Mai Li

Full Name:Mai Li
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Element: Airbender
Birthplace: Northern Air Temple
Position: Um...position? XD


Personality: Mai is extremely energetic, and typically annoys people around her. She will frequently ask question that aren't even remotely related to the topic at hand, and will become depressed, and distant when people finally do snap, and demand she be quiet. She is a very vocal person who likes to let people know how she feels. She, like all Airbenders, is a pacifist, and has quite a well developed silver tongue.

Abilities: Mai is a gifted Airbender, and can manipulate the air around her to form powerful gales. She is althetic, and flexible, given her small size, it helps her manuever around larger, stronger opponents to find weak points, or escape easily, if necessary. What Mai lacks in raw strength, she makes up for in technique, capable of toppling foes twice her size with ease. Mai's favorite attack is the Air Slap, which she has claimed as her own personal trademark move. Usually to intimidate, or insult more than to harm. Mai knows she is attractive, but often times wishes she wasn't as it causes more harm than good, friendships she had enjoyed since childhood were ruined by the fact that she became a woman, and her friend became a man.

Appearance: Mai has black hair that hangs at around two feet, it's usually brushed back, or in a neat bun(I'll specify). Mai has a thin figure with distinct size difference in her(What a way to introduce her...) chest and rear. She never goes anywhere without her Airbending attire, she'll refuse to wear any other Nation's colors, even if it was snowing, and she was soaking wet.
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 132lbs Mai appears skinny, but most of her weight is muscle.
Eyes: Sky blue
Hair: Black

Mai is thin, but healthy. She wears her Airbender clothing everywhere.(Harder than I thought.) Mai has burn marks on her wrists, and hands, which she typically pretends don't exist. The burns don't inhibit her abilities, though it may give Firebenders reason to be suspicious. When Mai has her hair down, it usually falls into her eyes, and she costantly has to push it back, when it's in a bun, she constantly adjusts it, always believing it is crooked.

Weaponry & Other Gear:
Airbender Glider, bedroll, Flying Lemur
Code:
Item Name Airbender Glider
Materials: Wood, various sail-like materials(Good for flying)
Description: The glider can open up into a winged flying device, and can be closed and double as a staff.


History: Mai grew up in the Northern Air Temple, quite unaware of anything aside from her community. To Mai, there was no world outside the temple. Mai lost her parents at a young age, and can't even recall what they looked like anymore. This was when she obtained the scars on her hands and arms, a rogue firebender attacked, ambushed her family, by the time the monks arrived, and forced the intruder away, the damage had been done. As they entered the house, finding the charred bodies, they could hear the soft cry of a young girl, hiding in a closet. They took her away from the house, mended her wounds, and taught her the art of Airbending, which she understood surprisingly well, surpassing the other children, and becoming a child prodigy. Her most devout supporter, her master, Ochi, was her final trainer, and was the one who had demanded she be honored with the title of Master(Honorary, not Official), despite her young age. When she was young, most of her friends were boys, afterall, she found the games the girls played to be boring. She was a reliable player in air soccer, and learned early that every Airbender hit the ground running. As she began to age, she realized that things were changing, not just her own image, but the way her friends treated her. She moved from being their best friend with cooties to their love interest. Though they initially tried to maintain a friendly demeanor, once they realized that she really did just want friends, they drifted away. She found herself alone, the girls didn't accept her because she acted too much like a boy, they wanted to use their skills for gentler hobbies, while Mai wanted to go back to playing air soccer. After a time, she decided to leave, although the Masters implored her to reconsider, she smiled, and declined, thanking them for everything they had taught her, and how kind they had been despite her energetic, and, most times, inhibiting behavior. They all smiled kindly, and wished her the best. Ochi was the last person to confront her, the old face smiling, yet tears formed in the corners of his eyes. He had always been a fatherly figure, and now, as she prepared to leave, he offered her one last thing, it appeared from almost nowhere, sniffing curiously, a flying lemur, one that she had seen lingering in her Master's home, she never would have guessed he had intended it to be her's. She smiled widely, hugging her master in powerful hug, which he returned, he had no words to aside from making her promise to return and visit frequently. She swore on her honor as an Airbender that she would come home every other week, and hugged him one last time before departing, in search of new places, and far away things.


Sample RP: Mai Li stands on the edge of the Great Divide, staring out into the beauty before her, a smile on her face. Even in the Northern Air Temple, she had never seen such an amazing view.

owing to a lack of other administrator activity, I'm just going to go ahead and do the deed myself, and put you at the Expert Airbender level. if you want something different let me know (and explain why)

I approve too.
