CHARACTERISTICS

Personality: Avasia is a quiet young woman who can be quiet observant of her surroundings but tends to be too trusting. She would prefer to see the good in all people until they have proved to her a couple of times that they are not worth her trust. She is an optimist at heart and hates to see the suffering of others. She is a great listener and often helps others with their conflicts, inner and outer. She is by no means, an outsider nor a introvert but she is a woman of few words. Despite the many great qualities within her personality, there is much turmoil within her. Not only from the death of Maseia and the disappearance of her oldest brother. Avasia must know what happened to her parents and who they were exactly. She does not even know their names.

Personal Strengths: She can see the good qualities in even the worst of people which lends her the ability to also help those in conflict to find their way. She is very observant.

Brief History: Avasia does not know much about her past or her family. All that she knows was that despite the peace between the nations, her parents marriage was frowned upon. Her mother from the Light Nation and her father from the Fire Nation. Her mother was disowned from her family due to their belief in keeping marriage within their own nation. For a time when Avasia was only a few months old, they lived in the Fire Nation. Avasia's mother was killed, how or why is still unclear to her and whatever happened to her father is something else that she does not know. Avasia was spirited off to Ba Sing Se to live with, what was assumed a distant relative.

This distant relative was named Akino, a man that was lacking several abilities. Such us parenting skills and emotional response. Avasia's care was taken up my Akino's neighbour, a woman who already had four boys to raise. In the end Avasia came to know this woman, Maseia, as mother and Akino as the unresponsive neighbour that she just happened to live with. It did not take Avasia long to figure out that Maseia was not her mother and that Akino was the only living relative that she knew was alive. But there was a reason for Avasia to have been brought to Akino. Avasia began to exhibit bender abilities when she was five, Akino would be her master.

Avasia was schooled in Ba Sing Se and took on the family name of Kiyami from Maseia, who took her in after she turned of age to go to school. Akino was now only her master and was very hard on the young girl. Teaching her Light Bending, as was her ability. Though she never recieved any recognition from her Master, Avasia had four brothers who, despite finding their younger sister annoying, they protected her from everything. Her 'mother' Maseia dotted on her.

Avasia was a quiet girl but seemed to find friends where ever she went anyways. She was studious and always exceeded even when it came to bending. When she was about fourteen years of age, one of Avasia's brothers had gone to the Fire Nation to further his training there as a fire bender and was listed as missing only a year later. Causing Maseia deep grief, she became very sick. Avasia helped look after Maseia on top of her bending and school work, leaving her social life behind. She lost many friends and found that her efforts were in vain when Maseia died two years later. By then Akino had taught Avasia everything he could teach her and decided to leave for the Fire Nation in hopes to find Maseia's oldest son.

After Maseia's death, Avasia greived but found the only way to alieviate this grief was to leave Ba Sing Se to travel, her destination is unsure to her conscious mind but she would eventually find herself also in the Fire Nation Colonies.

[[OOC: I left her history incredibly wide open for future plots and and whatnot. Something that could be played with depending on other players and whatnot, I love plotting with others. ^.^]]
