Fanmix: Cobblestone Promises - Agt. South Dakota (RVB)

This is the part where I admit South Dakota has never been a favourite character, and will probably never be. She arranged it so that her brother would be in a dangerous situation, where he probably wouldn't survive. But I also have to recognize her strength of character, able to do what she has to in order to survive and carry on. There's always more to a person than what we can see, and I know that my ideas of loyalty, of being there for someone till the end, (especially those who are blood-kin or a chosen family) can be unhealthy. There's a time when you have to put yourself first.

Sometimes, the best choice is to walk away, sometimes, it's to stop and let go; and sometimes, being able to live another day and remember those who are gone is the only course you can take. Dying for someone is worthless - there's nobody left to carry on - but living, making the most of what you have left, that has to be admired.

So yes, this is a mix for South Dakota, but just facets of her. It's a rather lonely mix, solely focused on her. Not one half of the Twins, part of the Dakotas, one side of a team. Always half of a part and never the whole. She has always been in the shadow of her brother (and the younger sibling to boot), perhaps it's time she had her own path.
