Well... now that the draft is over, I think it's a good time to do this. Because of all the fighting we have do while we're here, either by choice or by force, it's a good idea to have some understanding of combat in case of an emergency. From what I heard about this last battle, even the people who took refuge weren't able to stay out of the fight. We can't really afford to take chances like that anymore, and I'd like to do something about that- so I have a proposal for the girls of Luceti.

First of all, I'm Suki. I know I look young, but where I'm from, I lead a group of girls known as the Kyoshi Warriors. We're well-trained in combat, and the focus of our style is a mix of defense, stealth, and using our opponent's strength against them. Girls are often smaller and not as strong as men, and it's very important to never view that as a weakness.

None of my warriors are here right now, but I want to start the group here anyway. There's no age limit, no experience needed, you just have to be willing to listen and learn. If you'd like to join, or ask me questions, please, let me know, okay? And if you don't want to get involved in my group, Buffy runs a fighting school as well, and I'm sure there's plenty of great teachers willing to help there, too.

I just don't want to see anyone else get hurt if it can be avoided, so... I hope you'll all think about it.

[Oh yes, absolutely relevant to her fighting style.]

You've never had it?

My father is the leader of the British Knights and my mother is the only woman capable of ever defeating him if what people say is correct. Both are great fencers as well as my brother, so I've been practicing since I was young due mother's insistence.

[This is probably one of the first times she has said so much about her family, though she's still leaving some details aside, but those don't really matter now.]

That's not a bad number at all. It'll feel like a real class. Though are there, um, uniforms involved?

We wouldn't have to split up. You'd be like... Aang's bodyguards.

[He maaaay have got that idea from another AU.]

Okay, I can do that!

And there's a whole lot of us who can fight. That means more potential teachers.

That's true. Then...I guess you'll tell us when it's time to start? Unless there's something I should be doing now. [Some kind of a test? An inspection? Some kind of preparations she should be making?]
