History
Prior to Avatar Korra's arrival in Republic City, the Fire Nation councilwoman was elected to the United Republic Council along with Tenzin, Tarrlok, and two other Council members; she had also married her husband before Korra came to the city.

During the meeting at City Hall where Tarrlok suggested creating a task force to deal with Amon, the councilwoman stated that she was inclined to agree, should someone step up and lead the task force. Tarrlok then volunteered to lead the task force, so she and all other council members, excluding Tenzin, voted for the creation of the force.

After Amon made a threat on the Pro-bending Arena, the Council decided to cancel the tournament finals. After some persuasion by Chief Lin Beifong, however, the councilwoman, along with all of the other Council members besides Tenzin, voted in favor of keeping the arena open.

After Lin Beifong's resignation as Chief of Police, Saikhan was appointed the new Chief. The Fire Nation councilwoman, along with all of the other members of the Council, was present at Saikhan's induction ceremony. Later on, when Tarrlok proposed the idea that a law be created that set a curfew for non-benders and made it illegal for anyone to join the Equalists, the Fire Nation councilwoman voted in favor of the idea.

The Fire Nation councilwoman was present at City Hall on the day after Tarrlok and Korra's battle. Upon the arrival of Tenzin, Lin, and Team Avatar, the council page revealed that Tarrlok was a bloodbender, and that he had kidnapped Avatar Korra. The Northern Water Tribe representative, exposed as a criminal and outnumbered, then began to bloodbend the entire group, including the councilwoman, until they were rendered incapacitated.

Immediately before the Equalists' battle for Republic City began, the Fire Nation councilwoman was in her home preparing to leave for a Council meeting. As she was getting ready, she heard a knock at the door, which she promptly answered. However, she was confronted by a man falsely claiming to be a spider rat exterminator, before being promptly attacked and abducted.
