Spotlight Member: @Kyrii
A brand-new player, they're already jumping head first into as many plots as possible. They seem very welcoming too.

Why you think they deserve the spotlight:

Spotlight Character: Abigale Hunter

Why you think they deserve the spotlight:
This character is well-thought out, and her posts are well-written. She's good at interacting with other characters even if she doesn't like them or get along with them.

Spotlight Plot: Kidnapping Minx

Explain the plot in a paragraph for those who aren't familiar:
@Strange's character Khlu set out a trap to study some creatures. They planned to kidnap Minx, but so far have managed to kidnap her toy ostrich instead.

Fae Season

Why you think it deserves the spotlight:
Because it's hilarious and very enjoyable.

Spotlight Member: @Kyrii She's a new person who gave out good first impressions. She's a great person to be talking to, real friendly and outgoing and really just seems to keep the chat bright and happy. She definitely stands out among members.

Spotlight Character: @Hyper's Takeru/Tucker Watanabe. I might be biased here since this character is very closely tied to one of my own, but so far this is a character that I feel deserves some recognition. He's an immortal who has gone through a lot in his life, and did things that might haunt him. One of those things have found its way back to him, and to see how he handles it is always a treat.

For the Plot nomination, I'll leave it as blank as I don't follow other peoples' plottings that closely, and so I will just end up picking something I'm part of, and I already had a biased pick this time

Spotlight Member: @Peppermint

Why you think they deserve the spotlight: So far, since Mint came to SA, they have been very enjoyable and actively talking to people in the Cbox and making friends. Plus their Cbox icons are adorable. =| A D O R B S.

Spotlight Character: Leandro Erebus

Why you think they deserve the spotlight: I actually think this is my favorite character of Saber's. I'm not entirely sure why. He works well in the ICC and he's funny. Mostly I love this name because it reminds me of a Spanish soap opera.

Spotlight Plot: Brozo

Explain the plot in a paragraph for those who aren't familiar: Forced into a strange family situation, Enzo now lives with the Rosales children and struggles to grow up more than he's ever had to before. Luckily, he's not the parental figure.

Enzo is torn between his upbringing and the realization that such a life isn't suitable for children.

So.... This is a Thing
Dadgelo and Momerina??
Interactive Fiction: Like Us, But More Tangible

Why you think it deserves the spotlight: A veeeeery unexpected plot with a lot of character development I didn't see coming this early, if at all.There are some funny and cute moments, such as Lorenzo and Caterina becoming an unlikely ship, but also serious discussion about how the criminal lifestyle isn't fair to children even if their parents are loving and attentive.

Spotlight Member: @TORY
Why you think they deserve the spotlight: I can nominate non-spotlight-winning staff members now, you say? First of all, TORY IS GREAT, LET ME TELL YOU THAT FOLKS, if you don't know that yet. I love her characters--they're all so wonderful, she's a sweetheart, and not only that: she has been doing great as a ranger too and I can say that as her fellow ranger. ALSO she has lovely art pls

Spotlight Character: William Brown
Why you think they deserve the spotlight: You've been waiting for this... I knew you've been waiting for this. @Boop definitely was. I really like William, I love his story, his struggle and I love how he's been like when I see him in the ICC. His story puts tears in my eyes, his love for his wife before the Maria walked in to take advantage of his hurting soul and it's just perfect. How he struggles with his life now as a wraith while still wanting to hold onto his morals makes him such a great character in my opinion. Like, I mean, I'm being terrible with him through Valentine when in ICC but he's just really great character to me; my votes definitely go to him.

Spotlight Plot: TBA for now!

Why you think it deserves the spotlight: TBA

Spotlight Member: @Hyper great RP partner, great ranger and a great friend. I'm grateful to have met them and have loved all our plots. Their cast of characters varies from cute to evil to a little bit of both. They overall bring more amazingness to the site.
Spotlight Character: Kyrii's Anna Perez: I jumped at the chance to thread with Anna once she was approved. She's a wonderful character, sweet and caring, sensitive but with a fire and loyalty toward those she loves. A truly beautiful character inside and out.
Spotlight Plot: Of Sirens and Shadows: This has quickly become my all time favorite plot, a story of love and manipulation. We have James, a kind but damaged shadow mage, and Anna the caring siren. The two have been developing feelings for one another, except for two problems: Mari, a shade who's manipulated James into being her boyfriend/plaything and June who's manipulating Anna to allowing him to drain energy from her. The writing and characters come together beautifully, Kyrii, Hyper and myself are having a blast with it.

Spotlight Member: Why you think they deserve the spotlight:
Lich King—I enjoy RPing with Lich King and we’ve had some great character interactions (Especially Haru and Storm). He’s also super patient with someone who sometimes sporadically posts slowly or goes on hiatus because of health issues like I often do :’D I appreciate it. He’s also just very friendly and chill!

Spotlight Character: Why you think they deserve the spotlight: Seconding William Brown tbh. He's an interesting character who causes some interesting tension, along with the contrast between himself and his demon that he's stuck with.

Spotlight Plot: Explain the plot in a paragraph for those who aren't familiar: Link any relevant threads (especially recent ones): Why you think it deserves the spotlight: Seconding Brozo tbh. The surprise ship between Enzo and Caterina has just been a delight, and Enzo in particular is just a great character and it's so fun to watch him deal with this whole new situation.
