I think one of mine would be when Nymaeve finally learns how to channel with out being angry. although it took her almost dieing to do it. that and when Perrin realizes just how much he likes swinging his axe. just before he throws it into the tree. "keep it, keep it until you enjoy using it"

I also like Perrin i see alot of myself in him and have always had and affinity for wolves. I would love to play a Perrin based character for the d20 table top wot rpg. (now if i could only find a group w/ a good gm.)

I think right now other that Rand al'Thor my favorite character to Tom Merrelin I think that there is more to his Relationship to Elayne than a friend and Her mother's former lover.
