Although he tries desperately to control his mind and his nerves, sometimes, under great deals of stress and pressure, Ho Hon will snap and his calmness with melt away, revealing the depraved, violent, hate-filled inner self, that he's constantly battling internally to keep at bay. Once his inner self is exposed, it takes a great deal of struggle to contain it again, not without causing physical, mental, and spiritual pain to those around.

Brief History: Ho Hon was born to a small family of travelling merchants, being the 2nd child of his mother and father, with an older sister. Unfortunately during a robbery on the road, he managed to crawl away from the scene and escape. This would be the last time he saw his parents, even though he would not remember as he was not even a year old. He was picked up by a monk by the river, and although the monk searched for Ho Hon's parents, after a few days he brought Ho Hon to the northern air temple, where he would spend the majority of his life being raised and trained by the monks. The years flew by, and he discovered his natural affinity for Air Bending, and he was train to be a fully fledged monk.

During his time at the temple, around the age of 13, Ho Hon realized the change in himself, where he became very irritable, easily angered, quick to jump to violence. Through discussions and more training from the monks, Ho Hon learnt to repress his true aggressive nature and forced himself down the righteous path. At the age of 16, the monks informed him of his ability to leave the Temple, and make his own path in this world, however Ho Hon felt unprepared for the journey ahead of him, due to his innate doubtfulness and distrust of himself and his ability to control his inner demons. He stayed a few more years, honing his skills in both Air Bending and Meditation, while also learning new skills with his music and animals.

As a parting gift, for his journey ahead, the monks gave Ho Hon both a glider and a Zhongruan to take with him, so he may remember his training, and always have some things to calm him down if he requires it. Ho Hon left for Omashu, deciding he could assist the city in it's own struggle while he tried to resolve his own. On his journey, he fell deeply in love with nature and all it's offerings, and even acquiring his faithful companion Rutou to accompany him. Upon his arrival in Omashu, he found himself unaccustomed to dealing with a much larger amount of people, and spent the first year in and out of jobs, before finding a vacancy at a small, secluded pet shop, where he currently resides now, in his spare time making tea for passer-bys and entertaining them with music and wisdom.
