Brief History:
Baen Sihanouk was born to Bun-Rong Sihanouk{father} and Sopheary Sihanouk{mother} on a cold night in the dark winter. Through out her childhood, her father taught her in the ways of Dark bending. Bending shadows to her will and her advantage. She grew up as an only child, helping her mother in the kitchen and her father in his work. She learned the trade of sword fighting from a family friend who was a master.

All together she lived a good childhood. Since she was the only child, she lived both as a daughter and a son, taking on the responsibilities of the latter. But before the peace, when she was 8, Baen's mother died from an illness unknown to them. Bun-Rong packed up and took Baen and they moved. The two were on the move for 6 years, and during those six years, Bun-Rong taught Baen the art of Dark Bending. Once they had finally settled, Bun-Rong trained and trained and trained Baen until she could expand her knowledge to an almost master status. This was when she was 18.

At the age of 18, Baen's father was murdered in cold blood. They had been camping when bandits from an unknown nation came and attacked. Baen was severely hurt, and her father had died instantly. Taking what she had, which was the black obsidian Katana and the clothes on her back, Baen ran. She ran until she could no longer. Having to stop, rain pouring down like a monsoon, Baen blacked out in a forest somewhere near the Light Nation. When she woke, she was in a warm bed, clothing changed, her possession, the Katana, laying on the foot of the bed.

A woman and man, married, had found her and taken her in. From this day on, Baen was brought up in this home, and trained in Light Bending. This was only possible due to the emotional and physical trauma she had faced through her life. Now at age 26, Baen is now on her own. She works as a highly skilled mercenary for the highest bidder. Her alliances lie no where, but she has vowed to avenge her father's death, and her suffering. She is well enough in Light Bending, and looks to try and achieve master status in her Light Bending, having already achieved such a status in Dark Bending from her father's pushing her.
