Name: Luli Xue

Bender type: Earth

Age: 19

Alignment: Lawful Neutral



Appearance: look right!

Personality: Luli is a gentle person, but recent events make her want to focus more on herself. She has natural affinity for quieter activities. She is a calm and collected person, but she struggles when interacting with other people. Still, there is an aura of gloominess surrounding her. The first 19 years of her life were meaningless to her.

The earthbender has a liking towards learning, especially since her schooling trained her in very little except being a proper wife. She does not like to be taken advantage of and finds it hard to forgive manipulators. She does not find it easy to trust men considering one abandoned her.

Luli has a natural grace and poise to her, and her schooling added to it. The noble woman is actively trying to drop this to act more natural, so she ends up somewhere between commoner and nobility. Her structured life made her a rather organized person, but she working on becoming more adventurous. Her more carefree personality shows up around people she is more comfortable with.

History: The Xue family was a high-class and traditional type of family living in the Earth Republic. Everything was arranged, including marriage. The marriage of Guozhi and Chun Xue was an arranged, and the couple had three children. The youngest, Luli, was the only girl and fated from the beginning to be married off for business purposes.

Luli lived a very structured childhood. She learned everything there was to know about being a proper wife. The girl grew with beauty as she did grace, so her parents set her up in traditional dance. Even at a young age, Luli was flaunted to other families as a potential bride for when she grew older. The girl discovered her earthbending at the age of 8, but she was never trained in it. Her parents’ priorities were in other places. The girl lived this sheltered and structured life well into her teen years. The earthbender resented this lifestyle and was close to running away very many times.

At the age of 16, Luli completed her training in acting like a noble woman. One year later, her parents were looking to make her a bride. She was introduced the Cheon family’s Kyung-Min. Her parents had her all dressed up and ready to meet her arranged partner. Luli was upset about her life being decided for her but reluctantly prepared diligently for her first meeting with the man. The boy was her age, and he was clearly uninterested in her. Being her first true interaction with someone without her parents’ constant interference, Luli started to fall for the boy’s charm. Though she grew with a great amount of schooling, her social skills were still similar to that of a young girl’s. The parents took this as a sign and set the two up for marriage.

Another year passed, and Luli would meet with her fiance often. Luli was practically head over heels, but she knew deep inside Kyung did not love her the way she loved him. A day before the wedding, Kyung met her in her room to tell her he was running away. The girl tried to convince him otherwise, but he had lined her tea with a sedative. She soon fell asleep, and Kyung escaped the Earth Republic. Needless to say, Luli was crushed. Kyung was her only friend. Her parents treated her like a disgrace, and the earthbender locked herself away in her room to sob her sorrows away.

Luli lived a year of shame in her own home. She frequently snuck out the house to train her bending in secret. Kyung’s escape had inspired her to leave the Earth Republic herself. Luli was tired of playing prisoner for her family. She had a plan which she set in motion on her 19th birthday. The noble girl stole a large sum of money from her family and fled to a ship headed for Republic City. Luli was prepared to live free of constraints and regulations.
