Personality: Dar Nih is a very serious woman under most circumstances. Her father and mother were strict through her entire childhood. With a steady hand and heart, she tries to calculate everything before she takes action, giving her the appearance of seriousness nine times out of ten. Despite her rigid upbringing, when given the chance to let loose, Dar Nih is more than capable of enjoying herself and having a good time. With her entrance into the army, though, her attitude has become as rigid as ever. Her eyes never waver from her target when given one, and she never leaves a goal unfinished. Her ability to find and or have a good time or loosen up has drastically decreased. And inside her emotions fight, as she hasn't been able to detox from an even more rigid lifestyle than her upbringing. (140 words, counted)

Abilities: From a very early age, her father saw that she had the ability to bend and worked with her immediately. Her father was persistent in practicing every ability of earth bending. Covering all the basics to mastery until moving on. But her training wasn't just to move the earth around her. Dar Nih's training included spiritual practices, including breathing and reflexes. Her ability to breath in a way that made her bending even more efficient, even when in high adrenaline situations became second nature. She could breath like a monk as easy as she could blink. But her father didn't stop at the basics. She began training in more advanced skill shortly before joining the army and hasn't had much time to expand (besides the uniform moves taught in the army) since. But she hasn't given up hope of becoming a great bending master in the future. (147 words, counted)

Dar Nih, when given the opportunity to be alone, dresses in an elaborate outfit not normal to Earth Kingdom dress style. Her outfit is full body including a robe and hood. The material is laced with metal, providing a small amount of protection from very minor hits. Her face is angular and stern set with only faint laugh lines. A necklace is always found on her which was passed down through her family, but doesn't have much more importance than that. On her back, an elaborate collection of knives that she practices metal bending with. The knives are arranged in a four by four pattern with the final knife down the center across all blades. A slight hourglass figure defines her body with muscular legs which is where she draws a lot of her bending. The gloves are thinner in the palms to be almost nonexistent to allow for bending.

History: History: In the midst of spring, Haraka Mikashi went into labor with her first child. Her husband anxiously waited as the midwives did their work. The hours dragged on as the child would not be born into the world. The work was taxing on Haraka. Sweat rolled in waves down her forehead and body, dripping onto the simple cot upon which she was laying. The midwives did all they could to make the birth easy, but not much could alleviate the pain and struggle that wrought hell on the woman. After 19 hours of labor, the child was brought into the world and it was a girl! But with a final breath, Haraka Mikashi named her child and then no longer suffered from personhood after that moment. At about the age of 6, it became painfully obvious that the child, Dar Nih was a bender. This only made sense with both of her parents having had the ability to earth bend as well. Her father at first was gentle and caring, nurturing his daughter to appreciate and love the art of earth bending. But by the age of ten, he began cracking down harsh on her practices. With top marks in her school, she became a "perfect child." Everyday, her father made her train with rigid ferocity, never wavering in the structure of her learning. From a pretty young age, Dar Nih looked to the earth kingdom army for inspiration and had a flame of desire spark up in her when she saw them at work defending from a bandit raid. She thought their power and prowess was amazing and she wished every night to obtain their level of courage. Finally, at 18, her father let her go. He new that she needed to live life and experience the splendors and the downfalls of it all. After securing free lodgings for a short period of time, she went straight to the military to fight. And now, she begins her journey of life in the world. Training to be a soldier in the Earth Kingdom military. (345 words, counted)
