Name: Aria Mai Jong

Age: 19

Species: Non-bender

Appearance: see here

Alignment: Neutral Good

Personality:

Aria is a very kind and caring person. All who know her think of her mostly as a mother figure. She has a big heart for animals and would like a pet of her own if she could ever afford one.

When it comes to her friends she’s always warm and caring like she is to strangers even though she scolds them once in awhile which they, her friends, often think of it as an annoyance. But truthfully, Aria scolds them for their actions at times is because she lost her parents and want her friends to know that they should still have somebody to tell them they support them.

History:

Aria Mai Jong was born from Mai and Inu Jong. Aria was raised in Hira’a, a poor city and it was also the hometown of Princess Ursa. Mai and Inu Jong were ecstatic when Mai got pregnant with Aria even though they could barely support themselves. But they had Aria anyway. Even though Inu and Mai were both benders, Inu being a firebender and Mai being a waterbender, Aria was born as a non bender but made it up by becoming a skilled dancer, allowing herself to be quick and flexible during battle and as well as learning chi-blocking in which it came in handy at times she got into sticky situations.

At age 3, she gained a younger brother named Liu. Her mother and father had him as an accident but nevertheless, her parents loved him just as much as they loved Aria. At age 10, Aria was a very mischievous girl and often stole from other adults. Sometimes she got caught, sometimes she didn’t but she didn’t do it enough to make herself a kleptomaniac as a 19 year old. Of course her mother scolded her and such to not do such things, leading Aria to break out of her mischevious self. During the next three years was a bit rough since Aria and Liu were now 13 and 11 and old enough to go to school. Money was hard to come by for the Jong family and everything seemed to be so expensive. So Aria quit school at an early age, but she was taught by her mother on the side, and started dancing on the street, something she soon became passionate about as she got older. The next two years, she helped her parents gain money and traveled to the big cities in the Fire Nation with her parent’s content. She even joined the circus during her travels to make some more money than before but quit after a year. She sent back money to her family by a messenger hawk and that is also how she managed to stay in touch with them.

However, those happy days were over once she turned 16. Her brother was only 14 now at the time. When Aria got back home after the long journey, she found out the Jong family was in big trouble because Mai and Inu were in a huge debt with a couple of loan sharks. They told her to take her and her brother out of Hira’a and to move to the Fire Nation Capital and leave them behind.They’d contact her by messenger hawk if they managed to stay alive. Reluctantly, Aria and Liu tok whatever valuable things they could and went off as her parents instructed. Unfortunately, a couple months have passed and both siblings did not hear from their parents. Assuming they were dead, they never went back to check how things were. Two years have passed now and Aria turned 18. During those two years she took on the role of being a mother for Liu, who was age 16, even though she knew she could never take the spot of her could be deceased mother. They have gotten really close, just traveling all over the Fire Nation themselves and Aria is protective of her younger brother, seeing that he maybe the only family member she’s got left. But one day, Aria and Liu were fighting, something they rarely did. It got out of hand and Liu, being a firebender, accidentally burnt her back, leaving a nasty scar. Frightened, Liu ran away from her. Since the Capital was big and both of them really didn’t know how to get to places, Aria assumed he got lost when he didn’t come back to their apartment. But as more and more days passed, she assumed that he died or he didn’t want to come back home. Now Aria is age 19 and dances on the street for money as her career. Though she has a happy life and made some friends along the way, her only wish is that her brother would be brave enough to come back to her alive.
