"Since you're in Sumeru, you must not miss Nilou's performances."

This is a fact that most people in Sumeru agree on.

There is no threshold for Nilou's dances, so everyone can come and enjoy a most fascinating and engrossing time there.

Nilou's audience comes from all walks of life. Be it a knowledgeable researcher or a mercenary who's seen true brutality — everyone is attracted here by Nilou's gorgeous, dancing form.

Every time Nilou takes the stage, a press of people crowds the Grand Bazaar until all are standing shoulder to shoulder.

Rational sense and wisdom are the mainstream in Sumeru, while art, which stands for sensibility, does not enjoy the same popularity and respect.

Yet if wisdom is meaning bestowed upon Sumeru by the goddess, then art stands for meaning that human beings seek for themselves.

Unlike other dancers across the continent who hail from artistic families, Nilou came from an ordinary family in Sumeru.

The life that the family of three once lived was no different from that of many who lived in downtown area.

The knowledge they gained from the Akasha was enough for their common day-to-day lives.

If there was anything special about Nilou's family, it was that Nilou's parents' loved and cared for her very much.

Although the pursuit of scholarship is prevalent in Sumeru, Nilou's parents never compared Nilou with other children, nor did they expect Nilou to become a researcher.

Growing up happily and living a stable life was all that they wanted for her.

Nilou thus grew up surrounded by love and respect.

Later, even when there were differences of opinion and occasional arguments between her parents, Nilou's thoughtful and considerate mediation would permit no harm or grudge to ever linger in their family.

Every inch of the Grand Bazaar has been measured by Nilou's footprints, and she keeps everyone at Grand Bazaar in her heart.

Nilou can introduce anyone in the Grand Bazaar in detail, as if they were a family member.

Mr. Jut usually gets up early to make tahchin, so if you want the privilege of having the most delicious bite of freshly cooked tahchin, be sure to get up early!

Mr. Afshin's storytelling skills are simply divine. His wonderful ingenuity always makes people want to buy his merchandise.

Mr. Hushang, who sells toys, has very dexterous hands. With them, he fashions the most fascinating little toys, and they are very popular amongst children.

And, of course, everyone has long regarded this smart red-haired girl as a family member too.

Every time Nilou goes grocery shopping, she always ends up carrying more items than on her purchase list just by making a single trip through the streets, and the weight of the groceries shows exactly how much people like and take care of Nilou.

Of course, Nilou also takes care of them in return.

Hushang and Farhad may have a quarrel over a bet, about as long as Nilou shows up, the two will surely be reconciled.

If Afshin's Sumpter Beasts have stolen someone else's food, Nilou will come forward and help make amends.

If you ask Nilou why she is so enthusiastic, she will answer with a smile:

"Because family is supposed to help each other, hehe."

For Nilou, her mom and dad are her small family, while everyone in the Grand Bazaar is her big family.
