Name:[/u] Okami Iza
Age:[/u] 18
Gender:[/u] Female
Nation:[/u] Air
Bender?:[/u] Yes
Appearance: Okami's face is very plain, almost masculine. And while it did not bug her when she was younger as she grew older she got sick of people thinking she was a boy. So she grew her black hair out, down to her mid-back so no one would make the mistake again. She ties it in a low ponytail but leaves some out on either side of her face so her long hair still shows.
It doesn't help that she is built like a man with broad shoulders and large hands. She takes comfort that her hands and shoulders are smaller then her brother's and father's but she wishes she had turned out more elegant like her mother and sister. She stands at 5'9" adding to her unwanted appearance.
The one thing she does like about her appearance are her eyes. They are a very light gray; they almost appear white in a certain light. Okami finds that very cool. Her eyes show her feelings very well, which makes it easier for people to tell how she is feeling, since she rarely talks about her feelings.
She wears the normal clothes of an air bender in training. A yellow, tight shirt that ends at her elbows, and similar pants that end at her knees. A red sash connects the shirt and pants She has a small red poncho that ends at he abdomen. Brown, light shoes give her easy movement.
Personality:[/u] Okami is the youngest of six, four brothers and one sister. As the baby of the family she was often teased, and annoyed her siblings in return. Because of this Okami because sarcastic, brushing off seriousness.
Okami loves attention, and she will do various "stunts" to get it. Showing off, doing stupid things, telling jokes. Okami considers herself funny and can easily take a joke, unless it's about her being a boy, then she gets mad.
Recently Okami has been dealing with a great loss and tries to cover up her guilt and sorrow with jokes. But she has been spacing out and getting lost in her own thoughts.
History:[/u] Okami was born into bending, both her parents being teachers at the Northern Air Temple. Her father was a master bender, and while her mother could bend she was mostly in charge of Sky Bison raising. She and all her siblings were born at the temple. Okami started learning as soon as she showed signs of being a bender. She learned slowly but once she learned it she would be quite good at it.
Most of her other siblings were benders too but she held a deep bond with her older brother, Kei, almost a master bender. He was the only patient enough one of the siblings to deal with her slow learning. Her childhood was a generally happy one. When she was 14 she got her Sky Bison, Tomo.
Soon after she started traveling with Kei and some other Air benders. She went to all of the other nations, learning much about the other cultures and bending styles.
Tragedy struck when Okami was 17. While out on one of their many trips the group was attacked by bandits. They were able to ward away the bandits but not with out casualties. Two were dead, and most wounded. Of the dead was Kei. Okami was devastated and could barely function properly for weeks after. A year has passed and thoughts of her dearest brother haunt her. She's decided that she needs to see more of the world in hopes of getting over the death; it's what Kei would want.
