Ca Lien Thi
Age:
30
Gender:
Female
Group:
Rebellion
Nation:
Earth Kingdom
Bender?:
Yes, Earthbender
Physical Appearance:
Ca is a small woman, though by no means scrawny or thin. She is a short four foot ten inches and weighs a sturdy 148 lbs. She has a pleasant round face, her tanned skin spotted with freckles and framed by loose strands of dark curly hair. She has small features including a straight button nose and little plump lips that, more often than not, wear a wide, loving smile. Her hair is pulled up into a high bun, but its varying lengths and extreme curls keep it from staying all in one place. Her eyes have a small walnut shape and color to them, wide but short. She has a thick body, though it isn’t without its womanly curves. She as small round shoulders and pudgy arms; her hands are small with short chubby fingers that are calloused from farm work. She has a large chest that beginnings her almost snowman like figure. She has wide hips that move into her short pudgy legs to her small calloused feet.
Clothing/Armor:
Ca wears a simple Ao Dai robe with long Ao Ba Ba pants. The robe is her favorite, a slightly more decorated one then is normal and probably not practical for farm work, but it was a gift from her husband. The robe itself is a plain asparagus green with a few dark stains here and there. The neck is high, the cuffs falling to her finger tips, though their usually rolled up to her elbows to make work easier. The hem falls to her knees, but it splits up her legs, the split starting high on her large hips. The robe and the pants have a very straight cut to them, the chest area is a little tight due to her figure, but the gown shows little of her curves. The cuffs and hem have a dark, more myrtle colored accent and above that a roughly embroidered boarder of a variety of flowers and insects. Under this she wears loose russet colored Ao Ba Ba which is really just a simple pair of pants. They sit high on her hips so she doesn’t embarrass herself while working, with her side splits being so high up to increase leg movement she wouldn’t want to show off her stomach just because she moved the wrong way. She wears no shoes leaving her feet to suffer the elements.
Weapons:
Besides basic farming tools nothing that she could really use as a weapon and even with these tools she has no training in fighting so as weapons they would be fairly useless to her; in other words no, no weapons.
Though she does have her Earthbending and in a tight spot she could throw rocks around, but her bending has been toned more for farm work and not for fighting. Though in the past couple of years she and her husband have been doing a little more with fighting due to their occupation they have by no means begun to master the art.
Personality:
Ca is a very warm and loving person with a lot of hope. She greets the world with a positive attitude believing that you get what you give. Granted not everyone is so nice, but she is easily unaffected by them knowing they’ll get what they have coming to them in the end. She has come to the conclusion that you only have one life to live and there’s no point wasting it being grumpy and ill-tempered. She isn’t prone to getting mad; more often than not her anger is drained into disappointment. She feels that yelling and screaming get nothing done, but a calm and sincere approach to what has been done can help solve things without hurtful words being said.
If she really is upset she walks away, she prefers to be alone when she is upset so she doesn’t say or do something she will regret. More often than not she will only disappear for a short while before she comes back to calmly talk about the issue.
More than anything though she is a bubbly, motherly figure who wants nothing more than to see others happy and is even more pleased when she in some way helped bring them that happiness.
When it comes to fighting it is only as a necessity. When she feels her family is being threatened she will fight to protect them, but it isn't a rage filled fight, it is more panic filled. If her husband is fighting she fights beside him, him being cool and collected and Ca throwing what she can where she can.
Background:
Ca Lien Thi was born to Quy and Cong, two small time farmers living in the outer ring of Ba Sing Se. As a little girl Ca had always been outgoing and boisterous. Though not rich her family had enough to get by and she grew up with a strong moral standing. Her parents instilled a positive view on life and, working on the farm along side them, she learned that good things come from hard work and dedication. She didn’t have many friends not living in close proximity with other families, but she had three younger brothers and a younger sister and that was enough for her. As the eldest she grew into a motherly person often being responsible for helping her own mother when her siblings were young, as well as helping them with their chores as they got older.
Without the high expectations of “upstanding citizens” like the nobility and the working class that resided in the inner walls of Ba Sing Se Ca and her siblings were free to play rough and loud. With three younger brothers it was easy to get caught up in their wild nature and when they weren’t working they were off on adventures, which she lead as the oldest, playing in the mud and climbing trees. Nguyet, her little sister, was far more interested in keeping her appearance and doing “womanly work” around the house which lead to a great deal of loving teasing from Ca and the others.
