CHARACTERISTICS

Personality: Lanette is always a force to be reckoned with. She is a curious and energetic individual, always delving into new areas, but often quickly becoming bored and moving on, leaving unfinished projects in her wake. Lanette is forthcoming and direct. She doesn't generally have hidden agendas or ulterior motives.

Lanette was always a child with confidence and the innate resources to deal with new ideas and situations. She is quite opinionated and is often territorial about possessions. She will tell it like it is according to her own inner truths, and will not feel bad about it later. She feels that she has the right to explore new territories unhindered, so getting her to follow the rules may be a challenge. Even when young, she was very competitive and couldn't stand it if she didn't come out on top. Lanette is very active, jumping into action whenever something interests her, but when asked to do uninteresting tasks like cleaning she will resort to procrastination and even lies to get out of doing this unappealing job.

She's extremely loyal to Aisho, due to their friendship as children. Whenever anybody gets too close to him or shows interest in him she becomes quite protective and/or jealous without realizing it. She looks up to him and will drop anything if he asks her to.

Brief History:
Lanette was born in Omashu, poor due to her Fire Nation status. She grew up being forced to hide her fire bending. When she was about four, a traveling circus came to Omashu and she met Aisho, her best friend. At one of the performances she snuck backstage, getting lost and ended up terrified. He found her and they played together and she was so fascinated by the performers that she decided on becoming one. Once they left Omashu, she was heartbroken and focused solely on her firebending.

Two years later, the same circus returned to Omashu. Lanette spent her time avoiding it at first, until it came to the last performance. The day of which, she found Aisho in the market and followed him, gathering her stuff on the way. When the last show ended, she stowed away with them, without anybody knowing. He found her and they've been inseparable friends ever since.
