A few days ago, I rolled Flockmind in a round on Heisenbee. I did terribly, and after I died for my final time, I began to somewhat complain in deadchat - about how obtuse I found the gamemode, about some parts bugging out and not working, and just overall acted unpleasant.
Leah, who was in deadchat as well, had the grace to put aside my whining to help teach me about what I did right, what I did incorrectly, and solicited feedback, particularly on the parts that bugged out. It would have been entirely understandable to avoid engaging with me because, to my shame, I was acting rather unpleasant.
This manner of grace and patience is a mark of an excellent mentor. On top of that particular example, I can attest to her exemplary conduct in the community. I have no fear at all she would act, as the mentor guidelines put it, "in a way that is insulting or abusive to players".
Of course, while specific knowledge isn't necessary for mentorhood, it is certainly very helpful; and Leah is one of the, if not THE, foremost experts on flock. Her addition to the mentor team would be an excellent boon for players needing answers regarding this nascent game mode.
