((I would like to apply for avatar...))
Name: Ainam
Gender: Female
Element(Or if you want to apply for Avatar): I wish to apply for avatar, but her main element would be water.
Personality: Ai, as she likes to be called, is more like an air bender than a water bender. She is calm and very disconnected from petty things, like arguments. However, she is far from perfect. Because she goes through life with a disconnected way of thinking, she tends to forget things that she has to do, getting herself in trouble. Unfortunately for her, she is also quite a clumsy girl. You would think that if she were really like an airbender, she would be more careful and not put her feet somewhere that would cause her to trip, but she does anyway, often finding herself flat out on the ground before even knowing how she got there.
There is a good side to Ai. She is kind and a good healer, someone you might want to have as a companion on an adventure. She sometimes, rarely, will became more attached to the physical realm and do something unexpected, like actually say something. She doesn't usually say something unless it is important and she has a terrible sense of humor. It's as if she Toph's inability to make up funny names, mixed with Katara's lack of humor. This doesn't mean she is always serious... well... it does, but in a different sense. She acts more.... indifferent about everything. This isn't to say that she doesn't care about anything; not by a long shot. In fact, she is one of the most loyal people you could meet; once she is friends with someone, she will never betray them.
History: Well, she was born in the Northern water tribe. She originally, when they took her to find the toys, to see if she was avatar, picked out the avatar's toys. Her favorite is a small pole with dangling orbs. It supposedly belonged to Avatar Aang. However, because there were more people that picked out those toys, they couldn't know for sure whether or not Ai was the avatar. As she grew it became more and more obvious, to her parents, that she was different from the other children; they weren't sure if this was a good thing.
When Ai was 10 years old, one of her friends drowned because she was out there alone with no one to supervise her. After this, Ai stayed in the house for many days. She didn't speak, she didn't cry, she didn't even seem to care about anything. This was when the disconnection started. Her parents got worried and took her to the wise woman. The wise woman, or healer, couldn't find anything wrong with her. As the moons went through their cycle and Ai didn't change, her parents grew increasingly worried that Ai was sick or unhealthy, so they sent her away to live with her Aunt and Uncle in republic city. For reasons unknown, her Aunt and Uncle sent her to live back with her parents. She was 14. Her parents had left the Southern Water Tribe, leaving her to live on her own. She got help, but for the most part, she has raised herself for the past 2 years.
Occupation: Fishing
Age: 16
Appearance: Standing at 5'10", Ai is one of the tallest people in the water tribe. She is very small in weight, though, and can easily be mistaken for a woman. She doesn't have very many curves, but she is beautiful in her own right. Her hair is long and black. It is always either loose or in the traditional water tribe braid. She has hazel eyes that often reflect the sunlight, causing them to look different colors sometimes; of course, staring into the sun is something she doesn't do that often. Her skin is very pale, due to living in the extreme cold of the Southern Water Tribe, and she looks frozen half- to-death every time you look at her.
As for clothing, she wears the simple water tribe garb; a blue tunic and leggings with a fur all around the edges. It is made with penguin-otter fat and, therefore, it is very warm. She also dons a pair of soft black gloves with only three finger holes, so they are really more of mittens. Her shoes are boots that hug her leg tightly so no frigid snow can get inside the place that keeps her body warm.
Other: Other than being a bender, she is very good with knives and spears.
