Name: Mona Tzu
Age: 17 years
Gender: Female
Nation: Earth
Bender?: No
Physical Appearance: Mona is a fair skinned woman with dark brown hair. She inherited her mother's eyes that are very dark brown and fairly large. She has a fairly average body size (a size six in our modern terms). She is also of average height ( 5'4'' maybe?). She likes to look clean but not to the extent of a neat freak. She clips her nails and keeps dirt out of them. She prefers putting her hair in a half ponytail. She has a round shaped face. Her long fingers allow her to play stringed instruments with skill and to drum her fingers while she waits for others. She has a little mole on the left side of her neck. Her ears are large and she has little jade earrings that are family heirlooms from a distant aunt. Her nose is quite large at the flares. Her feet size are not tiny but they are not big either (perhaps about a size 7 and a half).
Clothing/Armor: On school days, she will wear her school mistress clothing. This is a dress that is robe like. The outfit comes in three parts: a long skirt, a top, and a jacket vest. Hers are made in the style of a school teacher: more modest, less decorative, and in simple colors with simple fabrics. Her favorite "work" clothing is a set that is jade green with a golden lining on the end of the sleeves and on the bottom of the skirt and vest. During festivities, she wears a white set with blue flowers. Her choice footwear are comfortable flats since she is on her feet most of her day. During the summer, she will take up sandals to keep her feet cool in the hot Earth summers of the South.
Weapons: What will a teacher do with a weapon? Well, perhaps she might use a ruler to "discipline" wrong doers....
Personality: Mona is one of those people who can give a bright "Good Morning!" even if she hasn't gotten much sleep. She is also very creative so that the children in her class have fun in school. She often comes up with new games for them to play. Although she may be fun, she also rules the classroom with an iron fist (and a ruler!). She does not tolerate laziness and disrespect. She wants all her students to understand all subjects so she works hard to keep everyone up. She loves when there are students are up to task and encourages progress. She keeps a level head in situations in the classroom and out. She is frusterated when she does something wrong and is obsessed with making it right. She loves laughing and laughs bubbling when her students say or do funny things. Mona loves a good debate about all aspects of life and she is able to make very good points about various debates. She is also open minded about things and value all opinions. She is also very musical. She loves listening and making music. Her favorite instrument is a guitar that is most commonly connected with traveling Nomads. She also loves singing and leads a group who sings for the village on special occasions.
In summery, she is a leader who is hard working and leaves no one behind in their tasks. She also has a creative side that she loves to use often. In addition, she can keep things in control and has a firm hand with the controlling. She is bright both intellectually and personality wise. She loves to talk and express her views and others. She loves children and her close ones and shows great loyalty to them. Sometimes, she will be frustrated by the little things and works hard to get rid of the little things.
Background: Mona was born into a middle class family in the southern regions of the Earth Nation. Her father is a shop keeper of common goods (such as ink and tea) and her mother stays home to keep the house. She also has two older sisters (Tei and Pan) who were 11 and 10 respectively when Mona was born.
As a young child, she was exposed to some mathematics because her father often showed her how it was done after seeing her interest in numbers. At a young age, her mother taught her how to read and write. She attended the village school that her uncle taught and grew up with neighborhood boys and girls.
When she turned 13, she was recommended to a girls academy in Ba Sing Sei by a wealthy distant aunt who heard of this studious "prodigy." She attended the school for three years where she fought with the smell of a big city and homesickness. There, she lived with her aunt and was introduced to many honored people. She met many girls there who considered her common, but she made many friends nonetheless.
After graduating first in the class (though not without a struggle), she returned home to her village for a summer. Her aging uncle then decided to retire and recommended Mona for the job. Instead of returning to Ba Sing Sei to teach in the school she attended as was the original plans, she stayed to teach the little villagers.
After news of her staying got around, many "boys" as she called them (her classmates from her younger days) came around to call upon her. One was a certain Tian who attended a large boy school in a different city, a scholarly rival from the early days. Many thought those two would marry quickly but time went on and the two remained friends.
Now, he and other childhood boy friends are going into the army and she is teaching the young children in hopes that they return safely.
Sample RP: Mona stood on the side of the street watching the parade go by. There was a large crowd that came out to cheer on the new recruits that were going off to war, to fight for their freedom. Ladies waved their handkerchiefs and boys ran along with the marching troops. Music was playing loudly, sending the men off with celebration. Emotions were running high, now was a time to celebrate. Cries of "On to the Fire Nation!" and "Down with the Fire Lord" rang with a gleam.
Mona sighed as she watch familiar faces go by. Many of the boys going off were kids she grew up with, her friends. They had been excited about going off to war for many weeks. Training took place out in the fields outside of the village and often the children in her class went out to watch.
She saw Tian go by with a soldier's face. After flashing a smile, she sighed. Last night, there had been a party thrown by the young ladies for the soldiers. She took up the memory of flirting with them for one last time, joking with them.
Tien teased her all night. "Mona, promise me you won't get married before I get back home."
Mona rolled her eyes and said sarcastically "I'll wait by my window everyday for you. Do come back soon."
That night was filled with laughter, music, dance, and hope. It was a hope that these men would return to the ladies safely.
Mona was brought out of her memory by loud drums that sent the men off. As the soldiers left, a large question came in. It came to friends, wives, sisters, brothers, mothers, and fathers: Will they come back?
