Name: Mingyu (Female Chinese name meaning “bright jade”)
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Nation: Earth Kingdom
Bender?: Yes; Earth.
Appearance: Mingyu has striking emerald eyes that tilt upward daintily, and they are considered her best feature. However, her dark brown hair is short, croppy, and flimsy, so her mother, a wig-maker, forces her to wear one. She is short, only 5’2, and has a thin frame. Her skin is of average color and texture, and a few acne-related blemishes brush her chin and left cheek.
Mingyu wears a simple, short-sleeved, olive-green Mandarin Jacket with dark green pants. She keeps her hair, or, in other words, wig kept back in two simple buns at the curve of her neck.
She dislikes most make-up; however, she wears rogue on her lips.
Personality: Mingyu is a generally nice person; however, she holds a grudge, and it’s very difficult for her to forgive people sometimes. She mopes around when she doesn’t get her way, and she’s pessimistic. However, she can be very compassionate and understanding.
Overall, she doesn’t really care what people think of her; however, she can be very aware and uncomfortable with her outward appearance.
At times, Mingyu likes to play the devil's advocate, just because she can. However, when things are serious, she straightens her face and supports her family.
History: Mingyu has lived a generally normal life in the lower ring. Her mother is a wig-maker, and owns a shop wear she sells and creates wigs for people. At the age of seven, Mingyu’s only older sister, Chuntao, died at the young age of 12. From what Mingyu has been told, her sibling was fetching supplies for her father, only to go down an alley and be robbed, raped, and murdered by a group of men. Because of this, Mingyu’s parents have limited her liberties.
At the age of six, she discovered that she could earthbend. Chuntao had been bragging about what she had received for her 11th birthday, and Mingyu, enraged, slapped her. Her mother had scolded and spanked her because of this and in a fit of rage against her parent, Mingyu’s gift was revealed to her.
At first, they didn’t much care to further explore her newfound talent, but then when her sister died, her parents quickly enrolled her in cheap earthbending classes, thinking it would help her defend herself.
At the age of ten, Mingyu’s father suffered a heart-attack and died, leaving her and her mother alone. After two years, her mother remarried a man named Donghai, who owns a small restaurant nearby their wig shop. After a few months of marriage, her mother conceived, and after nine months, gave birth to twin baby girls named Qiang, which means 'rose', and Zhilan, which means 'iris orchid'. Unfortunately, Zhilan died shortly after birth.
For Mingyu's 13th birthday, she received a rare and special gift: a pad of paper and paints. This was her newfound talent passion, and ever since, she has used it almost daily.
Shortly after Mingyu's birthday, her mother conceived once again, and nine months later, a little boy named Jinhai entered the world.
Mingyu’s talent and passion for earth-bending is fairly mediocre. She spends most of her time taking care of her two-year-old sister and new baby brother, helping her mother in the wig shop, or helping her new father in the restaurant by waiting tables.
She likes running and painting, thunderstorms in the middle of the night, and spring.
