Velaris Ly'enn

I was raised in June of 2006.

The Grays are always so much fun and so welcoming! I was told so many times that I was Green (and some people still do :p) and I had a hard time deciding as a Novice. I didn't have the opportunity to guest back then so I didn't get to guest with the Greens. In the end the Grays were the best fit for me!

Not really. I can be diplomatic when I need to though. :p

I'm not into politics or discussing them.
- How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
My time as citizen was so awesome! I had my first sister, Miridyth, with me during that time and we had a lot of fun. We were the ones that started the "WAS" table in the tavern and had a blast in real life as wenches!
My time as Novice was another amazing time here. They made Miridy and I roommates and we caused all kinds of havoc.

Once you meet some in person, you start to "hear" their posts differently. We have such a blast when we are together and tend to get very little sleep. :p
