[LostInTheOrchids]

Finally, you've given me
A reason to be strong
And we'll stand
Hand in hand
'Til the end

Despite the past mistakes we can't erase
A future that we can't escape
As long as I can always keep you safe
I've gotta be strong
So to your name
I'll fight through the pain

This world can
Beat me down a hundred times
But into the light I'll always rise
A lotus flower's so pure
Right up to the end
Until it blooms
A bright red

I can hear the lightning
There's not a song more frightening
And like a storm you can't control some things in this world
Not everything can be protected
I already know that

Good and evil, they will always want to intertwine
Our true nature hiding beneath the surface
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me-
I don't need you
Like a wild flower growing tall
There is beauty in the way you live and thrive despite it all

This road is
Overgrown with deadly thorns
Like an endless night of violent storms
But for your sake, through all the twists and turns
I'll try to be brave
With only my love
I'm rising above

So, the real questions are, Why, Why, and most importantly, Why.
Why should Nightshard have the rank?

> While a new submission to the clan, Nightshard is one prickly girl, and she wont tolerate any disrespect to those of higher rank, no matter who they are. She has a rough shell, but is really truly kind once you get to know her.

> She's an openminded fellow, yet also stubborn, and will not change her point of view unless signifigant evidence or a very convincing argument is had.

> She's willing to take new knowledge if she believes it will be of use to her, or her clan.


Why Should you have the rank?

> I have a discord!

> Although I've had brief periods of inactivity, I try not to stay away for too long anymore.

> At this point in time, WCO needs dedicated people who stay and keep their roles for long periods of time, there's been too many RC rank changes within the past few months.

> OOC I'm fairly well aquainted with herbs and their uses in the Warrior Cats setting.


Why do you want the Rank?

> I've been here for 4 years, and I feel as if i've honed my abilities as sharp as they'll get without a rank of some kind.

> A person such as me, who's been here for 4 years, with a few, but scattered hiatuses, I can be trusted to keep the rank.

> My main cat at the moment, Duskpaw, I've had since september, and has gone missing once, and while i was taking a mental health break at that. Previously, i had another cat that I've had since 2020, Graytail (previously RC too so).

> I feel my knowledge and quick learning of new things will assist me in a new rank.
