Name: Miyabi Kasai

Type: Firebender

Age: 16

Appearance: Touko from Pokemon

Height: 5'5

Weight: 112 lbs

Personality: Miyabi, like her name, is seen as elegant and graceful; yet, it is merely an image. Away from the limelight, Miyabi is a outgoing, unique, and witty; howbeit, she, if given an unfavorable situation, can become coldly merciless and manipulative. Despite her fine appearance, this firebender prioritizes her welfare above all.

Parents: Hotaru & Natsuko Kasai

History: On a clear summer night, a baby girl was born to the governor Hotaru and merchant daughter Natsuko, two wealthy fire-benders. Upon seeing her exquisite blue eyes, the two parents decided to give their daughter a life of elegance, thus naming her "Miyabi." A name then decided the firebender's journey to fulfillment.

Although her parents were over-joyed to have her, Miyabi's grandfather was unpleased; he'd always spot a flaw to criticize the child. A first-born girl was already a shame for the family; things will be much worse she couldn't be a fire bender. A year after Miyabi's birth came another child, a son named Katsuho; his purpose was to please her grandfather.

Fortunately, at the age of five, the little girl was able to showcase her prowess. While playing in the manor garden, the heiress, out of fury, shot bright red flames out her palms and burned her potential kidnapper's torso; luckily, her guards heard the excruciating scream and was surprised to see it was the heiress' doing. In fact, this is when the family started to be proud of their little prodigy.

However, things went downhill for Miyabi once Katsuho couldn't fire-bend; actually, he couldn't bend anything (or that was what his parents thought). While Katsuho was given a normal extravagant life, Miyabi was suddenly pilled with training. She was schooled to dance with fire, fight with fire, and most of all, destroy with fire; Miyabi had her childhood suffocated in flames (not literally).

Being part of a high-class family of merchants, Miyabi was only told to "look pretty;" however, she was too ambitious to be a wallflower. Miyabi was tired of interacting with the rich hypocrites. Late at night (starting the age of nine), this firebender will wear a Kabuki mask and sneak out of her room into the night. She would visit an old fire sage's cottage in the forest and play Chinese chess; on some nights, he would teach her to play with blue fire.

The next years of Miyabi's life was expected. With excellent teachers, Miyabi performed traditional fire ceremonies, rituals, and theatrics to please her grandparents. Having the best beauty products money could afford, Miyabi became lovelier by the day to please her parents. If there was one thing considered significant by Miyabi, it was the death of her old friend; the old man left Miyabi with his grandson Ryuu, who was also a son of a restaurant owner; the two teenagers continued to enjoy late nights together but missed the cheery sage.

A few months ago, Ryuu invited Miyabi to temporary freedom; he proposed for the both of them to study in Republic City. Through much persuasion and little knowledge of their daughter's true reasons, it took weeks before Miyabi's parents agreed. Along with her pet Katsumi, this firebender then changed to middle-class clothes and rode a ship to Republic City to "study" (and master) firebending.
