Basic Information Bender type: Nonbender Title: Alignment: Lawful Neutral Current age: 28 General Status: Alive and well Sexuality: Heterosexual Relationship Status: Single OOC Plans: None yet
Appearance She's a 5'7' individual with long dark blue hair and green eyes. She is most often seen wearing her engineer outfit, and her grandmother's necklace, which she rarely takes off.
Personality Natsuko is a hard-working individual, with a strong sense of honour and pride. Although in casual situations outgoing, and on occassion even assertive, she can also be very stubborn when she believes she's not getting the respect she deserves. Being the older sister to a stuttering boy (Kaio's char) she sometimes defended him when she saw him being bullied for his stutter.
History She was born and raised in the Fire Nation capital, in the home of a affluent family which allowed her to fully achieve her potential. During her early childhood, she was very spoiled and selfish, primarily due to being the only child, however, everything changed, when her younger brother was born. Although the age difference of 6 years usually made it hard for the two siblings to communicate, they did get along more or less and Natsuko would sometimes take care of her brother, mostly when their parents didn't have the time to do so. A pivotal moment in their relationship was when Rou experienced an accident which caused him to develop a stutter. This often led to her having to defend him when he was bullied, a feat that she didn't like doing, however felt like she had to do. As they grew older, she stopped doing it so soon, especially while she was in the Royal Fire Academy For Girls, which meant that she was secluded from her brother for a few years. When her brother turned 18, the two of them had decided to apply to the Citizenship Project and go live in Republic City. After a few long discussions with their parents, they gained their blessing. And so, for the last few years, Ruo and Natsuko have been living in Republic City, with Natsuko working as an engineer in Cabbage Corps.
