Personality: Cheng is a strong willed young man who tries his hardest to make life better for everyone arund him. He’s always ready to help even if he doesn’t know the risk involved and this often gets him into trouble. He loves animals.



History: Born in a remote village in the Earth Republic, Cheng was trained by his father to be an earthbender at a young age. The pair were very close for the first nine years of his life till his father died in an attack from vagabonds. Cheng was heartbroken and he spent the next year, much of the time, alone. In that time his sister was born and his sorrow was dampened somewhat as he helped to raise her. Life became easy again for him and he was able to smile. During the next year he trained even harder and took the notice of a man in the village by the name of Gumin, who told him of Republic City and the Rebellion. He never forgot the story and it became his dream to go there.



When he was 15 he started out on his quest to get to Republic City. He and two other boys from the village, Zao Dumi and Fung Yuf, left to see what was in the city. Within the first few day they became lost in the woods outside of the town until they met an old man who told them the way. After they found the road the journey was easy for them until they ran into some thieves disguised as circus performers. The trio were robbed and left with nothing except their bending. They traveled for a few days growing steadily hungrier and closer to death. Only the timely meeting of an Airbender named Hariti. Hariti was also going to the City and so he agreed to travel with them. Along their journey, Hariti taught the boys to use their bending to hunt and survive. Cheng was quite adept at it and could be found taking naps with animals he had formed a bond with from time to time.

Hariti taught him to have fun again and leave the hurts in the past. He told him that hurts make a person who they are but not to let those hurts last. Often it was hard but Cheng became a stronger person for it and he was soon the leader of the group. However their group was split apart due to a run in with vagabonds. Cheng was stuck with Zao: Hariti and Fung were together. In the escape however Zao was killed. Hariti and Fung were captured but Hariti told Cheng to leave them and fulfill his dream. Fung agreed to it so Cheng ran away and after a few weeks alone he found a ferry going to Republic City.
