Kyoshi warriors are allowed! And to be honest, given the traditional dress, if you wanted to just use Suki art, that would be okay. [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6f/50/e3/6f50e39ef41b6902fbb411b280363190.jpg]One I had on my Pinterest, if it's needed.[/url] Some quick ideas, mixing and matching is okay if you want (or you can ignore them):

[indent]- Kyoshi Island as a whole is canon levels of 'neutral' - especially since the war is relatively young. It's no Hundred Year War yet - but your character is not and wishes to head to the conflict and assist the Earth Kingdom military.

- Kyoshi Island wants to know what is going on, so send her as a scout and/or diplomat to Ba Sing Se.

- Potentially they could want to advertise their unique style and way of life, so looking for recruits in the city or training newbies (probably in the Upper or Middle Rings, although it could be a personal quest, in which case the Lower Ring could also work).

- Alternatively, since I think the chances of having two Kyoshi Warriors is low, you could also go non-canon and have them [i]be[/i] in the war due to an attack on their island, which may or may not have been repelled. If you do choose to add to the lore of this alternate timeline, let me know and I'll add whatever you want to the... Earth Kingdom section? Water Tribe section? Somewhere?[/indent]

Hmmm. Those are all really great suggestions! 

I'm leaning towards two though. Maybe there was a small invasion on the Kyoshi island (maybe for their land since it'd be a great location for future invasions) which breaks them away from the neutral stance they were attempting to maintain, thus sending my character to Ba Sing Se as a scout/diplomat. Perhaps for new recruits to better their defenses, or to speak to the King to establish a stronger alliance to the Earth Kingdom to ensure protection, or to request an extension on their defenses to properly protect Kyoshi Island. I might do all of the above, what are your thoughts?

Also, given that my character would be leaving the Island as a face for the Kyoshi warriors, should I give her some years behind her? As in, should I not make her an early-twenties, or late-teens kinda gal?

I'm looking for art right now and I've found some, if they fail though, I might go with Suki art since you're allowing it :)
