They both had less extreme vies of Reds than Rand' maybe Perring and Rand will both acquire respect for a Red sister.Mollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-76633264673127420562010-03-24T18:48:38.550-04:002010-03-24T18:48:38.550-04:00That could well be so, Frank.

There's no data on her history unfortunately. <br /><br />Teslyn's forbidding persona and unattractive exterior discourages anyone from getting close to her and I don't think she has any loving or sexual relationships with males or females. However she is a pretty good assessor of people's actions and motivations.<br /><br />I agree that Mat has been the first man to treat Teslyn well.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-50703884236887283392010-03-24T13:59:45.311-04:002010-03-24T13:59:45.311-04:00It's interesting that for a long while Pevara ...It's interesting that for a long while Pevara and Teslyn are the only "good" Reds we really see, and Teslyn certainly didn't start out that way. It's only rather recently we've started to see the Silvianas and Pevara's Black Tower companions and Tsutama (well, the jury's still out on her, "hard" as she is) who can get their heads out of their asses. <br /><br />Not to psychoanalyze too much, but Teslyn's aversion to men touching her indicates abuse at the hands of men, perhaps an abusive father or an early rape. Mat may be the first man she can touch because he's the first man in her life that's ever treated her well.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301077496668834657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-1446961925129896932010-03-24T09:21:47.141-04:002010-03-24T09:21:47.141-04:00''Or should I say Suffa?
