Forum:Chinatsu Akimoto

Character Name: Chinatsu Akimoto

Bender Type: Airbender (although originally thought of to be a firebender)

Age:19

Appearance:

Personality: A meek, shy and often skittish young girl Chinatsu spent the majority of her younger years being frowned upon by her father for being clumsy and doing things wrong, all the time. She became afraid to do anything by herself unless instructed step by step by someone and although she can't do things alone, she also can't do things while being watched, she finds it unnerving and often messes up whilst doing so.

Whilst her anxiety and shyness are a major part of her personality, and often times thought to be the most defining part of it, she shows to have a good grasp of knowledge, mostly being taught by her mother who also had a great assortment of knowledge before her unfortunate death as well as having a school education only rich people can afford.

She is quite paranoid about people, often not trusting them, even once they get close although once you do get her trust you can break it as easily as glass. She is often cautious around Firebenders, scared they could be sent by her father Takumi to kidnap her and take her back to him.

History: A long time ago there was an airbender, her name doesn't matter, all that is known is that she bore a non-bender child with a non-bender man and died that night of an infection. Years went by, the rebellion reached it's peak and generations and generations of the family went by, living a normal life, forgetting about their airbender ancestors until eventually they found themselves staring in awe of all the current benders unknowing to the fact their family once were them.

The family, now living in the Fire Nation, and abiding to their customs etc, consisted of three people. Nikaja, an elderly man of eight-three, his son, Katsu and Katsu's daughter, Akemi. One day when Akemi was out shopping for things she met a rich, respected soldier named Takumi Akimoto who was a firebender and one of the most skilled at his art (not THE most skilled but he was pretty good >.<) and they fell in love, got married and despite Takumi's perfectionism and OCD they had a happy life.

A few months after their marriage Akemi found out she was pregnant and everyone in both Takumi and Akemi's families were overjoyed. Eventually Chinatsu was born and everyone knew that even if she didn't follow her father's footsteps to becoming a great firebender she would still be one of the greatest non-bender prodigies in the whole of the Fire Nation.

Time passed and one night when Chinatsu was awake in her bed staring at the roof above her she accidentally started a fire by knocking over a candle and setting her bedsheets alight. She quickly jumped out of be however her leg was quite badly burnt and screamed for someone to help. Her father quickly came running in and although it was pretty obvious it was caused by accidentally knocking over a candle Takumi didn't take it as an answer and was convinced it was because his daughter had taken his genes as a firebender.

More time passed and Chinatsu began school, she was easily one of the smartest in her class but physically she was out preformed by a majority of her classmates and as most of her classmates and was often bullied because of it.

One night in the midst of summer Chinatsu was along in her room, the same one she burnt her leg in, and without knowing it she accidentally slammed a door, without touching it. She was scared, it'd never happened before but she decided to keep shut about it and decided not to tell anyone. She never tried to use these powers again as she was afraid of what she might do and if someone might notice

At the age of 10 she began firebending training, although it was quickly noticed that she wasn't that good at it. Well she couldn't do it at all. The master got annoyed eventually but kept on trying to teach her but it just never worked.

Eventually the master gave up and went straight to her father to complain that she was a fake and was definitely no Firebender. Her father got annoyed and was so angry he almost slapped the Master but was interrupted by a sudden blast of air that sent him backwards into the dust of the path. It was there, right behind the Master, that Chinatsu stood. Takumi was shocked and hastily got up and ran to yell at Akemi as the first thing he could think of was that she cheated on him.

So he confronted her and got annoyed as she kept denying it and although she did the outcome would've been the same either way and with one swipe of his hand he sent a fireball right at her burning her to a crisp.

No one ever questioned where Akemi went, especially as everytime she was brought up Takumi would change the subject or burn a tree or something. Takumi didn't have the heart to let go of Chinatsu because even though he was completely sure that Akemi cheated on him there was a part of him that knew she was his child despite the anomalous airbending skills.

Takumi continued raising Chinatsu as his own, letting her live with him, letting her continue going to school and even letting her visit an airbending master to hone her skills but there was never really a connection between the two.

Eventually when Chinatsu turned 18 she asked her father what actually happened to her mother, despite being scared of him, she had to know. Eventually, after an eleven minute silence between the two, he confessed, crying to himself about it until eventually looking at Chinatsu and begging for her forgiveness, now knowing by her eyes, oh her beautiful brown eyes, that she was definitely his child. She was appalled but said nothing and carried on as normal.

A few nights later Chinatsu was visited by Katsu her grandfather who'd heard about Takumi's murder of his daughter. Knowing that he couldn't very well confront Takumi about it without also being burnt to a crisp so he planned to be stealthy and run away with Chinatsu to Republic City.

She accepted the invitation and the two ran away quickly, getting on a ship and sailing to the city but halfway through the voyage, after a sudden heart attack Katsu died on the ship but not before telling Chinatsu to be careful and not to trust anyone.
