Syrena, or Kav, has been an almost maddening force within COU. She is always quick to smile, or joke, or just chat with anyone and everyone. She learns at a voracious and sometimes alarming rate. Yet, for one reason or another, I cannot help but encourage her and give over anything she might need to keep going on her journey around here.
That being said, Syrena has gone above and beyond what we expect from a BTL. She has made new storyline for a team so embedded in Clan history that it's been more of the same for years. Syrena has managed to pull some old dogs out from the pasture and infected them with her own get-to-it-ness and that's begun a new age of activity both for her team and for the clan at large.
One person truly can shake up a clan if they have the heart for it and Syrena is that heart. Not has that heart, but is that heart. It's an honor to know her and a pleasure to work with her.
I suppose we can do some of the boring details now. Since the last time we were here, Syrena has organized six competitions directed at giving her battleteam a direction, participated in 42 competitions herself, given us 4000 words of fiction and another 1800 in role plays.
Let's also not forget that she's netted almost 165,000 credits for the clan, earned herself an impressive bundle of medals, and managed to be one of the best team leaders I've seen in quite some time.
I'm proud to serve Odan-Urr with you, Syrena. Well done and well earned, congratulations.

Where do I even begin with Syrena? I could go for the obvious and count down the things she's done, but that wouldn't account for the weight of her contributions. I could list her writing shenanigans, but that wouldn't scratch the surface of her outreach across The Club.
Syrena came to us four months ago and has taken her profession of teaching to a separate level. Odan-Urr has taken to utilizing our Battleteams as a teaching tool, bringing up prospective leaders and entrenching them in the culture and giving them the tools to understand and operate within the framework. Syrena took this information and ran with it, joining the Knights of Allusis as their new Knight Commander, applying her skills, learning how to use the tools, and teaching others how to use them herself. She has dedicated swathes of time to getting to know and understand wide portions of The Brotherhood and interacting with different portions of our community, providing outreach, and offering assistance where any was necessary.
As BTL of the Knights of Allusis she has made a concentrated effort to drive new storylines, pulling on prior Battleteam Leaders and House Hoth Leadership, direct outreach to her members, and communication among the modern Summit. She has pushed for inclusion of the member base in all activities, redoubling our steady drive for roleplayers and fiction writers, prompting new art projects, and pushed her way into gaming, extolling the virtue of each in order to drive up our activity levels, a welcome effort as we have made our way to 60 members and managed with her support to retain an average of 50% or more members with at least one activity posted per month and over 36% of our members keeping moderate activity, with no small part of this in the last months being due to Syrena's infectious personality pushing them forward.
She is an example of a member who has gone above and beyond the expectations of their station to deliver a fun, comprehensive, and inclusive environment for all of those around her and I look forward to what the future holds for her if her progress and interests keep pushing her down this path.

Four months in and this is already happening. You know you can take a breather right Syrena? I don't need to wake up to 20 new emails a day.
Syrena is a joy to work with and watching her push the Knights to greater activity has been one of the great joys of working alongside her. She regularly engages with all aspects of the brotherhood, being omnipresent when it comes to the various RPs COU gets up to, as well as being someone active in gaming, art and other activities.
Congratulations Syrena, you have earned this reward. Now back to that idea of taking a day to rest.
