She had been oddly talented in martial arts and firebending. Her main inspiration was the late Princess Azula. She didn’t have many friends growing up because they all thought she was crazy for admiring the fallen princess. Some of the adults had even feared her. This made her more reserved and grow up rather quickly. Sometimes she’d hear the adults in her village even say that they believed she was a reincarnation of the woman because of her odd passing close to the girl’s birth. This should of made her scared; but it always made her chest swell with pride.

Training to master the dual katana’s was difficult at some points, but if you ask her, Jia will always say it was simple. Just because her master was her adoptive father, did not mean he’d take her training lightly. Her parents were taken from her in a raid not too long ago. He made sure she was disciplined and well-toned to even master her Chaquan style of fighting. He insist that that were the style she learned because that was the exact style the great princess had mastered.

In the time she wasn’t training with her weapons, she was practicing her martial art and perfecting her firebending skill. To make sure she was up to par; she’s always challenge the local firebenders that were around her age to spar. But the battles were usually broken up by angry parents who claimed her to be a monster. And it didn’t help that she bored much resemblance to the woman they feared she’d become.

Jia would sit out in thunderstorms and meditate at the highest points she could find. Eventually training herself to bend lightning, she read scrolls on how the great General Iroh had learned to redirect lightning by studying the ways of a waterbender; she had asked her master to teach her Tai Chi. She learned to redirect the lightning and had done it once against a man who intruded and threatened to burn her village to the ground.

After her mentor had died she had been driven to go to extraordinary lengths to prevent a similar situation from happening to another child. She had made an oath to never kill anyone. No one who claimed to be a hero would take a life.
