Player of the Month #56: A Tribute from the Heart: to the women who transform worlds, inside and outside of Tibia

March 8 has passed, but that doesn’t mean the message it carries loses strength. Sometimes, the calendar rushes us, but reflection needs its own time. Today, from an intimate and conscious place, I want to pause to commemorate a date that, beyond its symbolic nature, represents a living, ongoing struggle: International Women’s Day.
This day is not just about celebrating achievements or wearing purple. It’s about remembering the path we’ve already walked and the one we still have ahead. It’s about recognizing the quiet strength that sustains homes, communities, and—why not?—spaces like TibiaGoals. Because yes, even in a virtual world like Tibia, we women build, nurture, lead, and care. We are capable of planting seeds of courage, empathy, and creativity, even in spaces others might not consider important.

The origin of this date is not glamorous. It was born from pain, sacrifice, and the need for justice. The textile workers of New York in 1908 weren’t asking for much—just fair conditions. Their courage started a movement that continues to be woven into our own stories. Feminism is not a trend. It is memory. It is voice. It is action. And it is also community.

Today, I want to share a small part of that community that has meant so much to me. I won’t speak of historical figures, but of real women. Those who may never be in books but who leave a mark. Who have marked my life. Women I know through their keyboards, through their voices on Discord, through their words in chats. Women with whom I share this digital corner, which we’ve turned into something far greater than a fansite: a sisterhood.

LadyMass: The root and the engine

It’s impossible to talk about TibiaGoals without mentioning LadyMass. From the beginning, her vision and dedication have held this space together with an admirable mix of strength and tenderness. Founder, administrator, guide—but also friend, teammate, and multifaceted woman. She works from home for Samsung, teaches English to children—not out of necessity, but out of vocation—and still finds time and energy to lead this community.

I deeply admire her balance. Her ability to stay calm in the midst of chaos, to communicate without losing sweetness, to lead without imposing. Her love for animals, her curiosity for learning, her life philosophy based on constant exploration (“learn something about everything, and everything about something”) inspire me to keep growing, to keep searching and trying, even if my hobbies don’t always last more than a few weeks.

LadyMass has tried crochet, guitar, baking. Maybe none of those stuck around for years, but there’s one thing she’s never wavered on: her commitment to the community and to herself. The way she talks about her self-care routine—how she can spend hours trying out hair treatments or researching skincare ingredients—is not shallow. It’s pure self-love. It’s taking herself seriously. And in a world that constantly demands we put others first, that is a profoundly political act.

Divine’Angel: The light that shines through

There are people whose energy you feel the moment they enter. Divine is one of them. Her name isn’t just a nickname—it’s a statement. She’s direct, honest, transparent. What you see is what you get… and what you get is a lot. Teacher, singer, athlete, digital artist, leader in TibiaGoals. Her life is a symphony of well-orchestrated talents.

What impresses me most about Divine is her ability to stay disciplined without losing her joy. She trains, works, organizes, and yet she’s always ready to share a laugh, an idea, a picture of her three cats. Her love for fitness isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about living in her body with dignity and presence. Her example reminds me that self-care doesn’t have to be in conflict with dedication. That we can be strong and gentle, committed and free, rational and deeply emotional.

When Divine speaks, you can tell she’s truly present. She doesn’t improvise. She reflects. And that’s something to be grateful for in a world that moves far too fast. She is a woman who has learned to hold herself up, and in doing so, also supports those of us lucky enough to walk alongside her.

Dyaniixz: The heart of a warrior

Some people carry strength in their gaze. Dyanixz is one of them. A nurse by profession, a mother by love, a gamer by passion. Tireless. Her life is not easy, but she makes it beautiful in the way she faces it. Every time we talk, she leaves me with a new lesson. The way she speaks about her work, about the care she provides, about empathy as an essential part of healing, deeply moves me.

She doesn’t care because she has to. She cares because she believes in it. Because she understands that a warm gesture can be as healing as medicine. Her baby, her cats, her fascination with Korean culture, her constant presence on the fansite… all speak of a woman with many dimensions, who never hides, who is always present.

Dyanixz reminds me that tenderness and bravery are not opposites. That strength doesn’t mean becoming hard—it means staying firm while still being able to feel. She is a warrior in every sense of the word, and the way she lives—with courage, dedication, and joy—is a constant source of inspiration.

Eveh: Quiet strength

Eve doesn’t need to raise her voice to be heard. Her silence carries weight. Her presence has a depth that goes beyond words. She is noble, fair, consistent. Even if she’s not always at the center, when she speaks, we all listen—because everything she says has roots.

Her life is marked by distance, resilience, and the search for purpose. And yet, she has never stopped being true to herself. Her skill with crochet isn’t just a hobby. It’s a form of expression. Every piece she creates with her hands carries a story, a slice of the universe, a piece of her soul.

Eve has taught me that you can be firm without being harsh, that you can be reserved and still leave a lasting mark. Her ability to love quietly, to maintain healthy relationships, to stay loyal to her principles even in the small things within the game, speaks to a level of maturity I deeply respect.

Bijou Kidi: Creativity that blooms

Klaudia—our Kidi—is a whirlwind of imagination, energy, and sensitivity. Her talent for riddles and for everything she touches with her hands and mind is undeniable. But behind that brilliant creativity is a story of resilience, of deep motherhood, of limitless dedication.

Kidi is one of those women who turn adversity into fuel. Who never give up. Who, if they fall, rise again stronger. Who raise, who build, who shine. She has a unique vision of the world, a way of seeing beauty in the simple, of turning the ordinary into something special. She is a mother, a friend, an artist, a teammate.

Her personal story stays with you—not because it’s been easy, but because it’s been deeply lived. And that shows in how she shows up on the fansite, how she contributes, how she organizes, how she dreams. Kidi is one of those people who make the world more interesting, more kind, more colorful.

_____________________________________________

This edition is a tribute. A “thank you” to myself, too—even if just in the form of words—for being who I am and for everything I’ve worked for to achieve my most longed-for dreams and goals. Because I don’t need to look to the past to find admirable women. I have them right here, beside me. Each of you makes TibiaGoals a special place. With your humanity, your creativity, your strength, and your stories.

Today, I celebrate all of you—not as characters, but as real people. Women who love, care, create, teach, heal, lead, laugh, and endure. Women who inspire me. Women I admire.

Even though it’s no longer March 8, the spirit of that day lives in us every day. Let’s keep walking together toward a world where every voice matters, where every story counts, where equality is not a distant ideal but a tangible reality. Let’s keep creating spaces where being a woman is not a constant battle, but full, vibrant freedom.

Thank you for existing,

Thank you for being,

Happy International Women’s Day, always.
