She's a musician. A writer. A dancer. She has the voice of an angel, the grace of a fairy, and a mind like a steel trap. Oh, did I forget to mention that she holds a Masters degree in Engineering? Did I also neglect to mention that she's pursuing her PhD.?

She's also able to WhupAss[TM] with skill and class - precisely what you'd expect from a Warder.

Zeynep asked to be my Gaidar way back in May of 2001. May 21st, to be exact, in a sweet missive that makes me smile to recall it. How much was of her own volition and how much was the result of gentle prodding on the part of a Warder who shall remain nameless is as yet unknown. It is of no consequence, however. That sweet subterfuge was quite endearing.

Her charming, kittenish mannerisms can be quite deceiving - she projects an aura of vulnerability that hides a delightfully graceful strength and wit. She also seems to be something of a kid magnet! My boys are quite taken with her; they like that she's a "geek girl".

Like the rest of the Fabulous Five, she is loyal, kind, absolutely brilliant, and above all else, infinitely trustworthy and pragmatic. She is a woman that anyone would be pleased to have by their side - I am happy to be the lucky one she has chosen to stand with.
