everything comes with a price

mY cabbaGeS!! (view spoiler)[



kairi // 22 // earth // kyoshi warrior
affable + the gossiper
outgoing
will talk about anything and everything except herself
insert something dark or deep?
naive? gullible? sensitive?
oPtOmiStiC and is immune to sarcasm or if going with the dark thing then she just pretends to be imunne~~
tree hugger
honest and well mannered
stands up for the little men
adventrous and will most definitely be a martyr
prefers the katana and war fan over bending



hiromi // 19 // fire
can see her as manipulating and conniving as the product of being suppressed by all the people in her life??? but then can also see this ironic fire girl that is actually compassionate deep down? maybe not though. i don't even know what position to have her as
definitely more reserved and aloof
keeps to herself- generally
intelligent
untamed lightning
abilities are overwhelming, turbulent
when angry she likes to be alone
very expressive which is at odds to her usual silence



ronin // 27 // fire // fire general
leads with an iron fist
thoughtful, serious, and commanding
no-nonsense attitude
don't want him angry
so don't lie to him. seriously, he prefers a fight over liars
he is either very crazy or deadly silent
proficient bending and is cultivating his style
is a canvas of scars
insert tragic backstory
is the type to infiltrate his own troops without warning just to see how attentive and prepared they are
when he does this ^^^ no mercy to the incompetent
darwinism is a thing and he is it
no room for the weak and compassionate
death incarnate
when moral waters get murky he plays by code
he writes and manipulates said code to his advantadge
don't cry



akamu // 24 // non-bender // southern water tribe chief's son
natural leader that works well under pressure but extremely dogmatic
resourceful, complaceent
skeptic, stubborn, sarcastic
trust issues but loyalty unwavering when you have it
family and tribe come first
harsher to benders low-key jealous
high-key an asshole to outsiders
will stare at them with a raised brow until the end of time if he could
can be respectful when he feels like it
fight fight fight
warriorrrr
"if you can do it i can do it better and look good at it too "
(view spoiler)[tribute to nayah
"you make me kiss her hand again i swear i'm gonna be sick" (hide spoiler)]



tadashi // 21 // earth // dai li
cute boy that has two left feet even though he is an earth bender
but somehow he fights? and kicks butt???
like legit can do cool stunts ty lee style
it's a wonder how he is in the dai li with his personality
timid? reserved? apologises for hitting a tree branch?
hopeless romantic
creative
talks too much when embarrased/nervous/happy/fighting
like shut up dude your opponent does not care about a rock you found when you tripped over a step



ryu // 23 // tbd // tbd (hide spoiler)]

compensatin for your feelings (view spoiler)[ and you know the feeling

NINA | 22 | southern water tribe
> a healer
> also a blood bender on the lowlow but she has never told a soul bc tht shit is DEMONIC & she absolutely hates that part of herself
> use to be quite the revolutionist before her mother died and she had to take care of her siblings
> now she’s just a party pooper
> tbh she’s just afraid of everything now: the state of her tribe, of the fire nation, of something happening to one of her siblings,of just...everything



TARIN | 16 | fire nation royal | non-bender
> the mai energy is astronomical
> "okaay...but what's in it for me?"
> too curious for her own good
> her short blades are her ~babies~ but she rarely ever gets to use them outside of training
> her loyalties to the fire nation stem less from pride and more from a sense of logistics
> there’s nothing and no one standing in the way of the fire nation’s victory so what’s the point of questioning it?
> still...it would be nice to actually see the other nations before lord sozin reduces them to ash


KAI | 20 | air nomad
> is convinced he’s the only air bender left
> plagued by constant nightmares of the fire nation invasion
> since the attack...he’s been a bit deviant from the air bender’s principles
> just rlly fcking angry & doesn’t know how to handle it bc tht feeling is foreign to him
> hiding in either earth kingdom or northern water tribe, not sure yet (hide spoiler)]
