As many of you now know, Kethra met her end after a dramatic and final accounting. There are far too many to name, because she was my longest played character - but I'll try and note a few who I truly miss and am grateful for. If your name isn't here but you're on my discord, I'm sorry, I just have terrible memory. You're loved.
To the Coven - Lucretia, Vestelle, Zerich, Stregabor, Aellfric, Vama and all ancillary characters I won't name just in case they're not outed yet - thank you for the last few months of her play; you were all wonderful, gripping, and I miss you dearly.
To the House of Vigilance - Kenneth, Viridovix, Ellianara, Osric, Adimien, Baldur, Zalata, Arthur, Charissa and everyone else; I'm so sad it ended so suddenly with a fracture. I'm truly grateful for all of the time we got to spend together.
To Guldorand - Lora, Eshima, Sewell, Nataliya, Atticus, Gabriel Freeman, Raymonde, Mei, Eduard - you were all fantastic.
To Siegfried. Words cannot describe how much I was devastated when our characters parted ways, and I'm glad they came back together in the end. I always, always had fun with you, thank you for being Kethra's source of strength and safety for so long.
Hunter Belladonna. I swear, you came into Kethra's life like a whirlwind for what, a week? - and left her utterly heartbroken, and it wasn't even a romance thing! I struggle to think of another character she (and I) just -immediately- clicked with, you know?
Naradil. You were a fantastic 'nemesis' bestie. I adored the civility with which we had our discourses, despite theoretically being completely opposing foes. Kethra really respected and liked Nara, and that scene in the Lotus the night before her capture will live rent free in my head for a long time. I wish we'd had more time!
Freya Montgomery, her first fiancee. Things kind of collapsed after the war, we were all feeling pretty burnt out, and what could've been a sweet and enduring love story fell apart with the horrors that both our characters witnessed. You're a wonderful player, and I miss you.

Thank you, so much, for making Kethra one of my most enjoyable and worthwhile characters so far. She was loved, she was hated, and she was inexplicably infamous. Whether you liked or loathed her - you knew her; and that's been the absolute weirdest insanity of my life in all my 18 years of playing here.
