Age: 18

Appearance: Yuuki is an thin young woman with a brown skin tone. She normally wears a fitted burgundy colored blazer over a green top. She wears navy colored bottoms with black colored boots.

Personality: Wanting Yuuki to not becoming anything like their past selves, Yuuki is somewhat the ideal child to her parents: A timid individual who doesn't really speak to others unless she's spoken to. Since friendships were something that came by so rarely, she can be very awkward and anxious around people who converse with her. She's a bookworm, and has her face buried in a book every minute. Yuuki is certain that she's very independent and intelligent since she learn to do a lot of things on her own while growing up. She's duty-driven, and will strive for her goals by whatever means, even if it takes years to achieve.

History: Yuuki is an only child and was born in the Earth Republic. Both of Yuuki’s parents are Water Tribe natives, and according to her father; they left the Water Tribe to adjust to a new life. Yuuki, just like her mother, was born a waterbender, and it wasn’t long before she began displaying her affinity to water. Growing up, Yuuki’s parents ignored the importance of Yuuki’s ability to bend since they believed the era they lived in lacked any signs of trouble. The older she got, the more she begged for a waterbending teacher. However, the more she begged, the more it made her parents put it on hold.

Her parents constant working and mediocre lifestyle made Yuuki a very socially awkward butterfly. It wasn’t easy for her to make friends and she often did things on her own. She constantly got bullied, and her parents were to busy to even realize her suffering. She found her love for literature and read books almost all the time. She always imagined what it would be like to be as wonderful of a bender like the many legendary female icons in her history books and even fairy tales.

The more she read, the broader her horizon’s got, and she began to see things more clearly. She realized a few fishy things about her parents. Her parents were normal employees with regular jobs, but she always noticed her parents having a knack for gambling and bargains. When she questioned them about it, they simply replied stating that old “habits die hard”. One late afternoon after shopping with her parents, she over heard her mother weeping about how some men found out of their existence. Yuuki was curious to know what had happened, and she was told to ignore it and go to sleep as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't too long after when she witnessed something she would never forget. By the age of fifteen, Yuuki was still an amateur at bending. She overheard an argument her mother was having with a stranger, and the argument broke out into a duel. Yuuki, for the first time, witnessed her mother’s first waterbending battle. The situation was discombobulating, but her mother’s prowess and finesse in waterbending amazed her more than anything. She begged for her mother to teach her waterbending, but her mother never gave her a definite answer.

The older she got, the worse things got for her and her parents; from random fights to nearly getting kidnapped. It wasn't too long until her farther started breaking out into fights as well, revealing his mastery in martial arts and weaponry. They constantly had to move, and It was frightening to be so oblivious to something that threatened her life. The more Yuuki demanded for answers, the more she was shunned away.

One late night, Yuuki snuck out of the house after getting into an argument with her parents. Naively, she ran into a boy, who lured her away from home. But when upon returning home, her home was burning to the ground. Her father, on both knees, sat in front of the house. He was relieved to see that Yuuki was still alive. When Yuuki asked about her mother, his only reply was a face full of tears and distraught.

That night, Yuuki’s life long question had finally been answered. Yuuki’s father revealed that both her and Yuuki’s mother were a pair of thieves and bounty hunters who fell in love. Love was never an option, and to escape their past, they moved to the Earth Republic to start a new life and family. That's when she learned that the boy who led her out the house was apart of the plot. Yuuki knew nothing could’ve been done, but she believed that things would’ve ended completely different if she just knew the truth.

She lived in fear that her father would be killed too, but it was evident that since her mother was out of the picture, there were no more threats. By the age of 17, Yuuki decided that it would be best to move to Republic City. She believed that her father was more than capable of defending himself and left, hoping to become an author and learn waterbending to fend for herself. However, she constantly wonders, if given the chance, would she avenge her mother's killer?
