[color=#117A65]Biography[/color]
Born and raised in the Earth Kingdom, and a middle child in a very large family, Amaya was the first bender in over two generations. 
At seventeen she bid her parents farewell and left home in hopes of mastering her element, but while she was gone a tragedy struck and most her family was killed. 
Only herself and her eldest brother, a soldier in the Earth Kingdom's army, were left alive. 
A year of grieving followed and Amaya found herself in a secluded village of non-benders. 
Hiding her ability allowed her to assimilate into the culture and she lived in peace for a handful of years before hearing rumor that the Avatar had been found. 
She sent word to her brother and the letter back confirmed what she had heard. 
Determined to redeem herself after the death of her family she has been looking for the Avatar ever since, hoping to provide some form of protection on his journey to stop The Order.
