Name: Zia Kennithson

Age: 26

Origin: A small village in the fire nation.

Element: Air

Appearance: See above, Zia stands at ~ 5'11.

Equipment: A bo staff without a gliding mechanism, as well as a bag for carrying supplies in.

Personality: Zia is excitable, almost painfully so. Even the smallest of good news sends her mind into an almost childish stare of giddiness, this is probably the catalyst to her otherwise incredibly positive attitude towards life.

Bio: Zia, like most air-benders in the world was not born with the ability to bend an element. That, of course was due to air-bending being almost all but wiped out until Avatar Korra opened the third spirit portal during Harmonic Convergence, after that air-benders just kept popping up every so often, all of course until the avatar passed away. Zia first got her air-bending around two years ago, while still working farms out in the fire nation, so suffice to say she isn't the most experienced in her abilities and of course, she is partly to blame for that. Most air-benders went to the air temples to learn, Zia never did. She instead took this new found gift of bending, to move away from her simple farm life. Surprisingly, her parents agreed to it. 

So, two years ago, she set off with nothing but an old staff she found, her satchel and trusty pet turtleduck Derek. Making her way through the smaller villages of the Fire Nation, until she found it. Republic City, It was a new start and boy was she excited. She spent the next two years working for a bakery to make ends meet, and playing around with her airbending. Becoming what she would consider to be fairly proficient - although she had nothing to base that off of.

Other: Derek the turtleduck, a trusted companion from Zia's days in the fire nation:
