Character Name: Acai

Age: just turned 13

Bender Type: Fire

Appearance:

Personality: Acai is a girl who, even though she is kind hearted, has very severe anger issuses. She is easily annoyed and will not back down from a fight. She argues a lot and almost always wins. She is fierce but kind to people she knows. She is a bit sarcastic and has an attitude. She is intelligent but makes decicions too quickly.

History: Acai was born on a cold windy day in a small hut in the Fire Nation. She had an adopted older brother called Li. He looked like an average 5 year old Water Tribe boy, with average length black hair, average blue eyes, average height and average weight. On the inside however ,he was far from average. He was extremely smart and understood things quicker than most adults. He played lots of different instruments. Even though they were very different, the two were inseperable.

A few weeks after her fourth birthday, Acai's little sister Kaya was born. At that point, Acai almost gave up hope of being a bender, not only because both of her parents were non-benders, but also because all of her friends had started bending. To make it seem less embarassing she asked her best friend, who already knew how to bend, to help her and make it seem like she was bending. What she didn't know was that it wasn't her friend, but she was doing it herself, overpowering what her friend did.

On her sixth birthday, the house caught fire. Once she smelled the smoke, she ran over to her brother who then gave her the sword she still has now for protection if they wouldn't see eachother again. They said their goodbyes as he jumped out of the window and sprinted off. She didn't see him again for 3 years. She raced over to her sister who she picked up. When she wanted to leave the room, the door was blocked with fire.

She heard her parents screams of agony and started crying in fear of death, but she thought if would be better for her to run through the fire to the door than die without trying to live. As she ran, the fire parted to make a safe path. She found the nearest orphanage and they stayed there for 3 years.

After a while a woman from the Earth Kingdom called Yi came to the orphanage hoping to adopt a child to keep her son company. When she first met Acai, she knew she wanted to adopt her. When Yi asked, Acai said she wouldn't go unless Kaya came too. The two were adopted and lived in the Earth Kingdom. When they saw their new brother, Acai recognized him immediatly and embraced him, but then slapped him for leaving them.

They found out that Kaya was a Firebender and she joined their homeschooling sessions. In their sessions they would do normal school lessons and bending practices to which they would invite multiple friends to. After their "school" finished, they would do different activites like archery, martial arts and fencing. Although they did these, they never became  masters, they just did it for fun.

After a year of the sessions they went to a school nearby. On the first day in the new school, the boys would come up to her and tease her. She continued walking until one of the boys tripped her. She fell flat on her face and felt rage building up in her. She tried to surpress her rage but it only slowed down. The boy then said:"Cry, little baby girl, whatcha gonna do about it?" She couldn't control herself anymore. She saw red, felt tears running down her face and shot fire at the smirking boy who stumbled back and landed on the floor bawling. She cowered in fear of what she had done and was sent to the principals office. The principal then sent her home and found someone who could help with her anger issues. After a while, they lessened and lessened but never ceased to exist.

On her 13th birthday, for a present she was told by her mother she could go to Republic City to live with her brother who had moved there just over a year before. Not only because of that, it was also because she wanted to experience something new.
