Name: Kei Machiko
Age: 14
Nation: Fire
Bender?: yeah
Physical Appearance: She has long black hair that about reaches the middle of her back and almond-shaped gold eyes. Her face is oval-shaped sharp-featured and she has a medium-sized mouth and a regular-sized nose. She is about 5'8''. and weighs about 150 pounds(sp?). She wears her silky hair down, with a few wisps streaming into her face. Her ears are rather small, but she can hear very well.
Clothing/Armor: Her outfit is a red sleeveless dress that overlaps at the torso with a V-neck and has two large leather buckles at the waist. The skirt part splits at the thighs and comes to about 5 inches below her knee. Under all this are black leggings and strong but plain black boots. The only jewelry she wears is a flat red oval on a silver chain as a necklace.
Weapons: Her father gave her black-handled dagger for her twelfth birthday, and it means a lot to her. But a year later, her older brother gave her his sword, as he had been given a new one. The sword is actually a red katana with a yin yang symbol on the handle.
Personality: She has a very hot temper and doesn't trust anyone right away. She is also very strong-willed. Being very independent, she will go wherever she needs to without telling anyone. Sometimes her toughness can make her a bit arrogant. But she has a soft spot for children, animals, and of course boys. She prefers hanging out with boys more than girls, though, because all the girls she had ever met were snobby and liked clothes and hair better than fighting and hunting. Her angry, tough, and arrogant side comes from her father, while the small iota of gentleness comes from her mother.
Background: Kei was born into a rather rich family. Her father, Kane, worked for Ozai as a tax collector and often came home with enough money to sustain his family for months. Their mother, Hana, stayed at home to take care of her family. Kei has an older brother named Taro, who at age 6 learned he could firebend when he got really mad at 3-year-old Kei because she sat on his toy ship. Kei found she could firebend a year later when she was bored and curious and started to reach up and touch the stove while her mother's back was turned as she cooked dinner. To her surprise, the stove flared up before she touched it, making her burn her hands. It happened again when she was eight and watching Taro. Jealous, she angrily tried to form a fireball to throw in the lake and make steam, and she did! From that day, her brother taught her all he learned from Kane about firebending because he knew from an early age that girls could do anything boys could do. And besides that, he wanted a student, anyway. Their parents would never let a girl get a firebending lesson from a master. At least, Kane didn't.
When Kei and Taro were thirteen and sixteen, their mother died from food poisoning at a banquet. Kei and Taro didn't find out until their father came home and told them, without much feeling, that Hana was dead. The teenagers were devastated, but they dared not mourn in front of their strict father. Shortly after that, Kane was called on a mission for Ozai, and had to join a group of soldiers. He had no choice but to leave his kids behind with their aunt. It was Taro's idea to run away and follow them because he wanted so badly to learn how to be a soldier. Kei had gone along with him secretly, as she, too, wanted to be a warrior.
Sample RP: I hope he does not see me. The dark-haired firebender slipped past the trees and bushes of the woods as she watched her older brother secretly. He sat by his leaf-bed on the grass, exactly one mile away from Kane's army camp. I know he did not want me to come, but did he really expect to leave me in that villiage with no action? Her feet had trained themselves to stay quiet, so she was as silent as a spirit when she moved through the forest. Hoisting her pack farther up her shoulder, she waited until her brother had gone to sleep so she could sneak away to find Kane's camp. Only then did she tiptoe around Taro's little camp and toward her fathers. The men were still talking and laughing and getting drunk. These are the brave men that fight for our country?! she thought in disgust. They are mutinous idiots!
