fffolks applaud politely for her arrival

Worried thoughts bubble through her head. What if they don't see anything? What if I have no destiny? What if I have a BAD destiny?!

The namer says quietly "It's okay, dear. Your use name is yours tto pick but your true name will help you be your truest self"

Nessa nods, lowering down on bended legs, so that the namer can reach her for anointing as well.

The Namer works her magic, guided by the cantrip even as she guides the cantrip, rubbing the oil on Nessa's brow in a half circle shape with spikes... hey, it smells nice

Nessa finds herself calming down. I wonder if this is how a seed feels. Uncertain, unsure, safe and enclosed, but yet, you have to grow, to sprout, become something new.

Seeking toward the sun and the warmth. She nods to the Namer, ready.

And then ... Nessa glows and plunges into herself, feeling very much like a seed.

And she breaks out, expanding, as a word is whispered in her ear, a name of her true self. She understands better, herself, her world, her role in it, though mystery abounds yet to be delightfully explored

She whispers back to the Namer, sharing her use name to be known to the Fae.

A smile dawning on her face, straightening up and beaming.

And the Namer smiles "An... excellent choice" She speaks up clearer "People of Brightwinds, I present to you- Nessa Dawnchaser!"

She looks to her mentors, her family, her friends and her Baroness, beaming as she meets them for the first time, again, as her full self. She bows deep before Derynwydd, before returning to her place alongside Ganbold!

Sparrow reaches out to cup Nessa's cheeks with her hands. "Congratulations, and welcome to your own dawn, my dear Nessa."

A delighted look, and Nessa reaches out boldly to give Sparrow a quick hug! "Never would have made it without you."

applause and cheers, her parents loud from the side

Sparrow blushes but smiles.

And out comes Rose, she stands tall

which for a centaur is pretty tall

Nessa , itt should be noted, has alterations in her voile, and, a new bit of jewelry. A gift from the Dreaming

(Which she still has, if she hasn't gone by Irene yet…)

And Rose is anointed, bends downn, and her own true name is bestowed!

A gasp, as Rose's garb shifts to crimson and argent, her bow gaining a lion design in the fine wood

more talk between newly sained and Namer , and it is announced "I present to you, Rose Windfury, Squire of House Fiona!"

"YAY!!" Dio applauds

Nessa is astonished, and had to be prodded- then she cheers as well!

Her mom looks still stunned but soon shakes her hair mane like. And she smiles, and bows to the crowd

And Ross comes out, only NOW does some of his own nervous ness show up

Another anointing and a serene wind flows about the room, smelling of sage and campfire.

And the namer announces after "I greet you, Ross Sagespeaker!"

A squeak of surprise and she cheers for her dad!

And just like that, the formal aspects are done, Sparrow welcomes them one and all, and the newly named are free to mingle with friends , or family
