and from the ashes she stepped into who she always was.”
She has never asked for anything, and she does not know why she wakes up and decides today is the day to start.
It’s not daylight yet, though. It is early morning, that much she can feel in her bones, but it is still dark. That endless dark, the kind that stretches on for what feels like forever, the kind that makes you question if the sun is going to rise, until that first light laces the furthest hillside.
She leaves when it is still infinitely dark, and she arrives at the base of the mountain just as the sun begins to rise behind it.
Her head tilts, the weight of her antlers causing her neck to ache at the movement. She looks up, judging the journey, and with a sigh, she begins to make her way up.
It is not an easy climb, but she supposes it is not meant to be. It gives her plenty of time to think of why she is here, and as her muscles begin to burn and ache with fatigue, it allows her to decide if it’s worth it. She does not like the idea of asking for something; she does not like the idea that she might be considered ungrateful for what she has already been given.
But she cannot stop thinking about her family, namely, her father.
She doesn't know why she cares so much about what he thinks, especially as an adult. But it was something that once it had taken root in her mind, this idea that this was the change she needed to make about herself, she simply couldn't shake it.
She arrives at the top, her coat flecked with sweat, and first streaks of the sunrise in the sky. It is oddly quiet up here; so much quieter than she had thought it would be. She stands for a moment, before finally she calls out, a question, “Hello?” She waits, a faint breeze lifting and stirring the tangled locks of her mane. “I've never asked for anything before, but, I was hoping you could help me.” She wasn’t sure how to phrase her request; wasn’t sure if whoever answered was even going to care.

Aislyn is here to request to express her panther shifting so she can be Just Like Dad <3 I'd like to use my automatic quest that I won in the holiday present thing.
I think she can quest to express this and still keep her other traits but if not she will trade the bravery illusionism. Thank you!
