Thanks for tuning in again, Gaians. This is Cindy Donovinh with Gaia 9 Action News here at the scene of yet another fantastic Avatar Arena championship. In today's segment, we'll be reviewing the latest Avatar Arena winners and their entries, and then returning to the studio for a quick chat with one of our most beloved shopkeepers. If you've got a moment, please join me for today's amazing Community Update. Let's dive right in!
Taking the Cosplay Avatar Arena by storm, the stunning
Squid Sister Marie won First Place with the inspired entry entitled: "
Splatoon - Marie!" Not to be outdone, the fabulously talented
Chinami Mizuki crushed the competition to score First Place in the esteemed Original Avatar Arena with the amazing and vibrant "
Rainbow Heaven!"
Two more creative competitors rose to the top and claimed victory: In the Cosplay Avatar Arena,
Peach Floats Into Battle stole center stage with the fabulously cute "
Mushroom Kingdom Princess!" The Original Avatar Arena cheered as the sensational Silverlight Symphony claimed yet another victory with the gorgeous and richly detailed entry entitled "
DW: The Fairy Queen."
Congratulations to all of our astounding winners! If you happen to spot these talented folk around the forums, be sure to give them a quick commendation for their thrilling victory. To take a look at the winners of yesterday or yesteryear alike, check out the

And now for our special guest interview! You might recognize this lovely face as the mastermind behind the stylish and quirky shop:
Ruby's Rack! She's been around Gaia for as long as any of us, and she's seen her fair share of adventures and excitement. We've invited her to the studio for a quick chat about the latest happenings taking place. Please welcome
NPC Ruby!
Hello Ruby! It's so great to have you here with us today.
Thank you Cindy. It's surprising that I had the free time to stop by. With Peyo off at camp, I hardly know what to do with myself.
I'm sure our readers at home would love to hear a few juicy tidbits about the events taking place at Lake Kindred! Have you received any new postcards from little Peyo?
Well... I did and I didn't. I love my boy, really I do, but his handwriting hasn't improved very much in recent years. He takes after his father in that respect. I've received dozens of bleary pictures and adorable doodles of ducks though! Do your readers want to see those?
Er, well, perhaps...
Oh, I'm just kidding. Don't worry. I know that not everyone has the tolerance for ducks and duck-related media that Peyo and I do. It runs in the family, you know. Anyway, if you'd like to see more snippets and stories about what's going on at Lake Kindred, be sure to check out the Summer Scrapbook Art Contest currently taking place. There are some amazing entries being posted and more on the horizon!
Fantastic! Are there any hints or secrets you can share with us about the future of Lake Kindred?
Ah, well... From what I was able to understand from Peyo's last note, it seems like there may be some trouble fast approaching. I'm glad he's safe out there with all his little Kin friends, but I don't think my dear Peyo and Piyo will be coming home any time soon, even after Kanoko is found.
Speaking of our favorite duck, Piyo has been displaying some very strange characteristics lately. Were you aware that he could do such amazing things before now?
I had a feeling there was something special about Piyo, but I certainly never thought my little Peyo would be best friends with some sort of evolving battle monster, that's for sure! If only his skills included cooking and cleaning. Ahhh, that'd be the life, right?
Indeed! Well, any last words to share with all the Gaians out there?
Hm... Please remember to be safe while at camp. Write home often and be sure to make a lot of great friendships too. Once you've handled those things, stop by Ruby's Rack for some fantastic summer styles! Even in the face of some overwhelming hardships, my shop's doors are going to stay open proudly. Call it defiance, call it bravery, or call it opportunity to monopolize the fashion market... it hardly matters. See you soon!
With a farewell like that, who needs an outro? Wave goodbye to Ruby everyone. A fabulous lady with some great words of wisdom. (Not to mention her gorgeous hair-- how
does she do that?!) Be sure to check out the awesome
Lake Kindred if you haven't yet begun your adventure.
