((OOC, for those interested, the letter reads:))

Dear Daddy,

So much has happened since I arrived in Republic City. I found my apartment to be rather nice, even if there's not much in it. Just one room, can you believe it! But I've decorated it with a nice rug I bought a long time ago. It has a window that looks out across the street to a building that's a little smaller. I can't really see the stars though. I miss those so much.

There's a few nice boys that have been watching over me for a couple of weeks now. One of them is a Fire Bender! I don't think he's very good at it. He mostly just holds some fire like a torch so that he can see at night. The three of them have even made friends with the old folks that live upstairs. The old guy up there is soooo funny. He used to work as a guard for the councilors. He tells me he'd be happy to bring me up there for a tour. I might take him up on that eventually.

There's a few not so nice people as well, but I made sure they knew to stop hanging around. This one guy called Adlar, in particular, has helped out with that. He is helping me to chase off this really creepy ninja guy who is practically stalking me. He says he even knows where you live. I don't think he really does, but be careful. I know you went away to get away from all that political nonsense that great grandpapa cursed you with. If you have to, you can come live with me a while.

I don't know if I told you, but I left Karoa. I found out he was spending time with my friend Miwa. I left him the farm. I would hope they are happy together there, but I hear Miwa went nuts after I left and killed him, and then herself.

But that tryst was the reason I moved to the city in the first place.. A new start and a fresh day. I even cut my hair short. Mom would freak, if she ever saw it. If she could. I heard that she passed away. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it was fast and not too painful. She was in the best of health just last year, it seemed. Id there anything else going on out there that I should know?

I recently had a bit of a shock from the city council. I was planning on inviting some of the nobles to help me feed the poor. Took weeks to hear back from them, but they said no. Something about not having sufficient law enforcement resources to allocate to such an activity. It just seems weird to me. I mean, why would they stop someone from doing that kind of work? I suppose it doesn't much matter in the grand scheme for them, but it puts me in a bind. I have all the soup bought and half a dozen super sized-pots littering the front of my room. I think I'll see if I can work in the diner downstairs a while and use it to feed the poor on the sly. They can't stop me from that, can they?

Either way, I think I'll try to make myself less obvious for a good while. I mean, I know that it's going against the council to feed them after being told that I shouldn't, but those people are hungry. They might not survive if I don't. I'll just have to warn them not to let the law know. I mean, if the poor can't trust the council to have their backs, who can they trust? I hope I don't go to jail for it. What if they just execute me! Are the councilors that strict? I have to chance it though, for the people. Maybe I just don't understand this city as much as I thought I did. The brochures all talked about how pretty and nice the place is. I'm sure it's like that somewhere.

I'm a little scared, but I just know I will learn and then everything will be better here.

Hugs and Kisses and all my Love!

Arika Kataka

P.S. Did you know that it's considered normal to enter a 2nd floor home through the window here? This city is soooo weird in some ways.

P.P.S. More hugs and Kisses! I love you!

((OOC: Nakura Kiyo is taking a brief Hiatus from her true villainous plans to learn about the city and its people. She's still available for play, if you are interested. She'll be returning to her more serious plans and evil after Book 1 concludes.
