Name:[/u] Fen Li (goes by Fen)
Age: [/u]23
Gender: Female
Nation: Earth
Bender?: [/u]No
Personality: [/u]Fen is a quiet, intuitive person and is very much an "earth child." She prefers solitude to large crowds of people, and loves being outside more than anything. As stated, she doesn't talk much, but prefers to observe. She has a few close friends that she opens up to. Fen is also very shy, especially around new people. She also smiles a lot.
She values human life very much, which is part of the reason she decided to learn the art of healing. Fen also believes that everyone is basically good at heart, and she thinks that no matter how evil one seems, they can still turn from their ways.
However she is a bit naive and tends to overly trust people, but if anyone should betray her trust she will become extremely angry about the fact and is very cold towards the person until they apologize-and even then she will have a hard time trusting them again.
Appearance: [/u]Fen is slightly shorter than average, and while she's far from chubby, she isn't very thin either. Fen's skin is lightly tanned, partly from genetics and partly from the sun. Her eyes are hazel and her dark brown hair comes to her shoulders. Fen's hair is usually in a bun at the nape of her neck, because she can't stand having her hair down when she's busy.
She usually wears a loose sage green dress (made of cotton) that comes to her knees, and tight light brown pants underneath, for her modesty. She also wears dark leather boots that come to mid-calf, and the sole of the shoe is flat. The billowy sleeves of her dress come to her elbows, and have a few small pockets sewn on the inside to hold any herbs she pick to use for her medicines. A strip of leather holds her hair in its bun.
Bio: [/u]Fen Li was born in a small Earth Kingdom town near Omashu. Her father was drafted into the the army to fight in the war, as was her older brother Qing. They were both captured by the Fire Nation, and both killed by disease when Fen was fourteen. Fen and her mother grieved terribly for them, and her mother was never quite the same again.
However, instead of letting their deaths fuel a thirst for revenge against the Fire Nation, Fen decided that learning how to heal those who were sick was a better way of honoring their spirits.
She begged the local doctor to apprentice her, and after several weeks he agreed. She eagerly began to learn all the ways one might cure illnesses or fix physical ailments.
Because she lived in a small town, the doctor only knew a little about medicines and herbal cures. Soon the doctor told her that he had taught her everything he knew. After much consideration and a tearful farewell to her mother, Fen left for the nearby city of Omashu to continue her apprenticeship there at the age of eighteen.
After about a month in Omashu, Fen convinced one of the Omashu doctors, an elderly woman named Tien, to let Fen apprentice with her. Fen lived with the kind old lady for six years, learning all about medicines and cures. However, Tien soon died of old age, and so Fen became the resident apothecary in Tien's place.
Life was well for a while, and Fen managed to have a steady income from many of the sick people in the neighborhood. She sent money back to her mother whenever possible. However, about a year or so after Tien's death, the Fire Nation invaded Omashu and soon renamed it New Ozai.
Fen tried as hard as possible to not attract the attention of the new government. Even though she knew they were her enemies, and had effectively killed her father and brother, she wasn't willing to risk her life to try and overthrow them. It was still hard to make a living though, with the ever increasing taxes, but Fen managed to get by. However the ever-increasing iron rule of the Fire Nation became too oppressive for her, and one night she managed to escape the city with just a small bundle of food, money, and some of her tools needed for her medicine. She is currently living a somewhat carefree life as a nomad and finds that she enjoys the freedom of traveling from town to town at her leisure.
