“It was said that each Avatar was born in fitting times, to an era that needed them. Judging by its start, the era of Kyoshi would be marred by uncertainty, fear, and death, the only gifts she seemed capable of producing for the world.

She would fight her ill fortune, her bad stars, and protect those who might despise her to the very end of her days.”
― F.C. Yee, Avatar: The Rise of Kyoshi

“She wouldn’t allow herself to become a human scar, a compendium of personal loss. She had the obligation to be more than the sum of her grievances with the world.”
