"Ammy has been a member of TEFc for, well, even longer than I have. And in all the time I can remember, never once has she gotten into a fight with anyone, not once has she said anything bad, or cruel or otherwise unkind to any member of this community. She's always been soft spoken, a quiet girl, she's often overlooked, or otherwise forgotten about by this community, but she doesn't complain about it, she's never whined or been upset because she feels as if she's not getting the attention she deserves, and she does deserve attention, as much as we can all spare.

She's happy to interact with anyone and always has been, if someone needs help she's always been willing to step in and offer them assistance even if she's never spoken to them before. She gives endlessly without ever asking a single thing for herself. More than that, she doesn't do these things out of some felt obligation, she does it because helping others makes her happy, because she is genuinely nice, which is such a rare thing in this day and age. She is honestly made joyful when she knows she's made someone else happy, and I believe it's time that she got something, anything, more than I can give, in return for her kind and gentle nature.

Always willing to help people with sets no matter how complicated, even if they need a mini spell or the crying mask, she's spent countless hours helping me alone with my deer, god knows how many others she's spent her time helping, and again without asking anything in return, just because she likes to be helpful, because making others happy makes her happy.

She's active in the forest, on every day that she's online, even if she's only quietly stalking over the community. Her characters are beautiful. They're each interesting, fascinating even, and none of them reject others for ridiculous reasons like not being popular or not being part of a clique. Let me go over Talla however, because she is who I'm suggesting.

Talla is a beautiful character, she treads the line of being 'shy' without being weak or impossible to get to know. She's characterized brilliantly and has had major character development over the years. She doesn't judge other deer based on appearances, which means that everyone, from the most natural looking deer, to the most mutilated and horrifying, have equal chances to call her a friend. Patricia has also always been wonderful about allowing Talla to be chased or wounded without complaining that her deer is being singled out. She's just a good sport about everything life and the forest in general throws at her.

Her physical design is one of the best I've ever seen, it's delightfully simple without being boring, her mask has a rich history behind it and is one that I don't see used very often despite how beautiful it is in both looks and sound. Her small stature comes from the fact that she's based off an actual deer breed, rather than being small for the sake of being small.
Each little scar she has comes with a story, and are never given lightly, or without meaning, which is something I appreciate so much in any design and which is used in a subtle, wonderful way on Talla.

She's played in-forest with subtlety I've never seen on a character before, every C-button cock of the head or step to the side has worlds of meaning that most people probably don't even pick up on unless they're talking to Ammy herself and it's fantastic that she's managed to breath so much life into this little doe with the tools she's been given. She manages to express emotions as endless as the forest is. More endless, because the forest simply runs in circles and Ammy's portrayals go on in their own little infinity.

Back to Ammy now.

Her biographies are lovely, they're never too complex, never harmful on the eyes and she's always careful to make sure that the coding works for everyone, not just that she thinks it's pretty, everything about her is wonderful and accessible, no one ever has to feel uneasy around her or wonder if she's judging them because she's not, there simply isn't a cruel or mean spirited bone in that girl's body and it shows in every action she takes and word that she does, she has a personality, a soul, that is so often taken for granted, or looked over because they don't make a huge fuss, because they don't draw attention to themselves or ask for everyone's eyes to be on them. It's a trait I know for a fact I wish I had, as it is, I'm glad I get to be around someone like that, because she's a huge positive influence.

In short, I believe Ammy deserves this because every so often, we really need to draw attention to the quiet, sweet people who really make this forest, and this community, worth staying and playing in. Even though she doesn't ask for attention, she definitely deserves it, and rewarding people for their kindness, is, and always will be, the best way to spark kindness in other beings."
