She was educated at a very early age on how to fish and harpoon, catching a variety of fish and other sea creatures. At 5, she learned the ancient art of waterbending, and became rather exceptional in the art. She used her skills to aid her in fishing. At the age of 10, she and her family were on a fishing boat, just mere miles north of the tribe, when a terrible storm appeared and wreaked chaos. Bai Shui regained consciousness 2 days later, on the southern shore of the Earth Kingdom, with her parents no where in sight. She wandered around the Earth Kingdom as a nomad, staying near the coast in order to be able to fish for food. She purified the salty ocean water in order to drink it. With the fish she caught, she some of her catch to make some money. After about 5 years living like this, she decided it was time for a permanent home. She found the quaint fishing village of Fanche-Yu, and took her residence there. She quickly became known throughout the town, with her wonderful personality, yet fierce waterbending skills. She aided the fishers in catching fish, by not only catching more fish in a shorter period of time, but finding different types of fish.[/center]
