Ok, say it with me now: Nora is absolutely insane. How can I say such a thing, you might ask? Because 19,464. What is 19,464 you might ask? Well, it is the number of medal XP that Nora has earned since her last award on February 1st. See, when I saw that Nora had recently exceeded 23 thousand medal XP on her ledger, I assumed that she was similar to others that had large remaining XP balances: there must have been a large amount stacked up from before the XP system launched. Nope! Her "catch up" award was a Grand Cross award that left her with 4,071 XP remaining. In the time since, Nora has averaged just over 4,500 XP earned per month. I'll give you a second to recover from that, because I know that the idea of a member averaging nearly a Sapphire Blade per month just blew your minds. That's what Nora does, blows minds and breaks systems.

Since that last award in February, Nora has completed entries for 211 competitions and earned 1 Silver Nova along with 7 Diamond, 31 Ruby, 28 Amethyst, 35 Sapphire, 13 Emerald, 9 Topaz, and 1 Quartz crescents. That's a placement rate of 59%. She's earned herself clusters in the following varieties: 27 Fire, 54 Ice, 592 Earth, and 110 Graphite. She basically assimilated the entire Shadow Academy like a Borg drone while passing 49 courses to earn 13 degrees. She was 78 words shy of 10,000 words of fiction in that time (Yes, she was over nine thousand!). Basically, about everything the site tracks Nora did. In vast quantities. And just for good measure she finished first overall in our Ascending Confederacy House feud and second overall (and top in our Clan) in our Clan Feud against Taldryan while hitting 100% participation in both. If I hadn't spoken to Nora over Discord I might have suspected she was a bot coded by James to literally do all the things. She serves as an example to every member of Plagueis and the Brotherhood just what can be done if you put your mind to it.

Outside of her trackables, Nora has also given excellent service in the realm of leadership work. She has been a great leader of House Ventress, demonstrated by the 76% participation rate they managed during the recent Clan Feud. She has engaged her members via report (minus the one that fell during the Clan Feud as she was directed to focus on direct member engagement) as well as in one on one interactions. She mentored Bril Teg Arga, a newly joined member, to the rank of Knight (and said member has already made it to Equite one as well). Suffice it to say, within Plagueis she has been an invaluable asset to the leadership team. Nevermind the service she has given to the various office staffs within the Brotherhood as well.

Nora is a unique member within the Brotherhood, having done an amazing amount of work since she arrived. Plagueis has been vastly improved due to the work she has put in, both as a consumer of activity and a leader of the membership. Thank you for all that you have done for the Ascendant Clan.
