illegal immigrant and useless at all modern-day work.

 

And I think she might like the New York Time's market website.
