@Juri01 here's your commission! I'm so sorry for the delay, I've been having difficulties with inspiration but I hope I did her justice! Let me know if you'd like any edits :)
[quote=Haneul]The day Alec appointed her clan leader, Haneul spent the night poring over the manuscripts and books he’d left her. She forced herself to stay awake, to read and absorb every bit of information that he’d left so as to understand how Alec had lead the clan. She didn’t get a wink of sleep that night, and the next morning heralded sleepy yawns and heavy eyelids.
When she reported bright and early for duty, Azure had laughed at her sorry state, told her not unkindly that a tired clan leader wasn’t good for morale, and put her to bed with a warm mug of milk.
Haneul had protested all the way. She insisted that she had to be Alec’s replacement-- he’d trusted her to fill in for him, after all, and she didn’t want to let him or the clan down, so why wouldn’t Azure let her [i]help[/i]?
Azure’s answer was one she would never forget: the kind fae sat her down, warmth in her eyes, and told Haneul that Alec hadn’t wanted a replacement. He’d wanted a [i]successor[/i]. And bright, disciplined, caring Haneul was the exact kind of dragon the clan needed, not some work-oriented mirror who led from the shadows and stayed away from conflict.
Haneul understood.
The clan now flourishes under hers and Azure’s leadership. Alec had been right-- they did need Haneul-- and after that talk, she was ready, more than ever, to assume responsibility of the role that had been given to her. While Azure handles diplomatic matters and issues of safety, Haneul concerns herself with the wellbeing of the clan. She takes it upon herself to give help to those who require it, draw attention to the needs of dragons and manage the clan’s resources.
It’s no easy task and Haneul often finds herself exhausted at the end of the day, but the reward is more than worth it: there is nothing more satisfying than seeing the grateful smiles of her newfound family.

@blackflamewolf gosh I'm really sorry for the delay! I couldn't seem to find something that clicked with me for your two nocs and I lost the thread for a bit, so these two are on the house if you like!
[quote=Ameratsu][i]Over and over and over again.[/i]
As sure as the sun rises in the dawn and sets in the dusk, she neither stutters nor falters as she calls out each clan member's schedule and gets every detail correct. Confidence lightens her step and optimism does the rest; not once has she failed at her task, not once has her shadow caught up to her and whispered doubt into her ears.
Others may wonder why a sun goddess like her chose to stay in a place as dark and as dreary as the Tangled Wood with only the constellations above to light the way, but so easily do they also forget: the sun is also a star.[/quote]
[quote=Nominosukune]His opponent dances out of reach, tantalisingly close one moment, agonisingly afar the next.
Yet he races on, buffeted and battered by the current, every limb straining and yearning and crying, [i]onwards, to victory[/i], even as his opponent, unhindered by the elements and as carefree as the breeze, mocks his open smile and races ahead of him once more.
He is fated to lose. Over and over and over again (and as surely as the sun rises) but when all is said and done, it must be said of him that he has flown hundreds of races and the only thing that has ever out-flown him is his own shadow.[/quote]

@DictatorNemesis aH I'm really sorry for the delay, I had some difficulty with a previous commission and lost the thread for a while, so yours is on the house if you'd like! let me know if you'd like anything changed, I just went with a gut feeling for her!
[quote=Clockwork]She knows things don't work like they're supposed to in the Tangled Wood.
Yet curiosity overwhelms her and she goes all the same. It's frustrating in the beginning; her instruments don't work and her compass frequently goes on the fritz, but when she finally manages to record the pattern-- north is south, east is also south, and cross your claws if you think you're heading [i]west[/i]-- and master the structure and the sequence, everything starts to make sense.
Nothing happens without reason. Even for a place where magic has few rules and is often lawless, she is determined to establish some order.
[i]It's about time.[/i][/quote]
