Rina Sister Graduation
February 15 2015
Rina's big day finally arrived for here, and as all other Demoiselles before her, the day was special and marked a great achievement. The community gathered to celebrate her path fulfillment as Sister. Maitre Thomas gaver her the final task, and Kely was her Sister Mentor. The following are the special words spoken on Rina's behalf.
Vette: "Maitre Thomas, will you please speak in support of your pupil and let us know your recommendation."
MAITIRE THOMAS gave Rina her final task, and here are the words he shared on her behalf:
"I am Speaking as her task Maitre. I first met Rina (subrina.wildrose) as a Demoiselle some time ago and we have been friends since then. Rina is always easy to get along with and is a most pleasing and helpful submissive," turns to Rina...."Is that Submarine Rina?"
"I felt honored. Therefore when she approached me to guide her through her final task and to give my considered appraisal and recommendations on her suitability for advancement to sisterhood, I readily accepted.
"In Rina's final task, was the requirement to push her limit of Humiliation. Rina and I met a few times to discuss what the task would consist of and what her limits were, her toys and what access to her RLV would be provided.
"In discussion I learned some of the things that made her scared, our of her comfort zone, so those things I was going to use during her final task. My questions were; would she handle being naked and treated as an object, being Humiliated in front of people. Would she respond to the stimuli of touch and restraint?
"Rina entrusted herself to me, and didn't add any further restrictions, as we met before the scene started. Oh the poor little lamb, grins. The scene involved her mouthing off to me, and then me taking control and putting her in tight bondage, and then showing people in the library how she would be treated as a brat that.needed correction.
"Girls, my advice to you is, never hit a Master with a snowball, we won’t forget it.
"Rina, did very well handling what I gave her and emoting her feelings of embarrassment and finding ways to deal with it. In the dungeon, Rina fully showed her submission, with and service, with her arousal proving her worth as submission and that is sister material. Rina answered all of my questions about her behavior and passed with flying colors.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending that Rina be allowed to graduate as a full Sister of Roissy Val d'Oise. I believe that she will be a considerable asset to the sim and will enjoy assisting and mentoring the newer Debs and demoiselles and I know that new dominants will benefit greatly from her experience as indeed all Masters and Maitres from her service."
Vette: Sister Kely please add your thoughts on the training of Demoiselle Rina as her Sister Mentor.
Kely was Rina's Mentoring Sister, and here are the words she spoke on Rina's behalf:
"Greetings Maitre/esses, Masters, Sirs, my Sisters, Familie and guests. It is my incredible honor to join E/everybody up here in support of, and celebration for, my dear friend and soon-to-be Sister Rina as she steps into her new life among the Sisterhood here at Roissy VdO.
"Very early on in her journey, my Master and I had the great privilege to work closely with Rina. As many others of you I'm sure, we grew quite fond of her quite quickly and easily. It's been a great joy to watch her bloom into the beautiful submissive she is today. I could not be more proud of her.
"Rina fully immersed herself into the Demoiselle experience always with an optimistic and cheerful outlook on all situations with a willingness to serve and to help others. I watched her bloom as a hostess, now a regular DJ - one can't help but smile in her presence.
"She always puts time and thought into everything she does and was dedicated to perfection with every one of her tasks - especially her Workshop Demonstration on RLV and Sister Event. The memories of rehearsing and performing the ABBA Tribute Concert - bringing her dream to reality - are ones I will always cherish. It was so humbling to have been a part of something so special to her that she felt compelled to share with the entire VdO family ... brought me to tears at times.
" I'm certain she has no idea how much just being around her has taught me, for we never stop learning ... our paths merely continue with a new outlook. *smiles warmly with a soft wink in her direction* We are now gathered to celebrate her success, a journey well-traveled, with anticipation she will continue to lift and inspire those who travel their own paths behind her.
"Maitre Rene and Vette, it is my deep honor and sincere privilege to offer my recommendation that Rina take her place within the Roissy VdO Sisterhood."
Vette: Sister Nara I believe you were asked to speak on the behalf of the Demoiselle Rina as well.
Nara, a Samois Admin Assistant spoke on Rina's behalf, and here is what she said:
"Seems so long ago that Rina and I met. Can recall that first time that we offered friendship to each other. She were sitting alone on the bench at the bottom of the steps, I was walking around, saw her, stopped. We had only exchanged 'hellos' before, but something compelled me to talk with her further.
"I was a few weeks ahead on my path, soon approaching my initiation she was new. We quickly discovered that we were both healing from past. rather sad, experiences and had found this wonderful home of VdO to begin anew.
"In that first brief meeting we both felt that this was going to become a lasting friendship due to so many similarities, we became buddies. That relationship has not lessened, in fact grown, more so in the past few months.
"We have helped each other over stumbling blocks, shared secrets that we know are not repeated to others. We are both rather quiet individuals yet can make others laugh (or grumbling if we dare do our "we are Canadian" gestures.) *grins to Rina*. Should we Rina?
"Rina is a loving, caring and compassionate soul who eagerly assists others, both visitors and members. She gives everyone the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions. A lesson we could all learn from her.
"Rina I am proud that you and I are close friends and hope that our friendship will be firmly cemented for as long as you put up with me. You will make a wonderful addition to the growing sisterhood . Congratulations Rina, love you and may your personality always shine brightly to others as it has to me."
In closing Maitre Rene spoke to Rina, and here is what he said:
Rene looking at the Demoiselle before him then along the platform. Recalling all of their supportive words as he does. I look out towards the gathered community, friends and family feeling very proud.
Reaching into my pocket I remove a piece of neatly folded but worn linen stationary, where I had taken notes along her journey.
