For my entire career in the Brotherhood, I have always stood by the principle that hard work will always be rewarded. In truth, anyone who is willing to put the time and effort into being a member or leader in this club has the unlimited potential to do what ever they set their mind to. Leadership, politics, skills; these are all things that can be taught. The one thing we can never teach, however, is hard work. Dedication. Heart. For these type of people, there are not enough awards, promotions, or commendations I can give.

When I think of the word heart, or of dedication to Clan Arcona, there is one member that always jumps to the front of my mind. Atyiru has, since the very second she arrived here, done nothing but give her best effort. It just so happens that her best effort comes with a diverse skill-set, the patience of a saint, and the wisdom of someone much older than her years. All of this together made her a quick member of the Arcona Summit just short of a year ago. Starting as just an XO, she quickly took the reins from her Battelteam Leader and stepped up in a huge way during the middle of a Dark Crusade planet-siege. As the Arcona Summit shifted, we were hit with her Aedile application shortly after- and I honestly had to do a double take. Where did this girl come from?? Despite being relatively new, we gave her a shot at Aedile, and as Cethgus will elaborate further on, she took the position and quite literally made it her own. Beyond her duties as Aedile, Atty has become a spiritual leader for Arcona. Her positive attitude mixes with her genuine good nature to make her one of the most approachable members in the club. I find myself dumping random tasks on her here and there, and never does she tell me "no" or try and deflect it to anyone else. Even if she is unsure of herself, she still says yes. Her desire to help others is just something that comes naturally to her. It's endearing on multiple levels and transfers to everything else she does as a leader in Arcona. If I had a nickle for every time she has said to me, "you never have to say sorry to me," I would have a lot of nickels (if they existed in SW, of course). Her simple presence and attitude alone has made my life as Consul bearable. Even if it comes down to little things like drawing a sketch of something involving the members of the Arcona Special Forces team as a reward for working so hard. Or even if it's joining #arcona_rp to interact with her members in character. Or proof reading pretty much anything that can be proofed (e-mails, letters to a friend, doctors notes, ect). There are so many things that she does on a daily basis that just come naturally, and as a sum they help create an environment in which others can learn, grow, and succeed.

For all of her kindness, Atty is the first person to jump to the defense of her friends. She will also be the first to crack a quip or switch into troll-mode if it somehow makes her friends smile. She also is a fierce competitor and tied for 3rd in Arcona for most Novae earned with 11 total. She kept pace with a Dark Jedi Master, her Consul's, and her Quaestor despite joining the club barely a year ago. Of those 11, 5 were gold, and a good bulk of her novae came from her writing. Known for her first 50-page fiction, she has since learned to slim her writing down a bit (we're making progress...I think we managed to get under 20 last round!) and continues to practice and get better. She represented as a member of Arcona's Special Forces for all 3 Chapters of Phase 2, and was a huge part of Arcona's ability to secure as many planets as they did.

And yet for all that, she has never once stopped to ask for anything. The only thing she has ever required was to be given a chance to help in some way. If I could clone even a portion of Atty's attitude to every member of not just the Clan, but the Brotherhood, I think we would all be better off. Thank you Atty for being awesome, and don't let anyone or anything ever get in your way. The stars are your limit, Squirrel, and it has been an honor and a privilege to be your Proconsul and Consul and to watch you grow into the leader and member you are today.

Atty has been an immense help to the CS team. Over the last month, her fingerprints have been on every section of every document. She has created several Feats, contributed to the naming of a variety of them, and literally proofread every Feat, Skill, and Force Power at one point in time or another. On top of that, she has been a sounding board for opinions of the entire CS Staff and has been instrumental in us meeting our deadlines. Typically, when as large a project as the Character system is worked on, the majority of the work comes from Equites or above. Atty helped buck that trend and has been a huge source of information and assistance in the project.

Atty most definitely deserves this GC for her work on the CS project!

On top of her work in the Dark Crusade and as a leader in Arcona, Atty selfessly volonteered herself to work on the CS Project. She wasted no time in getting involved, and like the good gramar nazi she is, she wasted no time in taking a red pen to literally everything the CS team had come up with to that point. Her positive attitude is offset by a mature sense of responsibility for her actions, which blends with her ability to somehow get away with light-trolling as well. Her presence alone brightens the moods around her, and her spirit for her friends and peers is contagious.