At a young age Ca found her Earth bending while playing in the dirt, her parents weren't too surprised since her father was an Earth bender. He began to teach her the best way to use her Earth bending in relation to farming; punching little holes in the ground for planting seeds and turning the earth to keep the ground soft. Of course on outings with her brothers she found other creative ways to use it like making mud soldiers for her brothers to fight with and in time cleaning the three of them, plus herself, off before going into the house.
In turn passed these teachings on to her youngest who discovered he shared hers and their fathers ability. Though they still enjoyed playing with Pyun and Tou, Yuk and Ca became very close due to their shared ability, often hiding around the farm to ambush their other siblings with random acts of mudslinging.
The large family was more than happy in their little world. Ca loved her family deeply, but as she got older she began to wonder what life would be like when she had to leave them. As the oldest she was going to get married first, of course these thoughts didn’t even come to mind until she found out that Nguyet was fond of one of the boys from a nearby farm. Ca hadn’t thought of marriage much, but knowing that Nguyet would want to get married soon made her realize that she herself was going to have to leave her family.
She was beginning to dread it, silently worrying about how to even go about it, she was eighteen and she had never really taken an interest in boys, not that there were many boys her age in the surrounding farms. Most of the boys were older or younger, it wouldn’t do to marry a younger boy and many of the older men were already married. Her changed mood was obvious to everyone in her family, but mostly so to Yuk. Her occupied thoughts left little time for fun and games with her siblings and as somewhat of a ring leader to the boys they were a bit lost without her.
A solution to her problem soon arrived after her first trip into the city. Since she was little her father had gone into Ba Sing Se twice a month to sell what he could and it wasn’t until Ca was eighteen that she went with him. She had wanted quiet time and since her father wasn’t exactly a loud person she thought it would be the perfect way. The trip was a long one and she was right, she did have plenty of silence, but it didn’t help her through her dilemma. She seemed torn between freeing up the marriage line for her younger sister and leaving her family behind. As lost as the boys were now she couldn’t imagine who things would be if she had to move away.
In the lower ring of the city her father set up his cart and slowly helped anyone who came by while Ca wondered slowly down the muddy street. She wasn’t fond of the city, it was stuffy and dark, not like the open fields of her farm, but it was in this dreary place that she was nearly crushed by a load of fallen cabbages and where she met her husband.
Mui was a tall man, large in every way, and the biggest teddy bear. He had snatched her out of the way in the niche of time and you could say it was love at first sight. Sadly though, Mui didn’t live in the open fields of outer Ba Sing Se, but well beyond the wall between the great city and Tachi Dai. Over the course of two year Ca saw Mui only a handful of times when he and his own father went to the city, but every time she fell more in love with him and every time her heart broke a little when he left. It was in these years that she was now torn between her love for Mui and her love for her family. She did her best to keep this thought consuming battle off her mind and continued to be the big sister that Pyun, Tuo and Yuk had always known, but she knew it would only be a matter of time before she would have to leave them.
On her twentieth birthday Mui and his father arrived to celebrate the day with her, but as she found out he had come for another reason too. When the small celebration had calmed and a majority of the people had gone to bed Mui took Ca aside and asked for her hand in marriage, an arrangement he had made with her father on his prior visit. Ca said yes as she always knew she would and as her last remaining weeks with her family passed by she realized just how much she was going to miss them. Though her family seemed more than happy for her this only made Ca’s heart ache more, but when Mui came for her she smiled and hugged them all good bye and it was her fathers parting words that made her day a truly happy ope. As she hugged him he whispered, “See ya soon,” and knew he was right, as far away as they would be she would see them again, this wasn’t the end.
It was only months after Ca left her family farm to live with Mui and his family, which consisted of Mui, his father and mother, his younger brother, Zawu, and shortly after Ca’s arrival, his brothers wife , that Ca became pregnant with her first of many children. Mui and Ca made a point to visit her family every time they went to Ba Sing Se and on occasion they made special trips like the trips they made every time Ca was pregnant.
Though Mui’s family ran more of a ranch than a farm they didn’t object to Ca expanding on a more harvest related crop. She found that without the daily task that the plants required she missed her home more and in planting fields she felt more at home among her new family.
