Spotlight Member: @Sly
Why you think they deserve the spotlight: Sly is just a fun personality to be around, and their cast is charming and interesting to watch and interact with.

Spotlight Character: Elizabeth Follett
Why you think they deserve the spotlight: Liz is a really fun character to interact with. Her power creates interesting problems for her, because what must it be like to not have to feel any emotion you don't want to? That kind of external and internal conflict is just really fun to watch.

Spotlight Plot: Dadgelo or: A Rosales by Any Other Name
Explain the plot in a paragraph for those who aren't familiar: The leaders of the Rosales gang and fathers of the Rosales family, Klaus and Vito, suddenly went missing. Their kids, taking action, started restructuring the gang. But kids shouldn't have that kind of burden put on them, and local best cop Angelo has decided to try and give an out from a life of crime for those who want it. He's adopting as many Rosales kids as will have him.

•Getting the Affairs in Order (meta post)
Why you think it deserves the spotlight: This is exactly the kind of plot I love. Unplanned upheavals of the expected are always great to see which characters meet the challenge and which ones flounder. And by the end of it, the whole dynamic is new and interesting.

Spotlight Member: @Fudgecake5

Why you think they deserve the spotlight: Every time I see Fudge around they're just so happy and talkative. They really lighten the feel of the Cbox and all in all have been an A+++ member around here.

Spotlight Character: Georgina Speer

Why you think they deserve the spotlight: Firstly, ADORABLE FC. There, I said it. Cute.

Secondly, a unique way to write a profile! I was reminded of the narrator in The Stanley Parable as I read it.

And thirdly, there seems to be a lot of thought and love put into writing up this character's profile.

Spotlight Plot: I SECOND THE DADGELO PLOT

Explain the plot in a paragraph for those who aren't familiar: Kada already did this thing

Link any relevant threads (especially recent ones): Kada already did this thing

Why you think it deserves the spotlight: Because neither Romi or I planned for this to happen, but somehow Angelo and Shay decided they wanted to bring up the idea of "what would Shay's life have been like if Angelo adopted her before Klaus" and then THIS. Now so many characters are getting weird development. I flippin' love it.

Spotlight Member: @Ballerina

Why you think they deserve the spotlight: Ballerina is always a great member--they're active in the cbox and always quick to greet new members. They're also a great communicator, and come up with some genuinely interesting plots and characters.

Spotlight Character: Phoenix "Nix" Jamston

Why you think they deserve the spotlight: Despite my intense initial dissapointment when I realized they were not actually a phoenix, Nix has been an absolute joy to RP with. They're on the student council, they've got a giant circle of friends... it's always great seeing a newer character getting integrated so well into so many plots.

Spotlight Plot: Listen yall I have a thing to nominate but it has no threads so I'm waiting for it to have threads and I'll edit this in a week hopefully.

@Ashes

Why you think they deserve the spotlight:
I think everyone has seen Ashes about in the chat and I find them to be a wonderful and engaging person. They have diveristy of characters and are quite active (if if they are going a bit slow at the moment). Most of all, they much such wonderful detailed post that I often feel inadequte with my own posts as I can't hope to match their writing style. She puts in so much effort that I think they deserve a place under the spotlight.


Spotlight Character:
Orsick Drakenhardt

Why you think they deserve the spotlight:
Cute lil shadow dragon boy! What is not to like? Orsick are a young member of the illustrations Drakenhardt family and has struck up a beautiful friendship with the other children of SA. Orsick is an interesting character not only for their appearance but for the potential they have going for him which is why I think they should have a chance under the spotlight.


Spotlight Plot:
Going to get this to later.
