Four months ago, Xathia joined #arcona, to check up on Fionn – wanting to see what it was that he spent all his time on. At first she was unsure of what we were all about, but after some talking, she signed up and since then she has brought her own special charm and enthusiasm to the DB. From that day she joined, she's been on IRC almost constantly: learning, asking questions, helping new members out as she started finding information herself.

As my Apprentice, Xathia completed a 'quick check' sheet for the ACC – focusing on learning the Force Powers, their annotations and the effect of the Class differences. We spent hours together, going over the Character stats, how they relate, what would realistically be possible and what not under certain conditions. These are things that most people don't really bother with, she does, because she wants to be better, always pushing herself to learn, and constantly striving to improve her writing, grammar and technique.

Since her last promotion, she has completed four SA exams (Force Philosophy, Pre-Republic History, Training Saber Basics, and Marksmanship), as well as the Advancement Survey. She also took part in both the fiction and the caption events of the Scholae v Arcona Clan Feud.

After transferring to Scholae Palatinae, she participated in the ACC event of the RoS, completing two battles and earning a Seal of Darkness for her efforts, and she is still going strong, currently keeping herself busy with four ACC battles – three regular combat and one in the Jester's Keep,.

I can't truly express my joy at what she's achieved, despite time constraints and a huge school work load, she still makes time to do the best she can do and I couldn't ask for anything more. With this in mind, I wish to have her promoted to Guardian - she has proved that she understands the basics of the DB, that she is motivated, committed and driven to prove herself.

Xathia, as I told you when you first joined, do what you can do and that is all anybody will ever ask. I am really proud of you, you could have just stepped back and said "I don't have time", but you kept pressing on, doing what there was time for and even squeezing in just another extra bit to make sure you stay active – thank you and congratulations!
