[color=deepskyblue][b]Background:[/b][/color] 
Born in the Northern Water Tribe, Nadia was taught from a young age that balance meant everything. Whether it was the sun and rain coming together to bring life to plants, or light and darkness both being needed in the world, balance was necessary. Of course, as she grew older, what her elders had meant was 'know your place'. For as long as she could remember, the old ways were what governed their tribe, where everyone had their duty to fulfill and that was the end of it. There was no going outside of the elders' wishes, what was planned for your future was set in stone if they so willed it.

And for a long time, Nadia accepted it.

Of course, things would change. It wasn't until a journey outside of the tribe that she got to see the world with her own eyes. But before she could fully explore, she would get whisked away back to the safety of the walls she had grown up surrounded by. Those same walls soon became a glided cage as she quickly realized the tensions between the Northern Water Tribe and the Earth Kingdom grew, and yet nothing was done. The Tribe was convinced they were safe, but Nadia felt that even with that, what of the rest of the world? For a tribe that preached about balance, they were so self-absorbed that they wouldn't admit that things were wrong.

And with that, Nadia decided she would seek out the Avatar--the only one she believed could take on An-- herself.

[color=deepskyblue][b]Bending Ability:[/b][/color] 
As a waterbender from the Northern Tribe, Nadia is a skilled healer. However, she has no experience using her skills offensively, as teaching women martial bending is outlawed. Whatever she does know is purely self-taught, though turning water into ice and vice versa is child's play to her as she used to help maintain the buildings in the tribe.

Carries a water skin that has a sewn on pocket around her waist, along with water it holds her currency and betrothal necklace. She also carries a small journal, often writing her adventures in it.

[color=deepskyblue][b]Sample Post:[/b][/color] 
[hider=By the Moonlight]The pier was mostly empty, with very few people giving her even a passing glance, but for once it was to Nadia's benefit. With bag in hand, she made her way to the end, spotting the small canoe that was promised to her. Taking in a deep breath, she approached it cautiously, constantly looking around. No, she needed to relax a little, she was going to look suspicious at this rate. The canoe was empty, and as she would place her bag down, the crunching of the snow alerted her that someone was approaching.

Expecting the worst, she immediately froze in place, but as she turned, she was only met with concerned eyes. A girl of similar height approached her dock, stopping at the small steps. Her hair was parted into numerous braids, all ending with small, golden beads. Her blue eyes were illuminated by the moonlight, arms crossed with her violet jacket keeping her warm. "Did you think I was your father?" The gentle girl asked, shaking her head, the beads in her hair clinking against one another quietly. "Though, with how you kept looking this way and that, I was sure you were expecting some sort of sea monster."

Letting out a breath of relief, Nadia nodded at her as she met her eyes. "[color=deepskyblue]Miakoda...I thought you didn't approve of my departure?[/color]" She asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"I'm only here to put in my last shot at getting you to stay," She replied, frowning slightly. "I'm begging you, reconsider. This is a fool's errand, don't you see?"

"[color=deepskyblue]What would you have me do instead? Remain imprisoned where there is nothing I can do for anyone?[/color]" How many times were they going to have this conversation? Taking in a deep breath, Nadia tried to sympathize. There was little understanding between them, and Nadia wasn't going to change her mind now. She couldn't. "[color=deepskyblue]You may not want to admit it, but I know you agree that [I]something[/I] must be done.[/color]"

"And you would chase the hope of finding a single person in the entire world?" Miakoda kept her voice quiet, but her distress was imminent as she descended the steps. "Warlord An is relentless, I'm more than certain the Avatar is well-kept in a dungeon. Your search will be in vain!"

"[color=deepskyblue]Then that is where I'll go,[/color]" Nadia insisted, staying strong to her devotion. "[color=deepskyblue]Our world is not the only one in danger without the Avatar. I must do what I can with the moon guiding me.[/color]" 

At this point, Miakoda would become frustrated with Nadia, though she managed to contain herself. "How can you be so certain you'll even be able to?" She asked, walking up to her. "I don't understand you."

She wasn't certain. "[color=deepskyblue]I have to try. Right?[/color]"

Miakoda never imagined that Nadia would throw her own words back at her. The girl's eyes watered, but she refused to let the tears flow. Instead, she would take Nadia's hands in hers. The two stood in silence, a single moment of clarity between the two. No matter how much reasoning she had, she would not convince her. The realization hit the girl hard, her hands shaking against her will.   

"[color=deepskyblue]I understand your concern, but something must be done. I must do whatever it takes to spare our people war,[/color]" Nadia admitted quietly.

It seemed that finally Miakoda would admit defeat, pulling herself away from Nadia. "Come back soon, okay?" She said, clasping her hands together.

Nodding, Nadia would hop onto the canoe, kneeling down and sitting on her feet. Bringing her arms up, she began to slowly bend the water around the canoe, propelling herself gently through the water. She looked back at Miakoda, who gave her a small wave, and with renewed confidence, Nadia continued forward into the night.[/hider]
