Xuilen Lum Chii
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Nation: Earth Kingdom
Bending: Yes, Earthbending
Appearance: To start off, her eyes are an emerald green, and her hair's a long brown color. She has some acne dotted across her face as most teenagers do. Her skin is a mild tan, probably the color of any other young earthbender who heads outside often. She also has no known scars. Xuilen is about 5' 3" tall and weighs around 107 pounds.
Her clothes are all different shades of green with gold colored trimming like most middle class Earth Kingdom citizens. Most of the time shewears her town clothes. For her feet, she wears simple brown leather sandals when in town. Sometimes on cold days she wears green socks under her socks that extend up to her knees. Under her dress is a dark green sleeveless shirt, but usually you only see it covering up the rest of her breasts that the dress normally wouldn't.
Her dress looks a lot like a robe, being mostly a light earthy green and gold. The edges of the dress with the head hole have the golden trimmings that go in to her dress. Also like a robe, she has golden colored trimmings that tie up to hold up the dress just below her breasts. The dress covers her shoulders and extends down right below her knees with folded edges to add more beauty in to the dress. On the front below the ties is the brown symbol of the Earth Kingdom.
When she enter's battle or goes out for training or adventure, she prepares her battle outfit. Her dress is tied up tighter for more protection. Underneath the dress she puts on a dark brown fire and water resistant metalic tunic, designed in a way to be both protective, light, and easy to maneuver in. She also wears heavily padded earthbending pants, with golden trim ends uniting the outer pants in with the legs just above the knees. Brown trimmed edges also divide the legs from the crotch. The rest of the pants are green. The pants' padding is made from compressed fabrics and sheets of fire resistant metal to provide extra protection.
Xuilen also wears fire resistant gloves with only finger holes. On the front of the gloves, the Earth Kingdom symbol is printed again in brown. The edges of the gloves extent up about halfway from the wrist to the elbow. On the edge of her gloves are small gold trimmings. In battle, Xuilen wears no feet gear to enhance her earthbending. The last item she wears is in her hair. She ties up some her hair on the right and left side of her head with light brown ribbons tied in the shape of bows. Some hair is left to flow while the rest is tied up. While some think she wears her hair up like this because it's fashionable to her, the real reason is to keep hair out of her face too much while not looking totally ugly and braiding it or tying it up in a ponytail.
Personality: Her hate of people came from her painful childhood of always being harassed. Xuilen is normally well behaved all around. Though some times she's thought of doing many not so appropriate acts, she quickly dismisses them knowing the consequences. The girl's quite ditzy and clumsy, always stumbling and tripping whether people are causing it or not. She is a nice person if you take the time to know her. Xuilen often doesn't know what's going on and is always asking questions, questions that usually are never answered anyway. Although she seems clumsy and stupid, she's a very smart person despite her ignorance of it. A life of harassment has toughened Xuilen, and when she's upset to much, she makes everyone around her feel her pain 10 times worse. In other words, don't aggrivate her.
History: Xuilen was born in a small village on the border of the Si Wong Desert in the foothills of some southern mountains. The Village of Kannshuong is a well known trading spot for the sandbenders in the desert to recieve supplies not found in the desert. Because of the frequent sight of sandbenders, Xuilen secretly picked up on sandbending at a young age. Unfortunately, sandbending wasn't a native skill of the village and there was little sand in the village. Because of this, nobody really knew about her power until later. The girl never showed any signs of bending, so it was assumed she couldn't bend.
Her parents were curious if she could bend, so her mom sent her to the local earthbending teacher. Xuilen's father was out fighting in the war at the time, and still is. At 4 years, Xuilen was sent to the teacher for a day, but being slower at mental development than normal, she could not understand the teacher so it was thought she could not bend. Almost every child in her village could earthbend. When her mom sent her to regular school 2 years later, she was left out in many games and activities since they required bending. Many of the kids thought she was messed up and stupid, so most of the kids avoided her. Even her teacher sent reports home that Xuilen was failing, and eventually she did fail.
Xuilen would run home crying from school from all of the kids harassing her, and so she had to be home schooled. She soon rarely went outside. Infact, she soon became terrified of leaving her house because she didn't want to be harassed. The schooling still wasn't going well at all for Xuilen either. Due to all of the failure and harassment in her life and her assumed inability to bend, she decided to work out inside. When Xuilen turned 8, she had her first weights to work up from. Not much progress physically was shown until she was 10, then she slowly began to lift more.
She was 12 when things finally began to change for her. Although she was still harassed and even beaten up, her academic failure began reversing and her grades (or whatever you'd call them when home schooling) amazingly went up quite a bit. Xuilen in 4 years had worked up from 5 pound weights to 10 pounds, and then lifting 20 pounds. By then she was as strong as any boy in the village her age or younger. Still she couldn't bend so she was still outmatched by them. About 2 years later when she's 14, Xuilen had begun to lift an amazing 40 pounds.
One day, she was out enjoying the breeze outside when a rock hit her in the back of her head. When she turned to see who it was, another one was chucked at her, and although she dodged, it still hit her. The boy earthbended the rock. Absolutely furious, Xuilen stomped her foot, and all of a sudden a large rock shoots up out of the ground. Without noticing what just happened, she flung the rock at the boy and hit him right in the face. The foolish boy was terrified and in pain, so he began to cry and he ran away. Xuilen was hurt too, so she rubbed the rock pelted spot on her head and went back inside.
Later that day, Xuilen told and showed her mom that she can earthbend. A day later, the family got some letters in the mail. Xuilen and her mom got a letter from her father about the war and how he is missing in action. Eager to put her earthbending skills to the test, Xuilen wanted to travel to Omashu and learn earthbending from a real master earthbender. Her mother was worried about her husband, while Xuilen wanted to fight the Fire Nation. Xuilen's mother didn't want her to go, but she insisted and ran away to do so. The next day, her mother found out Xuilen was missing, and so she hired bounty hunters to bring her back. Xuilen's adventure is just beginning...
Most of this is a copy-paste of a character I made in an RP nobody joined so give me some time to fix it up, then I'll let you know when it's ready. Most of this info will change.
