Name: Riyoko

Bender-type: Air

Age: 21

Appearance:

Riyoko has short brown hair, medium physique, and a mild temper that can become hard to cope with. Her temper surfaces from her lack of interaction with other people during training, and has resulted in her being very antisocial.

Personality: Riyoko is a well-mannered, rounded individual who easily understands other people just by giving a quick glance. She's usually kind and caring, but will not hesitate to use her bending if need be for self-defense. During times of great stress, she'll usually become completely useless and rely on others to solve the problem. Quick to jump to conclusions, she'll usually assume the worst situation will happen well before anything actually happens.

Background: Growing up in the Northern Air Temple, Riyoko never knew of her abilities until she "accidentally" fell of the edge of one of the high-risen courtyards. She had closed her eyes as she fell toward the ground above. After some time of falling, she opened her eyes and saw the bottom approaching quickly. Once again, she closed her eyes and held our both hands to brace for the impact. Moments later she sent a small burst of air that completely stopped her from hitting the ground, saving her life. She was only seven at this time and, of course, she had no knowledge of what was happening.

Riyoko's parents, Quin and Yui, personally explained her abilities and, with the right amount of attention and training, she could do amazing things to help other people. The idea of helping others with her own fighting spirit ignited a fire in her little, seven-year-old, heart. She began training vigorously, never stopping for even a minute to rest.

Three years later, she had mastered her basic forms of maneuvers, moves, and coordination. Through her parents guidance, Riyoko managed to sustain herself in a personal bubble of self worth that would inevitably change her forever.

On Riyoko's sixteenth birthday, she received a custom glider given from her father to her. The glider had been passed down for six generations, and Riyoko took hold of the glider in honor of her family.

At the age of twenty-one Riyoko acquired the knowledge needed to fight effectively with her glider in combat. Under the instruction of her father, Riyoko learned the basics of the ancient fighting style: Kenpo. The ancient fighting style of quick, decisive strikes and counters to disable and render your opponent confused and vulnerable to attack. Her initial training now complete, Riyoko desires to venture to a place that she had heard about where people were in need of help. This place was known as Republic City.
