Egwene by far. She's become the most egotistical yet most stupid character in the series.-jay

Yeah, I've got to go with Egwene as well, especially in the last few books.

Nynaeve so far... though Egwene has shown me a lot of annoyance so far...

Toughest - poll - ever.

Had to go with Faile, if for no other reason than she has consistently sucked throughout the entire series.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

As a novice to Wheel of Time (and likely to stay that way), what's the deal? Can Jordan just not write believable female characters?

It doesn't look like he can. The female characters range from the Annoying to the Stupid to the just plain Odd (Like Siuan and her obsession with Fish).

The only reasonable female character in the series that I can think of is Min.-jay

You know what's funny? Jordan stated several times that gender differences are supposed to play a huge part in the Wheel of Time, as emphasized by the differences between male and female channeling, for example... yet all female characters, with the exception of Min, are either exhaggerated or downright odd (and it seems things are getting worse as we go on)... So the gender differences he was talking on was that according to him, women are crazy, intolerant of men and obsessed while men tend to go mad and rampage across the country? :P

Elayne is such a pain, all asunder (no pun on Sunder intended) from the occasional smooch with Randy
