Rei Nagato
As she walked through the gates of Kasai, Rei smiled and let her mind wander to thoughts of potential adventures in the capital of the Fire Nation. She was pretty sure she looked bizarre to the natives, with her airbender garb and lack of arrows. She could practically already feel the stares of the people garbed in reds, golds, oranges, and maroons. Rei didn't really care, though. She simply liked the experience of being in a new place. People weren't her real concern, unless they were powerful people who could arrest her or a bending master who could teach her. Ignoring the stares, Rei walked with her bow staff and looked at her new surroundings.
Already the surroundings were vastly different from the Earth Kingdom cities and the Water Tribes. The city was far more industrialize and... what was the word... metallic. The air around this city seemed heavily, warmer, and thicker... but it was still so beautiful to Rei. The smells of metalworking, market foods, and flowers (particularly jasmine) drifted through the wind. Rei let out an even larger smile. She liked jasmine tea.
Then a very, very unpleasant smell wafted up into Rei's nose. The stench of rotting garbage. She looked over to her left to see rotting food in a large bin next to a restaurant serving curry and other spiced foods. Rei's nose crinkled in response to the horrid smell. In order to get the smell away from her, Rei lifted up a petite hand and attempted to make a small breeze to move the smell in another direction. However, considering her track-record with successful airbending, Rei unsurprisingly failed. The small breeze was instead a large gust of wind, and though it eliminated the stench of garbage, up ahead a block or two, the gust knocked over a cabbage stand and sent at least twelve cabbages flying. "MY CABBAGES!!!" the cabbage vendor shouted.
"Sorry! I never meant for it to be that big of a gust!" Rei apologized as she ran over to help the man pick up the scattered cabbages.
