Name: Shio

Bender-type: Water

Age: 17

Appearance:

Shio is a tall woman with dirty blonde hair and usually wears her homeland robes. Her physique is shy of the natural average, making her out to be fairly skinny.

Personality: Shio's person is generally naive and presents a lack of caring for most things. She's very timid and will show no shyness when it comes to a fight. A troublemaker, yet she does not go so far as to get in trouble with the authorities. Her ego is only as big as her overrated confidence in her abilities to take on anyone that gets in her way.

Background: Being born to a middle class family in the Southern Water Tribe, Shio was pampered to her heart's content, always getting her way and never needing to learn important things for herself. By the time she had turned six, Shio developed her waterbending techniques after almost being killed by a wild Polarbear Dog in the frozen tundras. The experience after that completely changed her and made her more careful about trusting other creatures.

At the age of nine, Shio practiced her new abilities and worked hard to accomplish the basic understanding of what they meant. Her parents were away from home as they dealt with healing in several parts of the nation; Shio usually never saw them except for a couple days. By her tenth birthday, she became completely reliant on her abilities to help her survive while her parents were away.

Six years later, Shio received a message that her parents had passed away after both being found trapped under an avalanche. The news dragged Shio down into a deep state of depression for an entire year. At seventeen, Shio coped with the loss of her parents, but is still reminded of them and how, if she had known sooner, she could have saved them. The memory constantly haunts her and will sometimes cause a mental breakdown to occur at the worst possible times.

Shio's reasoning to come to Republic City were brought about her trying to escape the place where her parents had passed on. Though traumatized, she manages to maintain the majority of her own sanity on the trip to the city. She's now determined to escape her past by starting over.
