Jenni is like a force of nature. Sure, you might be able to stem the tide and maybe put some space between you and her (like by using two spaces after each sentence as I am here), but inevitably she will come around and batter down your door to play Halo Infinite or start an RP. And now that she's truly gotten her feet wet with a Great Jedi War under her belt, she's starting to step up for more and more within Arcona and the Brotherhood as a whole. Even before XP, these were the marks of folks that deserved the sacramental awards, of which the Sapphire Blade was the first step.

So to our wonderful funderful Sagi, I hope that you enjoy this new shiny stabbin' implement and put it to good use. Just like I put all these post-sentence spaces to good use. Enjoy your Sapphire Blade!

Sagitta has been an absolute menace since her Grand Crossing only three months ago. Out of the 46 competitions she’s blasted in that short time, she’s earned Novae of both the Silver and Bronze variety AND she’s earned 17 Crescents in total, with three each of Diamonds, Rubies, and Amethysts, five Sapphires, and one each of Emerald, Topaz, and Quartz. A royal flush!

On the gaming front, she’s been absolutely blazing with 1071 Clusters of Fire, and despite a staggering 172 Clusters of Ice to keep her cool, this lady clearly has no chill when it comes to smashing activity numbers! In addition to the previous, she also nabbed some 72 Earth Clusters and 13 Graphite ones, because not only does she kick major ass, she also kicks ass in all the flavors!

Sagitta, or “Sofila” as she goes by on Discord, is a whirlwind of activity and positive energy that is simply infectious to be around. Cheering people on, taking interest in their days, engaging with the membership and hyping everyone up is quintessential Arcona! Honestly, I am not even convinced she sleeps, despite the alleged naps. How else could someone be such an ever present joy and still manage to rack up Competition participations like they’re Halloween candy?

I’ve been pleased as punch to see her find her place within Arcona and vibing so well with basically everyone she comes across. Especially the RP front has been her forte and I am glad to see her forging stories alongside the rest of the Club membership and making those shared memories that last a lifetime!

For your absolutely astonishing achievements, I am proud to recommend you be awarded your first Sapphire Blade!

It feels like it was only a month ago I was awarding our favourite purple haired Sofila- Wow it was only a month ago!

And yet, despite that here we are again. In that short time period, Sofila has climbed the ranks of the summit, taking over the QUA role 3 weeks ago. Despite her promotion, this has not laxed Sof's drive to be active. She has participated in 85 competitions, 18 of which containers, and in doing so earned 30 Crescents, an awesome ratio to uphold. To be nitty gritty, she got 2 Diamond, 6 Ruby, 6 Amethyst, 10 Sapphire, 4 Emerald and 2 Quartz. Though this pile is nothing in comparison to the 698 Clusters of Fire she's managed to accumulate across 60 gaming activities. Seriously, what the heck?! Among that burning pit, there's 4 Clusters of Earth and 58 Clusters of Ice from 13 Fiction activities.

And this is only the surface of Sofila does within the club. She's in many conversations, chatting, joking and helping others no matter what clan they're in. She is learning the ropes to be Quastor as we speak, and though Tali can speak more readily on her progress there, it's been great to see her making way despite her own doubts.

Stick em with the pointy end Sofila, or.. bash them on the head with the handle I guess! Enjoy the newest stabby to your collection, it certainly won't be the last.

When I last praised Sofila, she was but an Aedile. Now she is the Quaestor.

If there is anything bad one can say about someone as splendid as Sofila, it is that she’s straining my ability to come up with increasingly clever ways of delivering praise without sounding like a broken record. Yet, she keeps doing the hard part of grinding out that XP so needs must.

Since her promotion to Quaestorship, she’s already begun to leave her mark on the House flavor with her launching of Spy Games, and hyping up the ongoing Clan event. Although she is still a relatively fresh member, she’s clearly taken to the House Qel-Droma theme and wishes to reinforce it. Something I greatly appreciate, as it was in need of some much-needed fresh air.

She has also shown diligence and taken on a more structured approach to how we dish out praise in our Monthly Reports, by updating the Crescent leaderboard to now include points for pretty much all activities we do on the site! As a leader, she is also genuinely empathetic and cares much for the members, taking their concerns to heart and swiftly seeking out remedies to ensure member enjoyment remains high. In these things, she has clearly shown how important it is to shake up old Summits with fresh ideas and new energy, both of which Sofila has by the megaton!

I shan’t dwell on details, but I must make mention that Sofila is capital-D Dedicated to her post and Arcona. She gives it her all and it shows in both her personal track record, as well as her interactions with the Clan Summit and membership. I know I speak with the voice of many when I say we stand in awe of her ability to give so much of her, even when life and other matters demand their own attention.

Thank you, Sofila, for your hard work and dedication!
