From beneath the rim of her straw hat. Shana was grinning maniacally with excitement, gleefully anticipating the upcoming tournament. There as gonna be so many new opponents! So many new decks! Flikkar had to be excited about this, too! For a tiny flame, that little guy sure loved to duel!

She frowned slightly at the mention of a glitch messing things up, but they seemed to be on top of that. Official matches shouldn't be delayed too long, hopefully. Once the speech was over, the red-headed avatar of boundless energy quickly made her way into the stadium, marveling at the prospective opponents around her.
She was well aware of her chances of failing. She wanted to duel as many people as possible, but winning everything was something she could recognise as being far too unrealistic Regardless, that shouldn't get in the way of enjoyment. Duel Monsters was a game, after all, and the most important thing about it was that you simply had to have fun!

Shana reached into her pouch, where her deck was located, and drew.the top card, looking at Flikkar with an excited grin, "So, little buddy," she whispered, "Whaddaya say we put on an epic show and go down blazing, huh?"
