[Kanaya has wrangled accommodations for herself and her "human co-orphaned brother". Second floor above the seamstress's shop, where she's secured valuable work. Sure, the dark middle eastern features they share in disguise are not exactly winning. But Kanaya at least is pale like diamonds and wears modest green period dresses and brings a glow into every room she enters in Black Rock and conveniently doesn't take her meals from her employer. Also, repeated mentions of being co-orphans.
So she's employed to earn her room and board, working for the seamstress, and it's her charming manners to the townspeople that come in which actually works the best to sway sympathies (as she certainly does not neglect any opportunity to make clear she is part of the mysterious Gerry supporter influx), not that she realizes this. She seems very happy at her work though she goes on until a good while after sundown and always schedules long breaks during the brightest part of the day. Hmmm. Why?]

[If you enter the desert anywhere between 10 and 2 AM you're almost guaranteed to get a good look at Kanaya in the baking sunlight and downright frolicking. Abandoned are her period dresses, replaced with colorful pastel numbers from home possessed of little to no sleeves at all. She is surrounded by her element out here, sometimes even becoming a blur as she loses herself in supernatural speed and decently simmering sunlight.]
C
[Once a day Kanaya has ordered herself to spend half an hour in the town square, around 5 or 6, making rhetorical arguments that fall fairly flat and go ignored from a young girl. She's just not good at this persuasion business, and always returns to her place of work in a huff.]
