After a long hiatus, we're revisiting the Featured Member posts of yore. Each month, we'll shine the spotlight on a special member of the community. This month's Featured Member is  hiith,

hiith has been a community member for just over a year. Besides being regularly involved with the forums, hiith helped put together both the Canon and Non-Canon Memrise courses, and has created several custom dragon rune fonts:

Check out the interview with hiith below!

Drem Yol Lok! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Yes. I am a male of 16 year of age. I live in a small community in Louisiana, USA. I value knowledge, so I read a lot of books and do a lot of research on what-ever I find interesting. 

How did you first become interested in the Dragon Language?

I became fascinated with constructed languages around the time that I was introduced to Skyrim (I seem to always play video games when they've passed their peak in popularity). I wanted to learn a constructed language, and the Dragon Tongue was the only one that I was even remotely familiar with. 

Are there any other languages that you speak?

Other than English and Dragon Tongue, no. But I'm learning Spanish and Furbish, and there's too many more that I want to learn. I even hope to make my own language eventually.

Any projects that you're currently working on? 

Oh, always. At the moment, I'm in the midst of creating a new dragon-rune font, a Torsha font for koorahlok, a website to document the Furbish language in-depth (this project is way over my head!), and I'm knitting a hat (this project is going on my head! :P). I may actually be relatively inactive here for a while after I publish the next dragon-rune font because of how much I have to do, but I'll be far from gone.

Favorite Dragon Shout?

Become Ethereal. Dragon shouts carry much meaning, and this one really hits home, especially for joorre. It's also great as a game mechanic, with Call Storm not far behind it in my book.

Thanks for the interview! 

You're welcome!

Drem Yol Lok from a fellow knitter! Is this your first time knitting a hat, or are you old hat at this? *buh dum CHH* (I'm so sorry. It was begging to be said.)

Should it not be "you old hat this"?

Old hat is an american idiom. :P
