[color=darkgray][sub][u]APPEARANCE DETAILS[/u][/sub][/color] 
[indent][color=25963E]Suyin has inherited much of the notable features of Earth Kingdom citizens. Green eyes, dark skin, most notably because she is not from a noble family, and dark brown hair. Because she is from the western part of the Earth Kingdom she wears her hair down, mostly seen in a neat or messy ponytail. She has been seen wearing it up neatly, but it usually becomes undone and spills over her face whenever she begins bending. As a warrior and citizen of Omashu, she wears a tunic that conforms mostly to her chest and abdomen with the sides made of a loosely breathable silk that falls behind and to the sides of her. The silk is colored white in contrast to the popular muted beiges and browns normally adorned by Earth Kingdom citizens with some hints of greens. The tunic rests comfortably over a long shirt and pants fastened by a sash. Under her sleeves rests bronze bracelets that slide off her arms comfortably through metal bending. Lastly, she wears leather sandals that run down the distance of her shin with the under-sole being completely exposed to her foot. 

In terms of jewelry her upper right ear is pierced with a simple ring. Centered in her forehead are jewels neatly arranged in a pattern that signifies her warrior lineage in Omashu. Suyin is a beast of a girl, she towers over many girls or peers her age given that she stands at 180 cm and weighs a comfortable 68 kg. Most of her weight is attributed to the creases and bumps of muscles chiseled on her body, but she still has the soft features of a woman.[/color]

[color=darkgray][sub][u]PERSONALITY[/u][/sub][/color] 
[indent][color=25963E]Suyin is a bit rough around the edges when first encountered, unable to completely develop a personality outside of the one that would mimic the one needed to achiever her goals, has left her stumbling through forming one now. Two virtues that she does derive from her personality are patience and slowness. Much like the earth that she bends below her feet she is patient in knowing that things will eventually run their course in proper due time. Her moves are slow but concise and with due precision. It’s easier to be slow and efficient than fast and prone to making mistakes. Despite being patient she is prone and suffers from being headstrong and stubborn. She can become an immovable object when she decides or commits to one action. While she is hard to convince to change her convictions it isn’t impossible. Though stubborn, she also is quite sensitive when it comes to herself. She has a soft spot for her country, the people who live there, and expressing herself as she hasn’t been able to do so properly for a time now. Loyalty and strength seem to be her most outward and reliable qualities, but even earth can turn to mud.[/color][/indent]

[color=darkgray][sub][u]BIOGRAPHY[/u][/sub][/color] 
[indent][color=25963E]Suyin’s life is a complicated one. Growing up in Omashu meant a few things. The most prominent being they were second to Ba Sing Se in almost everything. This always led to conflict between the two cities which led to major events, most notably, the Night of Silenced Sages. With Kyoshi’s support of Guo Xun as Queen of Omashu the monarch began feuding with the monarch of Ba Sing Se. This lasted well into Roku’s era and elicited spies from each city to occupy the other. With this goal of undermining the King’s power, Suyin’s family became one of the emissaries to the Queen before she was born to help aid in that effort. With countless generations and members of her family serving the queen and becoming spies for her that were sent to Ba Sing Se their affairs were kept secret along with their training. It wasn’t until the start of the war incited by the Fire Nation that she was conceived. During her upbringing she was taught every manner of espionage needed to infiltrate and continue the wishes of her cities Monarch along with the history and support of Kyoshi. 

Because of the war and Omashu becoming an industry giant for providing weapons and supplies for the war front, she was able a space for more privacy and lack of identity within her city. She made her way to Ba Sing Se to fulfill her duty. Once there she found the most efficient path was to join the Dai-Li since it was founded by Kyoshi and would allow her to more intimate knowledge to the cities secrets and workings than anything else. When she was 13 she joined the Dai-li hoping to extract any and all information she could from the organization. Over the years she learned the techniques taught to prevent political dissidence and espionage from both fire nation and earth nation alike. Over the next several years the original vision and purpose of the Dai-li began to operate in a grey area becoming more prone to corruption. Seeing this, Suyin, sought to change this and return back to Omashu. 

This was until her correspondence was caught by one of the Dai-li. With capture on the horizon and the route home compromised she defected in hopes of finding some way home or some kind of help. That help displayed itself as the Avatar, once a myth now a reality.
