Gender:Female
Age: 24?
Element: Air
Birthplace: Unknown
Position: Vagabond Warrior
Training: Airbending (Expert), Polearm (Expert), Hand to hand (Intermediate).
Personality: (259)
Mikasa has what would be considered a distant personality. For instance, she's no want to form any friendships. The few she's ever had were born out of a desperate need of survival that continued after the danger had passed. Rarely would she strike up a conversation herself. Mikasa is not so introverted that she won't participate in another's at least. It is not some fear of others she has that causes her to seem shy; shy is an incorrect term to label her as. Mikasa has no explanation for the way in which she acts. It is simply the way she is wired.
Fear is an emotion she has never felt. Against beast of the forests or the man who took her eye she has never shown it. Mikasa won't let anything or anyone best her if a challenge arises. This makes her incredibly brave but also stupid in its own right. Being outmatched and facing certain defeat or even death would have most on the run. Not her, she'll stand and reap what was sown. The good and the bad.
Mikasa has a true love for fighting. And she found it young. It may be wrong to wish to fight. Especially for an Airbender. She’s no temple totaling monk though. She’ll do damn well as she pleases and if you have anything you want to say to her you best be ready to back it up.
She has a lot of developing to do. The way she lives now will lead to her end sooner than the latter.
Abilities: (250)
Mikasa's elemental affinity is Air. She is rather refined in the use through constant practice and application. Refined is a relative term though; and while she may be skilled she is far from ever obtaining mastery without help. One day she will be able to accept this fact.
Her polearm is her main weapon to fight with. And what a versatile weapon it is. It gives her an extended range of attack. She is easily able to block as it were a staff yet strike with the blade as if it were a sword. She has many years of use with it, nearing a masters ability in its use. Much like Aang's staff, she can use hers to launch air attacks as well.
Hand to Hand: Mikasa uses mostly kicks to aid in continuously attacking her opponent. Her hands needed for her pole-arm. Her size gives her a very high power advantage over even the most skilled of martial artists. Keeping her balance is always the issue but she can compensate should she ever lose it by bending or using her pole-arm. She will fight with her fists should she be disarmed. Again her size gives her a fantastic advantage of power and reach. Mikasa could knock you flat on your ass without allowing you in range of striking back.
Intimidation is another skill she has going for her. Being 6'10" has her towering over everyone. Who wouldn't be afraid of an Amazonian sized girl wielding a weapon big enough to split-roast a yak on.

Height: 6'10"

Mikasa is a titan walking amongst mortals. She really is an oddity. Some speculate she's of the Kyoshi bloodline. Why else would she be so tall and have such strength. Of course the very notion is absurd. It’s all simply genetics; ok, not so simple. But she is a very tall woman and that’s all she needs to know. Mikasa's one and only eye is a bright green. She keeps the scar hidden underneath several sewn together sashes. Her hair is long, silver, and generally does what it feels like. She doesn't look like some savage living in the woods at least. Adorning her head is two wolfs ears she's attached clips to so she could wear them. Miakasa also has a white tail tied to the back of her outfit from the same creature. They've been treated so they do not degrade. It’s an off fashion choice but everyone wears furs right, it’s just how you wear them. Mikasa radiates a natural beauty. She may carry scars but that does not ruin her image. It may even heighten it for those that are in to such things. Down from her ankles and back up to her shoulders she is covered in tribal tattoos. Much like Water Tribe ones but she had never seen any before, so her designs are entirely devoid of that influence. She says there original ideas and denies the similarities. She's got quite a bit of muscle for a woman, but she is a warrior. Not some pretty rose kept hidden away.
Her clothing depicts no national origin. Blacks, gold’s and purples. Her top is a corset design, showing off some skin. A gold sash rings around from her left shoulder. A multi piece skirt covers her lower body. A larger purple silk sloth runs around the sides and back while a golden re-appropriated tabard covers the front. She wears sandals and ankle coverings that are attached. Lastly there is a leather skirt she wears. Heavily dyed and exquisitely designed, she obtained it from a noble’s saddle she stole and redesigned. It offers her hips some protection.
Weaponry & Other Gear:
Polearm (Copy-paste as many times as needed)
Materials: Oak and Steel
Description: A wicked steel blade polearm. Reaching somewhere over eight feet in length. The staff is hand hewn oak and constitutes about three quarters of the entire weapon. The rest is taken up by the blade and its mounting. Slightly curved on the outer edge for slashing, but straight forged on the back end to allow stabbing.
History: (767)
Mikasa's origins trace back to the Air Nomads. She only knows this because she has power over the wind. Any and all memories of her parents have been lost to time. Whether they're even alive is questionable. She doesn't even know her real name. She had been given one by her charge, but took to calling herself Mikasa when she died. According to the woman who raised her; she found her in the forest when she was about ten years old. But her actual age is unknown and may be one or two give or take from that. Her adoptive mother was an old widower. Probably kept and fed her so she could help with the chores and such. Never showed too much affection towards her but hey, that’s bitter old widowers for you. Once she passed to the afterlife Mikasa sold off the house they lived in and much of the belongings. She didn't want to stay where she was anymore and began to travel. She was only about sixteen. This was also when her abnormal growth began. She grew ever taller as she went about her own wishes. She's finally stopped at her current height, but whether or not she may get taller yet is unknown.
Free on her own and tough as a Bison she took up prize fighting for money once hers ran out. She billed herself as the 'Female Titan', taking on anyone who wished to try and best her. Many underestimated her strength and size. Gold lined her pocket when needed all thanks to their poor judgement. She eventually grew bored and took up a weapon to really fight. Mikasa is more of an adventurer than a mercenary. But neither would be incorrect to describe her as. She needs an income somehow, and treasure hunting is typically fruitless.
Now about her eye you've probably been wondering. Mikasa was 19 years old and cocky as all hell. Rather fresh in becoming a self-proclaimed warrior. She took on a job of escorting a nobleman from Omashu south to Gaoling. She wasn't alone of course. The man had his own guards and several other sell swords contracted. In all they numbered around thirty, more than enough they thought. Well, how wrong they were. Their travel rout was known and the ambush was perfectly laid. Right as a caravan traveled through a narrow pass. They all fought bravely but the enemy had all the advantages. Archers reigned arrows down on them from atop the cliffs first. Then they rode down with bending, more were waiting further ahead charged in. Hemmed in from the front and their backs blocked off by Earth benders they were screwed. Mikasa fought against those first archers who came down. Managing with the others to thin them out before the main force charged in. Thats when everything really went to hell. Their leader turned up the earth like it was weightless. Tossing several of them about and sending the carriage the noble was in on its side. The most experienced of their whole group took up point against this master of earth. They rest of the survivors covered his flank. Now it was Gruff, the old merc against the leader. They didn't bend. Mikasa knew he was an excellent Firebender and the other an earth. This was to be decided by swords and the rest duked it out however they pleased. Their leader was like a demon or something. It took him only a short while to cut down Gruff. Mikasa went to his aid but it was too late, blood just flew from his as he went down. The demon went after her next as she was now closest. The others were dying left and right. Like lightning he danced around her polearm and with a single skyward slash cut open her face. This was how she lost her eye. Lost it to the demon. Most of the others were killed, only the youngest seemed to of been spared. There were three including her. The demon and his soldiers took them with them. Mikasa was in too much pain to do anything about it. They removed her eye and sewed up her face. Why she didn't know, she didn't care. She only wanted the pain to end. She pleaded for a swift death but they would not oblige. A week later they were released about a days from Omashu. Even gave their weapons back. Mikasa made a promise she'd get back at him for the eye. He only said she was welcome to try, but only after she got stronger.
