Serith (#9483)
He has created a couple of feel-good threads that I think are worth noting, such as the forum games Favourite Custom of the User Above You and Compliment the User Above You. Not only do these two games add to Aywas' sense of community, but the threads both encourage people to say something nice about a user they may not even know. I know that his Favourite Custom thread has led to several breeding opportunities and a few conversations some of us wouldn't have had otherwise; as well as inspired other forum games with similar themes. As for his Compliment thread, it can give a much-needed boost on a rough day and is a great way to see the good in people.
In addition, he's generous, kind, easy to talk to, and a great person to approach if you have any questions about custom-making or the site as a whole.

Check back at 11 PM tomorrow for the next spotlight, and be sure to nominate people on the thread.
On the fifth day of Christmas, Aywas gave to me....
A Wish By Hikora (#22246)
Harvest Moon, Tale of Two Cities (for the DS, I don't have a 3DS, so I can't play the 3DS version).
What, no 3DS? I can fix that...hahahaha!! And I'll include the game for 3DS you wanted to ;)
If you haven't already done so, submit your wish on the 12 Days of Christmas thread!

Adiel (#18786)
When I first joined Aywas I had no idea what I was doing and really needed a lot of help . I had not even gotten a chance to post an introduction in the forums when I received a notification that someone has sent me a message; that person was Adiel. Adiel ended up giving me three very nice pets plus several pieces of clothing for my HA. Because of Adiel's kindness and generosity I'm now trying to learn how to help others at Aywas as a way to pay it forward.

A Wish By Marsheliah (#2164)
I'd love to be able to immortalize my two kittens on Aywas. However, the edits required to not make them look like angels, but normal kitties, are far out of my price range. I'd love two Gold Custom Orbs, which, aside from saving up and finding an artist for the edits, would put me right at my goal. It'd still be a ways off, but it'd be so much closer!
How about...
Then you can get the SCC artists to do it for you ;)

Daenerys (#18246)
Why is this user a loved contributor? From making free pets for people to helping me and others with our designs. Dae has always been there for me and is a super kind user. She goes out of her way to make others happy and never asked for anything in return. Like the time she made me a custom based off my cat who had died to help make me feel better. I would buy her whole wishlist if I could :)

A Wish By HightechLowlife (#1000)
I would really like Life (201), a documentary series n_n I had wanted to get it earlier this year but haven't really been able to justify spending the money.
You got it! But you're getting more than that...
Life (2010), Planet Earth (BBC Series), and Human Planet!! Look at the frequently bought together!!

Beer #728
No HA
So this might be a bit awkward, because I've never spoken to Beer before but... I have to nominate her! I think it's safe to say that if you've been here long enough, you can recognize the pets done by Beer. :3 And it's quite a hefty list. As far as I'm aware of, I haven't seen a Beer pet designs thread anywhere. Why am I mentioning this? Beer makes site pets. Pets that can be available to all users when she could be selling them for an obscene amount of in-game currency (because I'm also sure there are some folks out there who would love a Beer custom design, am I right?). She even stated on the forums she works on them ahead of time and you can tell with all that detail (she uses a mouse! o_o omg how ... wow) there must be a lot of work going into them. All for site contributions. Site. Add to that her lair is free for breeding and she welcomes any questions. If that's not contributing, I don't know what is! I don't think aywas would be quite the same without Beer and I think she deserves to be recognized for her hard work. :3 <3

We have decided to award Beer #728 with:
Glittering Skull to get all sorts of cool pets!

A Wish By Aussie Apache (#21839)
A Steampunk Finn. I know it's a lot to wish for, but these guys are just so adorable yet so unreachable~ It's one thing to actually get the potion, but a whole different thing to have a guarantee of getting a Steampunk one.
Thank you for this lovely opportunity~
Let's upgrade that wish...
A Steampunk Finn, a Finn Egg, and a Gold Paintbrush to get the coolest design for the Finn Egg!
If you haven't already done so, submit your wish on the 12 Days of Christmas thread!

Nilaa #5880
It is true that Aywas has tons of hard working staff such as mods, admins, artists, and event coordinators, and while the site would not be what it is without them, there are also there are some unsung heros among the Aywas users that contribute a great deal to the site as well. One of these unsung heros is Nilaa #5880. While Nilaa is not a site staff member, nor colorist what she is is the stuff that makes this site so amazing and sets it apart from all the rest. She spends the majority of her time on Aywas looking for ways to make all of those who cross per path smile. Be it by running give aways, raffles for her species, or just sending out random pick me up messages to people's profiles.
Whenever I'm feeling down, or sad, or just a touch not myself I log into Aywas and inevitably she's posted a little pick me up for me. She really goes out of her way to make people feel loved and appreciated. I am definately not alone in this feeling, she is this way to all she meets. Yes, it is true that she is not the only unsung hero like this on Aywas, but I believe they deserve to be represented as significant and valued contributors to Aywas as well, for they contribute to the Spirit and Joy of Aywas!

Platinum Breeding Coin for some breeding fun!

A Wish By Garai (#4712)
The Kindle Fire would be my ultimate thing. It's something I'd never spend the money on myself for regardless of how much I love to read and drool over it. Ridiculous to even ask for I know but I still thank you for the opportunity at all. I would also be happy with an Amazon Gift Card because I could build up the money slowly and wait awhile til prices go down.
We'll get a Kindle Fire under his tree, and a $50 Amazon Gift Card to stock it with all the coolest books!
If you haven't already done so, submit your wish on the 12 Days of Christmas thread!
