<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Appearance: Aki is known for having pink hair, though her natural hair colour is blonde. She also has blue eyes and is quite thin, while her height is fairly average. She has a crescent-shaped scar across her left shoulder blade. Her peers have often described her as ‘cute’.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

Her happiness is only marred by the occasional memory of the event that drove her to move from her hometown, often causing spiels of depression that last up to several days when she dwells on it.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

However, when meeting someone new, she takes a while to come out of her shell, often appearing quiet, withdrawn and somewhat aloof.

In her spare time she will usually sit down and read some novel, owning quite a few of them. Occasionally she will write a story of her own, with her own works of fiction often featuring dragons, spirits or simply her ideal life of living as a fire bender in a perfectly peaceful world.

She prefers talking and reasoning over violence although she will resort to her bending abilities in extreme circumstances.

As such, she attempted bending at a young age, finding that she could create a flame at age 5. She had a good childhood; her parents were sometimes strict but always fair, and have always been happy around each other. Aki recalls witnessing very few arguments between her parents, with no serious repercussions from those that did occur.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">While she was aware of the dark history of the fire nation and the isolation from other places that resulted from it, she didn’t think about it often, after all those events had taken place several generations ago. She had been told many times throughout her life that some people from other places held deep concerns as to the ideals and values of the fire nation, arising from fear that another war would break out. But on one fateful night just two weeks after her 18 <span style="font-size:8.799999999999999px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">th <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> birthday, she was given a reason to think about what her nation had done so long ago. A group of what Aki would call terrorists made their way to her village and set about burning, pillaging and other wise destroying everything in sight. The few residents of the tiny village were given no warning and were attempting to flee late at night. Many were injured including Aki herself, but thankfully most survived. By the time the authorities arrived, the attack was over.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">They carried a message of hate toward the fire nation, with Aki overhearing one of the men shouting about how her people were murderers. She guessed that these people had had members of their families slaughtered by the fire nation all those years ago; it was understandable but no one alive today was at fault. Four people died in the attack, with the attackers themselves retreating and leaving no clue as to who they were or where they came from. At some point during the attack, she was slashed across the shoulder, leaving a shallow but long crescent-shaped gash. Whether it was caused by a weapon or otherwise in all the confusion, she doesn’t know.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

A week later she proposed that they move to Republic City. While her parents decided against going, they made it clear that were not going to stop her. And so she made the decision to set out by herself, hoping to fit into Republic City with the knowledge that other fire benders like herself existed there peacefully amongst everyone else.
