Alzei & Raykel Miyamoto

...except that they are not actually twins! (just sisters... though I did a bit of copy/pasting xB)


Alzei is a fiery and passionate young woman who is dedicated in what she does. She is a fighter, and enjoys combat, sparring, and training. Vigorous and bold, she does not back down from a challenge, even against benders or users of ranged weaponry. She is cunning and confident, usually plastering a coy smirk over her face. She uses her fiery feminine wiles to her advantage when she can, and usually generates some form of results in the form of asskicking.
Despite this fierce and combative personality, Alzei is also generally quite cheerful, enjoying life and things that are beautiful. She dislikes arrogance, however, only believing that those who can back themselves up are worthy of boasting their skills. It is often these people that she goes against, and if by chance she loses, she tends to stay angry about it for a while.
The fiery passion that goes into nearly everything she does goes both ways after all. She is easy to please but similarly quick to anger. However, this too works in reverse, as she calms down fairly easily. She does not necessarily have mood swings, but when she is happy it is obvious, and similarly, when she is angry it is very obvious. Luckily, most of the time she is happy.
Her voice has an upbeat tone to it, and she enjoys good conversation, and has a playful demeanor that she takes on as well, often cracking jokes, sometimes even at someone else's expense. This too can add to her "feminine wiles" as she calls them, as she is somewhat experienced in knowing how to act seductive, regardless of her original or final intentions. Ultimately, Alzei lives fast, parties hard, and enjoys life. Chances are, she might die young with that attitude, but if she does, it will undoubtedly be doing something she loves.

Despite her lack of bending skills, Alzei is still a formidable opponent. She and her sister enjoy melee combat, specializing in hand-to-hand fighting and martial arts. She is also skilled with staffs and push daggers, although is more than competent enough without them, using her hands and feet as weapons in and of themselves. Her impressive hand-to-hand skills often throw people off given that an unarmed nonbender often seems more like a target than anything, and she is fine with this form of trickery.
She is fast and dextrous, using smaller but faster moves linked together to topple her opponents by slowly chipping away at them. Many of her moves have plenty of force, but even then, she is not likely to topple any but the slenderest toothpicks with a single blow or anything.
Alzei's weakness is her lack of ranged weapons and abilities. She does not throw knives or shoot arrows (or bend elements) or anything else like that. However, when she fights, she often wears bracers on her hands and fists, which she uses to then block most projectiles. With larger attacks such as elements, she uses her speed to dodge them. She might have some Air nomad blood in her because of this (although of course, this does not mean she never gets hit, for it happens plenty).
Apart from combat, Alzei is also a rather impressive dancer, her body elegantly twisting and turning to the beat of the music, and she is similarly rather attractive. Surprisingly, she is also a hard worker and is adept at managing physical labor, which might be helped by the fact that she is in excellent physical condition because of her dancing and training. Whatever the case, Alzei makes up her her weaknesses and lack of bending by sporting a versatile set of various talents that she tries to adjust for most situations, good or bad.

At first glance, Alzei has the appearance of a firebender, given the color of her eyes and hair, and even her red clothing. Her hot, passionate personality would almost seem to reflect it as well, and so it often comes as a surprise to people when she is revealed to not be a bender. Her fringe is set off to the sides of her face, with the rest of her billowing red hair tied off into a long, simple, but elegant and flowing ponytail.
She wears a short, snug red article that ends a few inches above the knees. It is almost like a leotard with legs, although it is not quite that form-fitting, and has large ruffles around each of the legholes. Lines of triangles dot each side of the garment, with a large one near her thighs which has colorful sashes tied onto each side, giving her a more elegant flowing look when she dances.
Alzei also has large metallic bracelets that fly loosely on her hands as she dances, and she can sometimes use them as weapons too. She wears simple sandals and bracers on her shins, also occasionally wearing gloves and bracers on her arms when she is sparring or fighting.
Her face usually has a confident smirk upon it, and she enjoys flaunting her nice features. She has a slender and slightly athletic build given her lifestyle, and her skin is lightly tanned compared to that of her sister. This seems to be mainly genetic, as their parents had different skin colors (and nationalities even) as well.

Alzei was born a little over a year after her sister Raykel, and the two were the daughters of a mixed-race family whose origins were likely Fire Nation and Water Tribe, with perhaps a bit of Earth Kingdom mixed in. No one really knew anymore, and no one really cared. Both had Earth Kingdom blood in them, but their father was a waterbender and their mother was a firebender. However, neither of the children inherited any bending abilities, be they fire, water, or even earth.
This did not discourage the Miyamotos, or their children. instead, they took up martial arts, self-defense, and hand-to-hand combat. Soon, the two of them had exceeded their parents in skill, and so were sent to more proper academies to learn the advanced combat skills. During this time, they also picked up skills with the bo staff and with dual katars, but the focus of their skills was in unarmed combat, so that should they ever be in a situation where they were without their weapons, they would still have ways to defend themselves. After all, pretty little ladies in some crummy little back-town of the Earth Kingdom were often a liability. Alzei and her sister Raykel were going to change that if they and their parents had anything to say about it.

The two sisters started training at 4 (Raykel) and 3 (Alzei), and so while it seemed that Raykel was at a slight disadvantage for starting a year later, instead it made the two sisters complement each other's fighting styles, both of them being approximately equal in skills. It was this type of bond, as well as the strength of their sibling-relationship that kept the two sisters travelling and living together.

