Personality:

Rei is a cold, disinterested young lady who, if she can, avoids all human intimacy. Rei hates people as a whole, she loathes people as when they are in large groups greed, hate and evil are the key sentiments that people rally behind. It is because of this that Rei is so distant and cold to those around her, she behaves like the people around her are corrupting the air she breathes because she thinks that giving anyone a half-decent expectation will only disappoint her.

She does however have a few close people whom she would probably die for. These people are obviously her parents, her parents had always cared for her until they died in her early teens and she mourned them. Her parents deaths were what truly drove her to abandon all affection to other people. Rei often plays pranks and jokes on everyone as a way of driving them to anger and having them perpetuate her views on people.

Rei has few likes and little dislikes as well, she simply accepts life as it is and thinks ill of the people who live in it. Deep inside her though she in reality is merely waiting for someone who will care for her and for her to care for.

History:

Rei was born to a Wastelander father and a captured Earth Republic mother. After Rei’s birth her mother elected to stay and raise Rei, if only to spare her the horrors Wastelanders inflict on ‘Outsiders’. Rei was treated surprisingly well by her father, he never struck her or inflicted pain in order to teach, as was the usual Wastelander way of raising a child and her mother doted upon her a great deal, often allowing herself to be beaten in order to get things for Rei that would make her life easier.

When Rei was 6 she waterbent for the first time, her mother feared this and told her to hide her bending from her father and the other Wastelanders, as all waterbender not specifically suited to healing were forced into the raiding parties. Her mother encouraged her to train herself in secret, often acquiring various scrolls on the craft for Rei’s use.

During Rei’s 13th year her mother was killed. She was beaten to death by a drunken Wastelander who wanted some action and Rei’s mother denied him. The death of her mother weighed heavily on Rei, she revealed to her father that she was a waterbender and was drafted into the raiding party her father was the head of. As she grew in experience she was placed more into the fore of the raids, she claimed her first life when she was 14 and it tempered her will into something cold and black. Her father passed away the year after, a fever took him. Medicine in the Wastes was always something to be neglected rather than favoured.

Rei’s life in the Wastes was over, her parents dead and all that remained was the husk of a girl and the promise of an early death. Travelling to Republic City gave Rei hope of a future where she would live past 30 and where she would not be forced into bearing the children of the next Wastelander to assume a position of power. Republic City is where Rei decided to flee to as it holds a future less bleak than that of home…
