Character Name: Kellyn

Bender Type: Water Bender

Age: 24

Appearance: Standing at 5'6", and being a mere 135 lbs, Kellyn is not a truly imposing figure. She makes up for it with body language and outfitting. She will dress not to just impress, but to intimidate people. Often, she will be wearing a black leather jacket over dark clothing.

She keeps her hair short so as to be functional, as it is harder for people to grab it that way. Her brown eyes gaze on people without mercy or malice. She often appears to be judging those she looks on, measuring whether they can be fully trusted or not.

Personality: There are people in the world that will bend the law, and there are people who will say that there are varying levels of right and wrong in the world. Then there's Kellyn. She is convinced of the rightness of the law in all things and will not vary from it. Those people who would do otherwise bother her in a deep way.

That is not to say she doesn't understand the motives of others, as she has been trained to understand emotional choices and the rationality of criminals; she is just deeply uncomfortable with it. She avoids social interactions as a result, excepting with a select few people that she knows will not be trying to break rules around her.

Those that consider themselves to be her friends will tell you that it's not about whether you are right or wrong with her, but rather it's whether you broke the rules or didn't.If she decides you didn't, there will be no forgiveness.

History: Recruit Kellyn’s drive to succeed is only surpassed by her willingness to protect the innocent. She has shown us consistent ability in her chosen field and a willingness to learn more. We believe this is understandable given her personal history, and we outline it here in brief in her personal records so as to ensure that there are no questions in her future employment. It is our hope that the reader of these records keep these events in mind during future assignments so as to avoid any conflict of interest.

    Student File #R312A

---- Kellyn’s family lived within the bounds of Republic City in her youth. Her mother, Nerra, was a homemaker. Her father, Salasen, was a member of internal affairs. You may find additional records of his field work filed under “The Freezer.” He was notorious for encasing fleeing suspects in Ice, a habit she has shown as well. While on Case #1972A, her father was killed in action. Note: Case #1972A was successfully closed within the month by his then partner, Haruka, who was then under investigation for accepting bribery from Syndicate members. See Case File #34X21F.

Public records indicate that13 years ago that her father filed registration in Kellyn’s name, listing her as a Water Bender. She would have been 12 years of age at the time. She claims that it was following this that her father started taking her to his office, giving her a chance to learn about his work against general policy. Prior to these unauthorized visits, Salasen appears to have made a game of solving fanciful crimes for Kellyn and her two younger siblings. (See Academy Student Files #R312B and #R312C for further details regarding these siblings.)

Following Inspector Salasen’s death, her family moved to Makupu Village in the northeast. There, she asserts that she privately studied United Republic law while building her strength with a focus on becoming a law enforcement officer. Official records state that she left her family to report to the Academy training grounds in Ba Sing SE approximately 2 years ago. She has been an exemplary student since, earning few honors, but many personal recommendations from staff.