They grew up with otherwise relatively normal lives. they occasionally travelled, they made friends, learned things in school, got jobs, and all that fun jazz in between. The only real oddity was that the two of them usually did jobs that involved physical labor, which they were surprisingly good at. When any skepticism was risen because of it, they simply explained it as a result of their lifestyles, for they were both very physically active and thus grew up in very good shape. They occasionally got in trouble at school or sometimes even at work for being so competitive, but they were generally amiable girls who would be totally fine with apologizing and making it up again if you gave them 5 or 10 minutes.

As they grew and matured to adulthood, they soon went into the world to go seek their fortunes, so to speak. their lives had certainly not been eventless. While they never made an official job at it, the sisters were quite adept at taking care of local thugs in their little town, soon basically eradicating most types of crime. however, experiences in larger cities told them that they were no superheroes, so to speak, but they were not interested in being official crime fighters. They preferred being those seemingly nameless bystanders that would jump to action if they saw something foul going down across the street from them or something.

Yep, despite their combat prowess, the Miyamoto sisters continued to live their lives as civillians, working jobs like shipping, loading, or construction quite frequently. on their off time, Alzei would dance and Raykel would sing, and the two have thus shared a similar passion for music all of their lives. Both of them loosely picked up a few instruments such as lutes and drums, but they prefer dancing to the music of other people.

So where are they now? The "Terrific Twins" (as they became known as in their local town) made their way to Ba Sing Se to live out their lives and take advantage of everything the big city would have to offer. This is the most likely place they would be found, as there is more than enough work for them, and plenty of space even in the confines of the city for them to travel around, relocating in search of better work or conditions or whatever else would be a cause to uproot them. Even today, with Raykel being 26 and Alzei being 25, the two sisters are nearly inseparable, and so if one is present, it is very likely that the other one is very close by.

**********************************************************


Raykel is calm and collected, with a flowing personality almost like water. She is also a fighter, enjoying the art of combat and self-defense. While not as reckless as her sister, she is bold and confident, able to back her abilities up as well. She will use her feminine wiles or her smooth, silvery voice to her advantage when necessary, usually ending up kicking ass alongside her dear sister.
Raykel enjoys music as well as combat, and she likes to sing, something she does rather well. She is passionate about her music, and there is a powerful flow to her emotions when she sings--and plenty of times even when she isn't.  Like her sister, she is still fairly quick to anger, and even quicker to calm down. As the older sister, she is very caring for her younger sister even though both of them can quite easily defend themselves.
She does have a little caution, but is still quite bold and daring. Nothing her sister has ever dragged her into has been something that she felt the need to shy away from, and she has given her own input in that regard multiple times, picking fights with all kinds of people.
Given that Raykel is very charismatic, she enjoys a good conversation, and is generally in a cheerful mood which in turn augments it further. Like her sister, she may also employ her "feminine wiles" at times, because that too is part of Raykel's playful and upbeat nature. She seems to enjoy the same playful type of teasing that her sister does, which is just another of many reasons why the two get along so well.
Ultimately, Raykel lives free, parties hard, and is just as likely to die young alongside her sister, probably with her as an accomplice. However, there is not a shadow of a doubt that she will die happy, whenever that time comes.

Despite her lack of bending skills, Raykel is still a formidable opponent. She and her sister enjoy melee combat, specializing in hand-to-hand fighting and martial arts. She is also skilled with staffs and push daggers, although is more than competent enough without them, using her hands and feet as weapons in and of themselves. Her impressive hand-to-hand skills often throw people off given that an unarmed nonbender often seems more like a target than anything, and she is fine with this form of trickery.
She is fast and dextrous, using smaller but faster moves linked together to topple her opponents by slowly chipping away at them. Many of her moves have plenty of force, but even then, she is not likely to topple any but the slenderest toothpicks with a single blow or anything.
Raykel's weakness is her lack of ranged weapons and abilities. She does not throw knives or shoot arrows (or bend elements) or anything else like that. However, when she fights, she often wears bracers on her hands and fists, which she uses to then block most projectiles. With larger attacks such as elements, she uses her speed to dodge them. She might have some Air nomad blood in her because of this (although of course, this does not mean she never gets hit, for it happens plenty).
Apart from combat, Raykel is a talented singer who sometimes sings the songs her sister dances to, and it is not just her voice that is so attractive. Surprisingly, she is also a hard worker and is adept at managing physical labor, which might be helped by the fact that she is in excellent physical condition because of her physical activity and training. Whatever the case, Raykel makes up her her weaknesses and lack of bending by sporting a versatile set of various talents that she tries to adjust for most situations, good or bad.

At first glance, Raykel has the appearance of a pale-skinned waterbender, given the color of her eyes and hair, and even her blue clothing. Her cool, passionate, and flowing personality would almost seem to reflect it as well, and so it often comes as a surprise to people when she is revealed to not be a bender. A little of her hair goes in front of her ears, and a large tuft of it tends to stick right upwards right above her forehead. The rest of it hands down loosely behind her, dropping past her hips.
She wears a ruffled ankle-length skirt and a darker-colored blouse with frilly sleeves, and has jewelery in the form of armbands, bracelets, and a necklace, all golden in color. Her feet are adorned with darker blue slip-on sandals. Her clothing has more of a gentle flow to it, akin to water and her gentle songs, as opposed to her sister's wild dances.
because of her physical activity, Alzei is slender and athletic, being in very good physical shape. She is pale-skinned, although this is genetic as opposed to a lack of sunlight. She tends to enjoy flaunting her nice features while adding her soothing voice for effect--and it works... quite effectively a lot of the time.
Her face usually has a calm and gentle smile upon it, and she enjoys flaunting her features. She has a slender and slightly athletic build given her lifestyle, and her skin is light compared to that of her sister. This seems to be mainly genetic, as their parents had different skin colors (and nationalities even) as well.
