Without Moiraine, the last prophecy of Gitara Moroso about the Dragon Reborn would have been heard by a different Accepted. And I'd hate the idea of that Accepted being someone like Elaida

 

but Elaida wasn't even an accepted at the time.

maybe it could be someone else who would turn Red, but it could never be Elaida herself

 

From the Encyclopaedia WoT:

As Accepted, Elaida makes life miserable for Moiraine and Siuan as first year novices. (NS,Ch3)

Elaida was Accepted while Moiraine and Siuan were novices, true.  But Elaida was a Sister when they were Accepted.  She "helps" them prepare for the test for Sisterhood in New Spring as a Sister, IIRC.

Yeah, but she'd probably misinterpret it like she has nearly all of her own Fortellings.

*Bangs head against the table*

 

Like Elaida!

If I see a lookalike of Elaida running around in a red dress doesn't mean I've actually seen Elaida.

 

I gave that quote because I knew she wasn't an accepted with them but always a step above. xP

She might have had lackeys or girls who idolize her.

Got it.  Why you put the quote was slightly ambiguous.  Because you quoted ROB 88's post, it just seemed to me that you were disagreeing with him.  I understood the second half of that post, just wanted to clarify the first half.

The pattern would of forced someone else to take Moiranes place as shes not ta'veren. Moiraine rules btw And to think what she must of done to survive the captivity of the aelfinn etc shows how epic she is ;D

She is my favorite female character without a doubt. Cadsuane comes second

When I first played the new Zelda game (Twilight Princess) and saw Princess Zelda, I immediately thought of Moiraine.  I don't know how many Zelda fans are here, but I thought some who have played the game might would agree.
