It was cold, the dampened sky causing the air to grow thick, breath escaping a pair of lips in wispy tendrils. A woman standing near with a bag slung over her shoulder, few belonging to her name stood near. A figure of intimidation, disciplined eyes behind a mask, a body of muscle with hair that threatened to drag the ground behind her.
It was all too obvious of what she was. Arms crossed she simply watched those who entered the school. Studying each and every one to see who they were. The friends, the loners, the weak, the strong, the smart, the idiotic. Each and every single one being categorized and filed away for later before she finally began to make her way to the rooms. 
A card within her clawed hand opening the room that sent a wave of heat through every fibre of her body, wrapping her in a blanket of warmth that threatened and succeeded to pull her into the welcoming enclosure. It was warm colors, with a roaring fire tamed by it's place. The beds seeming to have hot coals beneath the covers while plush pillows laid about the floor. "Least it's not the bowls of hell or something...."

Taking off her bag she found a note addressed to her. Eyes of curiosity she opened the paper to see neat and rather elegant handwriting that she found herself respecting. 
[i]Dear Shira Kai, your family has already addressed the issue of you having little mastery of fire yet have excelled in combat. For this I had instructed that your room is in the flame quarters and that you must meditate for one hour under the embers every single day before your classes. [/i]

"Not wasting my time, I like it." She was no stranger to meditation, her father being so attuned to aura caused her to join in from time to time as a child, it was a relaxing moment. One where worries and burdens had abandoned her. Taking her spot she sat cross legged, her tail feathers ruffling a bit before she began to slowly inhale and exhale, a stream of warm breath escaping her that she tried not to think of. 
She trained under a blaziken for a time, and whenever he took a deep breath there was a small stream of fire...she had to learn how to do that, to have such control that she would be connected to fire no matter what. That was what she needed, and she was gonna get it right here.
Time passing her by, it was a while before she decided to look outside. Walking around the school grounds she began to notice that there were areas that could sustain every single need any pokemon out there had. She had to admit she was impressed with the place, the training room though, she could live there. "Might as well live here."

Staying under cover she continued to walk around, hands in her pockets, the sounds of rain and the cool patting of her feet becoming defining against the excited whispers around her.