"You see here before you ...a sweet girl one that has honored her path.
"She was accepted into the house Of Samois as a Debutante June 10, 2014.
"She progressed and moved on to the time of her Initiation on August 8, 2014 where she served and was opened by Dominates of Chateau Roissy Val D’ Oise and became known as Demoiselle Rina.
"Her journey continued as she trodded along not to slow and not to fast but at a pace to learn and absorb on December 13, 2014 she gave an amazing workshop on Fun with RLV.
"She continued along next with her well planned Sister Event as she presented, “A Tribute to ABBA”.
"Her Final Task was given to her on January 12, 2015.
"It was a test of her Submission based upon her strengths and weaknesses.
"Vette received a notice of recommendation from Thomas on January 27, 2015 that all was completed and she was worthy of Sisterhood.
"Now today she kneels before us February 15, 2015 to receive what she had committed herself too, her ring and title of Sister.
" You have heard about her journey that brings her here today, her day.
"Her commitment that has brought her here is a true inspiration for those who still have to complete their journey”
Rene looks at her and smiles. He takes Rina’s hand now digging deep into my pockets searching for the ring before finding the correct one. With a little relief and a confident smile he finds it and places it onto Demoiselle Rina’s finger crouching forward speaks softly to her “Congratulations Rina you will inspire many."
Turning to Samois Supervisor, he said, "Please Samois Supervisor Vette, give our newest Sister her rightful tag and let’s welcome her into sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise."
Vette™ (yvettesapphyre): "Sister Rina, please stand and take a moment to speak to all your friends assembled here today.
Here is the speech Rina gave:
"Wow ....so overwhelming, thank you all so very much for your kind words. This past week after learning my graduation date...I did a lot of reflecting. First i couldn't believe I actually did it...I reached the light at the end of that long tunnel. The ups and downs, the struggles....the journey that brought me here today. In looking back I see what we are always told, it’s not about the destination but about the journey.
"The people we meet and the challenges we face....it’s about the adventure.
"Maître Rene, we really do not know each other.... but without knowing it you have given me a new beginning. By providing this wonderful place you helped me find myself again, to heal, to learn and to grow. Not only as a submissive but as a person and I thank you for that.
"Thank you Maître Thomas for being my final task mentor.....you did indeed challenge me. You took me out of my comfort zone with my playing the role of the mouthy brat...*smiles*...I certainly deserved to be punished! You tested my limits with guidance and confidence. I had total trust in you and I am proud to call you my friend as well as my final task mentor.
"Vette.... I cannot thank you enough for all you do here, you are the cog in the wheel of VdO that keeps all the other wheels turning. You are, in my opinion, under-appreciated for all the hard word you do for us. To be a sister of VdO is to be one of the best and you are the perfect example of what that means.
"And my Kelcooo....*smiles bright*....my mentoring sister. You helped me through many of my challenges. You were always there when i needed you with words of encouragement and support., not to mention your wonderful singing voice as Anni-frid....so much fun and a memory i will always cherish. Thank you for all you have done for me.
" My dear friend Nara....you are truly the gem of VdO. You are one of the first i met landing here, you took me on my tour and made me feel very welcome. Little did I know at that time how much you would come to mean to me. You make me laugh..... I’m not sure how many times i have spit my coffee out in laughter while chatting with you. You never cease to amaze me with your humor, wit and insight. VdO is lucky to have you as I am lucky to be able to call you my friend.
"My heart is filled with thanks for all of you. Everyone we interact with on our paths, whether it be a word, a discussion, a task, a scene or even just an observation, no matter how insignificant it may seem, molds us into who we become. Each and everyone of you have all touched me in some way and are a part of why I am up here today.
"It is no secret that the most wonderful thing I have gained from my path here is finding my future Master..... Maître NH Allen. I'm not sure which was harder...waiting 6 years for me to find him or waiting 5 months for him to collar me. We all have our challenges....... Maître NH and I certainly had ours, both as individuals and as a couple. Many times I was close to giving up but he gave me the strength, encouragement and support I needed to continue. I could stand here and sing his praises happily but I will save that for the collaring ceremony. I will say that I know that I am a very lucky girl. When you least expect it the most amazing things can happen.
"In closing I would like to encourage everyone to accept your challenges with an open mind and a open heart. Remember we all struggle and everyone you touch takes a piece of you with them.... Thank you."
Vette: "Master Rene that concludes the ceremony, as the House of Samois is proud to see another of its Demoiselles take her place in the wider community. May I now invite you to close the proceedings witnessed here today?"
Rene turning to the newest Sister smiling..
"This is your day Sister Rina. "
He raises his glass, "Come everyone and raise your glass with me in congratulating and welcoming her into sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise It's time to live up to your success, smile and take a bow ! Congratulations Sister Rina.
"A time for you to reflect and celebrate on your past, present and future. A time to rejoice and celebrate. Rina, it is with honor to call you a Sister of Roissy Val d’ Oise.
"I encourage each of us as members to take a look deep inside ourselves, be the example setters for others as we lead and guide.
" With the New Year of 2015 off to a good start, let us each work together and share ideas.
"Please keep up to date on all our events, workshops, interviews and much more by viewing our web page and calendar at www.roissy-vdo.com
"Let us grow as a community as we seek to move forward.
"My door is always open if you wish to share ideas or just need to talk. And also my IM phone open.
"I thank you all from deep in my heart for sharing in your time and showing support today to Rina. The closer we bond the stronger we become.
"Congratulations again Sister Rina.
" Please join us in the Chateau Garden for Rina’s Graduation celebration as one of SL’s finest performs “Somewhereintime Jupiter” for a celebration dance."
