[Is it safe to say by now that the heroes here are used to the introductions by new arrivals? And while this one doesn't promise to be especially weird, the camera takes a moment to adjust on the subject — just a moment of suspense before you can see a beautiful woman sitting on the screen.]
[Some of you might recognize her face, which is going to make the responses interesting, to say the least. But as far as she knows, the vast majority of you are complete strangers.]
[Also, she looks a lot like an elf out of someone's fantasy novel, an image that's only reinforced when she starts speaking in a lofty British accent.]
Hello! I'm actually very excited to be meeting all of you — I didn't expect that I would have an opportunity to visit Earth, nevermind under these circumstances. I'm Allura, originally from the planet Altea. I would be surprised if many of you are familiar with it, but it's not entirely unlike Earth. The similarities are refreshing.
... and some of the differences! I've heard that water falls from the sky here, rather than stone showers? I've also heard a lot about cookies and tacos, and video games, and... well, suffice it to say, from what the other paladins have told me? This world sounds delightful.
[She gives a beaming smile at the prospect of being a space tourist. It's sickeningly sweet. But enough with the pleasantries, let's get down to business.]
Now, I've been given the assignment to start helping others with conflict mediation. And while I'll gladly lend my aid to the larger conflicts, it sounds as though many others here have those situations in hand. So, I would like to start by turning my attention to the little conflicts. The rifts that may be straining your friendships, or families, or teams.
Please, feel free to send me a message if you'd like to talk to someone about your problems. Any problems.

[... it's a shapeshifting joke, but she's not about to go sharing that information just to support her comedy career.]
Then again, I'm sure my situation isn't the most normal, either. How do they usually react?
no subject
Some freak out. Some don't believe it's actually happening and decide it's a dream of hallucination. And a lot of people realize it isn't, but all they think about is how to get home or what they're missing back where they came from. [She can relate a little to all three.] Plenty are calm, too, but not that many really embrace being here.
no subject
It sounds like quite a few of those reactions could be related to not being able to leave home behind. That's...
Well, it's easier for me. I've had more time than most to accept that I won't be seeing my home again. At least, nothing like it was. It's made it easier to keep looking forward.

[There's more to her story, obviously. But as much of a reporter as Elena is, she knows when to pry and when not to pry—and she can show some tact just after meeting someone.]
For what it's worth, a lot of people here know something about that. It's not so hard to look forward here.
