It is with pride that I am recommending Scarlet for a Anteian Cross, knowing that she has earned it through effort and time. She never ceased her forward momentum as so many others do upon reaching Knighthood, and instead is ever striving for loftier heights.
She is an ever present member of the Clan, actively engaging with her team and even new initiates through Telegram and email. She always offers her own experiences as a counter-balance for newcomers, making sure they see that the only barrier to success comes from the effort they themselves are willing to put forward. For Scarlet, this comes from the drive to never give up and keep improving. Openly disheartened by fiction at first, she has worked with other Knights through competitions and internal discussion in order to improve her writing to a more comfortable level. The ability to not only recognize one's faults, but make the necessary steps to improve on those things is exactly the example I want set by any of our members.
This is all the more important in Scarlet's case, as she has taken on the role of Battleteam Leader for Sapphire Squadron for a month total, after leading under Bob's guidance as Sergeant for a total of four months. This amount of time is nothing to shake a stick at, especially when you take a look at the roster she has on hand. The likes of Shi Long and Macron Sadow hold spots within the Squadron, and Scarlet never hesitates to take the lead despite the pedigree she stares down on a daily basis.
Since her last recognition, Scarlet has continued to rise above the expectations placed upon her. She has taken part in sixteen Competitions, and in addition to that has organized seven of her own. The fruits of her labour come in the form of three Amethyst Crescents, and a Ruby Crescent. In the process of bettering herself, she dove into Jedi Academy without a thought to her level of skill and put it all on the line to compete. This has contributed to her receipt of twenty Clusters of Fire and four Clusters of Ice that she has received for Fiction thus far. Additionally, she has passed three courses in the Shadow Academy.
During the course of the Awakenings competition, she maintained an active and encouraging voice within the Clan, offering support and instilling confidence within the member base in order to keep the activity going even if she didn't always feel this confidence herself. Still, she hopped into both the Run-On and Joint Fiction events and took to the field, adding her fiction to the Clan proper regardless of her own self-doubt, proving her drive in the process.
It is all this that defines Scarlet as a zealous leader within Naga Sadow, and an effective presence that I am glad to count among my team. She has earned this recognition, of that I have no doubt.
