When Shuyin first met Lenne, it was at an exclusive club in Zanarkand's most fashionable part of town. She was serious and soft-spoken and at first Shuyin thought she was faking it to stand out from all the wannabe singers. After all, how many pretty superstars hadn't let fame and fortune go to their heads and turn them into vacant, mindless attention-seekers?

It had taken a while for Shuyin to change his mind. He was only certain that Lenne wasn't a fake attention-seeker in disguise when she walked away from an actress who bitch-slapped her in front of a crowd of paparazzi. After that, he had to admire her.
