NANI’S BEGINNINGS
Nani joined the community on January 20, 2025 and quickly rose through the ranks, attaining the Staff-in-Training role by late February. During her time in this position, she participated in several tournaments, including Around the World Cup II, Frost Frenzy, and Candy Crush Brawl. As an active member of the Scarlet Republic, Nani earned the staff position in March and subsequently joined the HCOM team on May 1st.

What inspired you to pursue a position as an HCOM within Scarlet Republic?
What mainly inspired me to become an HCOM was my love for the Scarlet Republic community, as well as being surrounded by such kind and admirable people. I also wanted to help Spanish speakers and make them feel welcome.
Is there any advice you would give to upcoming or aspiring HCOM members?
Enjoy the learning process, make sure to practice, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Try to see it as something fun, do it with love! Don’t stress, and remember that there are many people looking out for you and willing to lend a hand.
What has been your favourite or most memorable moment so far?
I would definitely say it was when I led a room in a non-PB battle at ATWC2. When I saw that we won that room, I felt really proud of myself. I would also say that getting to meet my friends, other army members, and of course all my girl friends has been very memorable.
In your opinion, what is the best part about being part of the HCOM team?
I think the best part is helping others and being useful. I really enjoy talking to new members, getting them to join our penguin warfare, and of course having a say in what we plan to do as an army.
Lastly, do you have any plans or goals you hope to achieve within Scarlet Republic?
I would love to continue improving myself and learning more in this field of armies. I aspire to help Scarlet Republic keep growing, leave a legacy we can be proud of, and help make it a safe and fun place for everyone.
Even though Nani is relatively new to the Scarlet Republic, she has definitely made a strong impact through her dedication and involvement. Her presence has quickly made her a valuable part of the army. What would you hope to see Nani achieve in the future with the Scarlet Republic? Who would you like to see in the next edition of HCOM life stories?
