Flower-Crowning

[Prompt: A popular summer tradition that involves art and creativity]
When a young skitter is deemed to have the coveted horns of a royal, preparations begin immediately for the sacred Flower-Crowning. This ceremony will double as a festival for the fawn's whole home island.
Flower-Crowning bears a strong resemblance to a traditional earth-human marriage: a father giving his daughter away to her husband, a transfer of property and belonging. Like a historical female sapiens, a skitter always belongs to a family, tied to an island. For most, this pair of ties will be the island-family to which they were born, throughout life. There are a few scenarios where a skitter island-family changes. Occasionally, an individual will change station in order to mate with a member of another case and join their island-family (such as in the case of Violet Sky's matelotage with Oaks Island's Scattered Acorns). Most rare, and most exciting, is the topic-focused horned skitter, who automatically gains the status of royal and membership in the Sky Tree kinship. In this case, the skitter is considered to have always been Sky Tree's, and simply "on loan" to their birth island. As such, the Flower-Crowning is a fundamentally different ceremony to a caste-switch or a marriage.
The ceremony itself consists of three sleeps and three waketimes of holiday celebrations, culminating in a solemn ritual wherein an established member of Sky Tree's royals welcomes the new skitter into the family. Traditionally, they will place an ornate flower crown on the new royal's head, designed to accentuate the fawn's developing horns. Afterward, a ranked member of the birth family will lead the young skitter to the edge of the island, always maintaining contact. At the shore is a raft piloted by a royal, ready to take their sibling to their new home. They grab the fawn's paws and help them onto the raft, at which point the birth family member lets go: a literal giveaway.
Once both royals are safely situated, a party of aquatic skitters will surround the raft and swim it out, from old home to new. A royal is born, and the Sky Tree is strengthened.
