personality: Mala is a dreamer, and very naive. She longs to become something more.

growing up as a non bender was hard on her, and she always wanted to fit in and to be accepted and loved. She never could hide her emotions, and was often called a drama queen, and every thing they said to her built up insisde her. She never could let go of a grudge.



When others called her selfish, she exploded. She didn't understand. she was trying to be kind, and nice, but whatever she did she was measured by what her siblings did. She was told frequently to "Try harder!" and to "Stop being a baby!" but she couldn't control herself.

One was named Kouta, who would be Mala’s grandfather. The family stayed in the Northern water tribe contentedly, the rebellion barely changing their peaceful lives. Until Kouta joined the Northern tribe’s army at 18 years old. At first nothing bad happened. When the southern water tribe was under attack by deranged followers of Avatar Kiryi, the northerners didn’t know what to do.

Kouta went too. Kouta met a woman there, Seijun, and fell in love with her, promising to take her back with him to the northern water tribe so she could be safe. She agreed, if she could take her family. He kept her in hiding to keep her safe from Kiryi’s reformers.

Kouta convinced the men to let him take Seijun’s family with them as refugees. When they reached the Northern Water tribe, Kouta planned to wed Seijun. After their wedding, they realized they couldn’t have kids. Heart broken, Seijun prayed to the spirits. When they were blessed with twins, Ata and Apio, they were overjoyed.

Their thoughts immediately went to marriage. They were poor, since Auda left her fortune in republic city. They wanted to marry her to a wealthy man, so they could gain more money. Ata married Akio, a poor man, against her parents wishes.

Akio joined the Northern Water Tribe’s army. They had 9 children. Akira, Botan, Genki, Fujin, Taru, Haruki, Aikemi, Akasumi, and non-bender Mala. Akio went to reclaim Ata’s grandmother’s wealth in republic city, but his ship was thrown off course and ransacked by Southerners on their way to Republic City. Akio was killed.

When she arrives safely she is amazed at the technology. When she arrives at her great Grandmother’s home, she is shocked to find it has been destroyed. not knowing what to do, she explores the ruins of the property, and finds a satchel of money and uses it to survive.
