Personality: Yara is a total sap, an adamant pacifist, she is as naive as they come, and willing to give the shirt off her back to a total stranger. She believes anything at face value, despite knowing that she shouldn't, and wholeheartedly believes that every person is good. In large part her general patheticness is responsible for her appearance. After shaving off half her hair, dying the rest, adding a few piercings, and carrying shiny blades where she can she found alot less people were willing to take advantage of her personality.

Bio: Born and raised in what was left of the Northern Water Tribe, her father was a "Spiritual advisor" spending most of his time at the spirit portal, while involved in her life he was never nearly as much as her mother. Her mother on the other hand was a rather high ranking official in the local militia. She was gruff tough, and took a pretty hardline approach to just about every situation. So it is no wonder that in her rebellious nature, Yara took after her father's passive attitude. She took to meditating on problems rather than taking action against them, and whether it was actually working or that everyone was just terrified of what her mother might do to them if things didn't work out. Things always did for Yara.

Eventually though her parents felt it was pretty apparent that living in what amounted to the remnants of a once great civilization with no real stations to aspire to wasn't what they wanted for her. They sent her to Ba Sing Se to live with her rather wealthy uncle. Unfortunately though the change of scenery wasn't something she took to very well. She was homesick, the city was massive, and completely foreign to her. She spent almost all of her free time for a long time just meditating, not entirely sure what she was trying to accomplish. Eventually though she gave up and ventured into the world, though she quickly found that despite still living a rather comfortable lifestyle, everything had changed. She was no longer the daughter of a woman who would blow your brains out at a whim. She was the naive niece of a rich fat uncle who himself was rather detached. It wasn't long before others noticed, schoolmates, beggars, boyfriends. It was obvious people were taking advantage of her, but she was steadfast in her beliefs and would not alter them, instead choosing to change her appearance to something a bit more intimidating.

Extra: Despite her pacifist nature, Yara is trained in basic swordplay and throwing knives for self-defense. She is pretty strictly against guns though.
