[p]Yesterday was a special day indeed, as it was our favorite rebel’s birthday!  [/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44781365/daf0b4d0e420a03cf5e6d6d987e05e5230243d24.jpg"][/img](Text version below) [/p][p]But! We wanted to do a little more, kind of treat today as a Nora Appreciation Day, so we’ve compiled some of our favorite fanart of her to show to you. Go show the artists some love! [/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44781365/576f22970451e2b5e9f480b188380d68d6a99019.jpg"][/img][/p]

[p][/p][p]Nora’s letter: [/p][p][/p][p]I used to love birthdays.[/p][p]The attention, the candles, the feeling that, just for a moment, I mattered more than anything else.[/p][p]But now, they just remind me of the people I’ve lost.[/p][p]The versions of myself I left behind.[/p][p]When I was younger, I used to dream big on this day. I'd light candles and make the same wish every year: "Let things stay the same."[/p][p]They never did.[/p][p]I’ve spent a lot of time running from that summer, from the truth, from the parts of me that scare even myself. But this year feels… different. [/p][p]Maybe because I’m finally ready to face it. All of it.[/p][p]The bloom. The rage.[/p][p]The fire in the clearing.[/p][p]Some memories never left me, no matter how hard I tried to forget.[/p][p]I thought it would hurt less that way. [/p][p]I’m not sure it does.[/p][p][/p][p]Nora[/p]
