Character Name: Lee Chung

Bender Type: Fire

Age: 19

Appearance:

Lee is mildly skinny, with few parts of his body that have thickened muscles, and his overall appearance is simple. He usually wears concealing clothing due to his lack of trust in letting people see his face.

Personality: Lee is very shy, not talking to lots of people. He generally sticks to the sidelines and watches as things unfold. He won't intervene in something no matter how strongly he feels he should. He'll usually speak only when asked a question and he tries his hardest to avoid eye contact with too many people. He engages in few activities. Though he's shy, he tries his hardest to try to be more social, but he always chokes and silences himself.

History: Lee lived in a small village in the Fire Kingdom until he was sixteen. During his time, he grew very distant from his family, not feeling like he belonged. On his seventeenth birthday, his older sister, Sun Chung, moved away to Republic City to be with her husband. The move devastated Lee as he grew only close to her and no one else.

His family recalls the story that lee would wait at the front door everyday, for hours on end, hoping Sun would come home. This event stretched across nine months. He eventually gave up hope and returned to his endless seclusion.

Another month later, Lee received a letter from his sister about an offer to move to Republic City to visit. He immediately took up the opportunity. However, his financial crisis prevented him from going for another two years. In order to pay for the ticket, Lee performed "odd" jobs (some for the mafia) and some for local citizens. After collecting the money needed, Lee would rush to the docks. But, on his way, a mugger stopped him and stole his earnings. A powerful feeling of anger and revenge surged through him. A powerful burst of fire left his hand and stopped the mugger cold. Retrieving his money, Lee returned home again. The experience changed him indefinitely, making him less sociable than before.

The next day, Lee pushed past the event and once again made his way to the docks. He purchased his ticket and left for the next boat bound for Republic City. He is unaware of what will be in store for him in a new city, but getting there would be his greatest achievement by far.
