Kumari

Personality
Kumari is a shy girl. She likes peace, quiet, and nature. She is rather distant from people, but, does like to socialize sometimes. However, Kumari is afraid to Earthbend. She's scared that she will mess it up, and, cause unnecessary damage to Mother Earth, or, other people. She will only use said 'talent' when alone, or, when neccessary.

History
Kumari was born to two non-benders. The two non-benders had fallen in love years before Kumari was born, and, had realized that they had something in common. Both of their grandmas had been extraordinary earthbenders. However, their parents, and them, did not seem to have the Earth-Bending Talent. So, growing up, Kumari had been raised to see Bending as respectable, and, something to strive to be, but, she just saw it as scary.

A lil' while after her 5th birthday, she was sitting in a feild, quietly thinking. Little did she know, as she was deep in thought, and meditation, that, she was Earth-Bending, with no real knowledge that she was. However, her parents saw her. They were overjoyed that their only daughter was an Earthbender, and, tried to teach her. Kumari, however, didn't want to learn. She became scared, scared of disappointing her parents, and, scared of hurting people, or, the Earth.

Her parents, figuring out that their daughter was too scared to bend, but, still wanting her to become the best, sent her to Republic City a little while after her 15th birthday, to learn from the best, and, become the best.