Shortly after Lon, Ca’s second son, was born the small family assisted some Earth Kingdom rebels hide from chasing Fire Nation soldiers. After this event, which trigged a need to help out in both Mui and Ca, they opened their home as a way station with the help of the rebels they had assisted that day. It had taken some time and discussion with the rebels to figure out the best way for them to assist since the two of them couldn’t just run off and fight, neither of them were battle trained and they had a family to think of. With hers and her husbands Earth bending they put together a cave of sorts under their house with a door that could only be opened with Earth bending, the best way to hide it from anyone especially Fire Nation. To their surprise they had several rebels who stopped by just to rest without fear of being caught and despite people coming and going their life went on normally.
Ca and La-Ming, Zawu’s wife, along with Mui’s mother and as Mui’s father got older, making it hard to work in the fields, all took care of their little ones, La-Ming and Grandma Lu being far more responsible spent much of the time with the children in their youngest years while Ca, Mui and Zawu enjoyed teaching the children as they got older.
Mui fashioned a leather baskets of sorts for both Ca and La-Ming, the basket could worn on their backs, it would hold the baby safe while freeing their hands to work and take care of the others. As the years passed Ca had six more children and La-Ming had two for a grand total of eight.
Having been raised with a wild streak Ca loved to rough house with her boys as they got older, much like a big dog. Though knew which children were hers and which wer La-Mings she didn’t differentiate between them, treating them all with the love and adoration of a mother. Ca has a soft heart and all the children’s discipline comes from La-Ming and Grandma Lu. She loves working alongside her children as they get older, making harvesting and tending the crops more of a game then actual work much like her father did for her and what she did for her brothers.
Now, at age thirty, six years after they started their way station, Ca and Mui tend the farm daily with the help of their children; Ku (8yrs), Lon(6), Yuk, named after her favorite little brother(4), Bu(4), Riwu(3), and Zazen(1), on her side and Zaza (7) and Mish (4) from La-Ming, all of them boys and with another on the way, Ca is hoping it’s a little girl for La-Mings sake. Her sister-in-law has proven to have difficulty giving birth, but has on many occasions expressed her wishes to have a little girl to take care of and having all the little boys she could ever want Ca would be more than happy to make La-Ming’s wish come true.
Sample RP:
Ca walked through the rows of berry bushes, a basket held to her hip, Riwu picking beside her and the two of them with red stains from the sweet berries on their tongues which they stuck out to compare occasionally. The sun was setting, still bright, though stretching out the shadows across the fields. In other areas of the field Ca knew that Mui and her older sons were bringing in the zebra cows for the night and that Grandma Lu, her mother-in-law, was playing with little Zazen and the twins inside as she finished cooking dinner.
“You ready to have Yum-yums?” Ca asked her little boy, he was going on three years old, but Ca talked to everyone like that, she had a high chirpy voice that just didn’t want to use the simple word dinner.
The little boy nodded his head happily, and held out his hand which Ca took, the two of them walking back to the large farm house together. Once inside Ca saw that her other boys must still be working with the cows since they were nowhere to be seen. Grandpa was sitting at the table with Zazen on his knee, the baby playing with some crudely carved building blocks and Grandma was stirring a pot of soup over a small fire. Yu and Buk, Ca had a hard time telling which twin was which, were playing in the corner, jumping about and chasing on another.
“Baba,” Riwu squealed and ran to his grandpa who lifted him up onto his other knee with a big wrinkly grin on his old face.
“Can I help?” Ca set the basket of berries on the shelf, out of reach for her children and nearly out of her own reach.
“You want to set up the table, dear?” Grandma smiled and Ca happily did what she was asked, pulling ten wood carved bowls from a cupboard and setting them around the long, low table with spoons.
In a rush of mud and sweat Lon, Ku, and Mui all came through the door, the last of their chores done for the night, but they didn’t get very far in the house when a wrinkly, but strong finger pointed back towards the door.
“Clean off,” Grandma Lu said in a firm voice and the three boys sulked back outside to clean off as the old woman had said.
Once all the dirt was outside where it belonged the boys came back inside, Mui taking only a few large strides before he was by Ca’s side and planting a sweet little kiss on her chubby cheek. She blushed visible, but grinned all the same.
“Come one boys, to the table,” She turned and clapped her hands, and her children were all to happy to sit down to eat.
