Tenshi

History
Tenshi was born to a firebending father and a airbending mother in the Fire Nation, although her mother died at childbirth and their father had disappeared since. She has an older brother named Tadashi, who was a non-bender. Tadashi is extremely protective of her. Tenshi doesn't really know who her parents were, but according to Tadashi, they were wonderful people. Tenshi grew up under the care of her brother and eventually uncle, who was also an air-bender.

Tenshi found out she was an air-bender at the age of 6, to the surprise of her older brother. Her uncle though wasn't, and mentioned he should give her to the nomads at Air Temple Island, but her brother was stubborn that time, and didn't want her to leave. She also behaved the same, to her uncle's exasperation. So they lived with him without any complaints. Tenshi was taught basic airbending by her uncle, while Tadashi was taught basic combat by him.

When Tenshi was 13, their uncle died of an illness, leaving the siblings to fend for themselves. So they found themselves moving and settling in the Earth Republic. It was tough, and it took a toll on Tadashi, who was really close with their uncle. He began isolating himself from everyone, including his sister. Tenshi was hurt by his reaction, and has even tried to coax him out of it. He yelled at her and pushed her away, much to her shock. The shock turned into anger as she left, she didn't even try to talk to him anymore.

A month afterwards she decided to go to Air Temple Island the continue her training, and she wasn't bothered if her brother didn't care. She was gone for a long time, finding the life at the Air Temples peaceful, and the monks would tell her stories of long ago. When she turned 17 she decided to return to the Earth Republic, to find her brother in a horrendous state. He was thin, his hair had grown long and he was showing signs of illness. Tenshi felt extremely guilty and horrified with herself. Had she stayed here, her brother wouldn't be like this. Unexpectedly, Tadashi did not blame her, he was just happy his sister was back.

They acted as if nothing happened, and Tenshi's priority was taking care of her brother. But unfortunately, the illness got worse, and Tadashi succumbed to it after two months of suffering. But before he died, he told a pale-faced Tenshi to take care of herself and not wound up like him in any sort of way. Tenshi, although devastated didn't show signs of crying, and instead carried on. She decided to moved to Republic City by herself, only wanting to forget the memory of her brother and the guilt. She has thought of returning to Air Temple Island, but she isn't sure yet.

Personality
In a polite way to put it, Tenshi is just sad. The death of her brother still stings, but she tries not to remember, as well as any memory from the past. She's quite stoic, but knows how to control her emotions and temper. While training in Air Temple Island she stuck to her own oaths and order, but had good intentions.

Tenshi isn't bothered by war and bloodshed, but that doesn't mean she would recommend it, unless it was for self-defense. She sees no sense in the offensive, finding the reasons behind it petty and immature.
