Rhiannon's stylist had been rambling on and on about how fabulous she would look for the past few days. And she wasn't going to lie, the capitol had done her right for once. She did look great. Rhiannon had a sparkling golden train that followed delicately behind her. Her stylist had also adorned her paws with bracelets made out of wire which had glowing orbs on it. A simple golden head chain rested upon her head. But the main event was the glow-in-the-dark gold that dusted over her dark coat. She wasn't sure if it was some type of powder or dye, but it was fun to look at. She stepped onto her "chariot" and gasped as she was taken to the sky. Ironically, she felt her brain short-circuit at the new revelation. Her now-gold claws dug into the floor. But when they slowly descended back to the ground she relaxed a little bit. She looks down and her copper-colored eyes meet the eyes of a young cat holding an amber-colored lantern. She gasped, her eyes flying wide. She then gave them a small smile and waved a paw. She slowly grew more comfortable and started laughing as she gazed down at them. How small they looked. She felt on top of the world for once. Those thoughts wouldn't get her sponsors though. She climbed onto the edge of her chariot and waved her tail back and forth, looking down. It was a bit scary how far the ground was from up here. Despite that, she took a deep breath and shook out her fur for all to see. She opened her eyes and saw the dust on her fur glowing. Fireflies were released and flew around her gently. She gave a silent thanks to her stylist before she went back into waving down at the tributes. ------------------ When she got off the chariot, she jumped off gracefully. She made brief eye-contact with her stylist before padding into her dressing room. Her stylist, Wren, quickly followed after her. "You did great, Rhiannon. I did not expect you to nearly jump off your float," they laughed nervously. Rhiannon looked away from them as they removed her attire. After a moment though she mumbled a quick "thank you."
