I give my FULL witness of both awards to the nominated individual...a lot...like, REALLY a lot. I say this because I was literally recruited into KSI little over a week before hatter was recruited in, which is nearly "duo" years ago (see what I did there?) coming February, and time and time and time AND time again I have had dealings with hatter since we first met, even up until my last days of being her boss before I stepped down. First and foremost I'll start with an analogy before going into detail on how it will pertain to my descriptive explanation of my witness proposal.
The norm of humans is to reside within an untouched picture or painting canvas. With this, these individuals are to compose a product within their own sanctity. When the product is done, it's usually within the same borders of the canvas. When one goes outside of the canvas, these kind of people are classified as either geniuses, bright and gifted, insane, rebels, or a combination of either of these few listed attributes. Of course any of it is up for constructive argument and debate but to put it, while seeing it, simply is that this is the general description. Hatter lies beyond the canvas borders and she does it flawlessly.
Now back to subject at hand. To this day, since we both were first recruited into KSI, I do not see much of hatter as being insane or anything related to insane, just has a tough character attached to herself. Of course I can see how some people can look at her character differently than I do but just remember, we are all different and unique in our own way. Hatter has hers and it is definitely something to be admirably feared AND feared admirably. While I may have gone up the ranks faster than she because of my more calm and understanding character, this still posed situations and opportunities to lookout and teach those to be more tolerable people. Hatter was one of those people. To be honest, I have had more encounters with her that involved a problem or multiple problems than I can recall. But with all of those problems, WE were able to work it out, learn from it, and then use that knowledge to teach others from making the same mistake(s).
The tough mind and bold personality of hers is definitely a double-edged sword. While it may rub things the wrong way (and it has very much at times), it also has the greatest potential to present oneself as a great teacher and leader (and it has shown itself very, very, VERY much all most all the time). And I can honestly say that appointing her to be a leader, especially a 7, was one of the best things I could have done to have by my side as a leader, a good friend, and most of all, someone I can call my sister (though we are not related by blood, just the level of respect and care I have for her). She’s definitely the type of person one should keep an eye on so she doesn’t cause any trouble but more carefully keep and hold onto in order to help each other make a beautiful "masterpiece.â€
I hope my explanation through a simplified version of the Iceberg Theory was not too confusing but I prefer to explain myself in a much more deeper understanding than the norm. Through this is the true understanding of walking through life where the earth beneath one’s feet is soft.
With much warm regards,
