Primary reason

A member's first sacramental award is a special occasion. While merit medals are awarded for excellence in the day to day, sacramental awards are the threshold between the average and the great.

Kora is simply that: great.

In just over a month, Kora has amassed the 5125 XP required to earn her first ever Sapphire Blade. While I'm not sure if that's a record, it's still an extraordinary achievement in and of itself.

The numbers speak for themselves: 50 competitions participated in netting 19 crescents, three clusters of ice, 84 clusters of graphite, and one scroll of foundation. Five society rank ups in the Collegium, Inquisitorius, and Shroud Syndicate. 21 shadow academy courses passed with four new degrees attained. A promotion to Equite 1.

All of that, in a month. That's more than most members do in a YEAR.

This Sapphire Blade is more than deserved, it is EARNED.

Congratulations on your first of what will likely be MANY sacramental awards to come, Kora!

Additional reasons

To further embellish the praise our CON has given, I firmly believe that one should remember that as of today, Kora has only been a member of the DJB for just under 2 months and 1 week! I am in the same boat as Dracaryis in that I am unsure of if that's a record or not for a Sapphire Blade, but it feels like it should definitely be near the top.

Her creativity and artistry shines well in many things she does, her enjoyment of both the craft and Star Wars itself is apparent with very little effort on a viewer's behalf. As her Master, I can speak directly to her drive and enjoyment of the club, as well as her hopes and aspiration to continue to add to it in the future, and while no award is given for future projects, I believe this to be a fitting bit of fuel to throw onto her fire to keep her going, not only for her own benefit, but as a benefit to the club as a whole from her contributions.

This award may be attributed to XP, but I have no doubt that if she continues to find enjoyment and creative sparks within our ranks, it will be followed by numerous Service rewards as well, so congratulations on your first big prize and I look forward to seeing it eclipsed by even shinier ones in the future!
