hi everyone! as much as this is a celebration to crane, it's also sort of a letter, a memorial if you will. cranehymn has always been so special to me. cranehymn was the first litter cat that I put my whole heart and soul into and won. i feel that once cranehymn came into my life, tfc did too. of course tfc had been there before that, but i feel as if cranehymn was what got me so connected to the community. i met some of my bestest friends from her, and i've learned and grown so much. as much as this day is exciting, it also makes me upset, because after this, cranehymn will not be around for much longer. i always planned to kill her off this year, as i've been looking for new characters, and honestly, i'm truly not sure what to do with her after lioncrane plot until her death. i'm sure i'll plot with curserenewal, or some other cat in her family. the other reason i'm scared of this day is that once she dies, i won't be able to roleplay her anymore. i hope that doesn't spoil her death too much, as i want to keep it a secret until it happens, but once she dies, call me cringe, but honestly an era, or a part of me is going aswell. crane has always been one of my most favorite characters i've had, as she, and what surrounded me as she grew was soso special. so thanks. thank you to bree for everything. i thank you for choosing me as her winner, but also supporting me throughout her entire life, and also becoming one of my closest friends. thank you to clara and shiitake for roleplaying her sisters. i remember when invis was a gc, and we had to communicate all of our info to shiitake via scratch. i also remember plotting with both of you, and that was so fun. thank you to rowan for rping lionwander and stripesnap. you are such an amazing person, thank you for our constant plotting with both of your characters, and the plots to come. lioncrane was incredible, thank you. thank you to addi for roleplaying seraphimsurmise, although our roleplays were short, they really meant a lot. thank you to avi for roleplaying cloverhaven, and being the best mentor (bully) to crane, it was so fun roleplaying with you and becoming so close. and finally, thank you to the rest of invis fam and in tfc who ever supported her and me. i love all of you, thank you for helping me build this amazing character <333.
