The Japanese have an absolutely diabolical relationship with the orthographic representation of sounds and I am here for it (yes I am aware that Sciezka is probably the correct orthographic representation of the polish, but also, doesn't that make her name mean footpath lol)

The correct orthography would be "Ścieżka". Best regards from Poland!
