Hey [@21308], I know this is already approved but I am going to place it here for safe keeping since it had to be altered back to the original. [b][color=7ea7d8]Name:[/color][/b] Shizue [b][color=7ea7d8]Bending ability if any:[/color][/b] Waterbending, Healing [b][color=7ea7d8]Birthplace:[/color][/b] Northern Water Tribe [img]http://img09.deviantart.net/653c/i/2015/115/2/4/pp_com__yuehei_by_chiuchiu_susu-d8r21f2.png[/img] [b][color=7ea7d8]Age:[/color][/b] 22 [b][color=7ea7d8]Backstory:[/color][/b] Shizue spent her younger years in the Northern water tribe, learning from the best on how to heal and fight when she showed potential at waterbending. It seemed all was practically perfect, that is until her mother got really sick and no matter how much anyone tried it just wasn't getting better. Shizue even tried herself once when her mother was sleeping, hoping that maybe she could do it but it hadn't done anything. Her mother still faded away, smiling even in her last moments and telling her daughter to stay the strong smiling girl she loved. Asking her to watch out for her father since he would need his little girl more than ever. It left an empty feeling in her heart but she didn't let it get her down, fighting to stay happy and strong for her dad. Her father on the other hand felt like they needed to get away, away from the place where he could see his wife in every person and every turn. He thought about joining his sister in the Southern Water Tribe but decided against it, having a feeling even their he would be haunted with the memory so instead he went to Republic City to start a new life. He opened up a little tea shop called 'Panda Lily' and it seemed that they could get along now. Shizue kept up her waterbending on her own when ever she could, only waiting till she was in her teen years to explore other regions of the world and working as a Hunteress (Selling whatever she caught) to live. It took her all over but she always came back to visit her father, telling him stories of her travels. It sadly became a perminate stay when her father was murdered, the shop and the place above it suddenly becoming her own. Shizue couldn't bring herself to get rid of the place he worked so hard to make and the only home she mostly remembered. The business thrived under her care, some even giving her silly nicknames like 'Tea Goddess' thanks to her special secret brews. It seemed she always had something for the right occasion [b][color=7ea7d8]Items/weapons on person:[/color][/b] Bow/Arrows and Daggers, Backpack (Filled with essential items), Water pouch [b][color=7ea7d8]Physical Attributes and Abilities:[/color][/b] Waterbending/Healing (III) Carried Weapons (II) Acrobatics (I) [b][color=7ea7d8]Other:[/color][/b] [img]http://orig12.deviantart.net/c3be/f/2008/208/d/e/avatar_oc___an_toan_by_cory_dee_mouse.jpg[/img] Shizue found this little guy in kind of a horrible way. She was hunting, trying to practice a better aim along with the fact she was tired of having fish everyday since she wasn't having much luck with anything else. It was the first time out on her own and there was no way she was going back so soon. She would be a failure in her eyes. It was then that she saw it,a large Addapard, it being occupied by what she assumed was a fresh kill or maybe even grazing so she took her shoot. Shizue rushed over in excitement but then felt her heart drop at what the beasts attention had been on. A small cub, its eyes not even open. Shizue felt like she might be sick, not even being able to look at the kill she had just made and not feeling right about eating the creature now. She carefully scooped up the cub, taking it with her and taking care of the poor boy by being its mother. Mitsuru is now her only companion.
