Character Sheet

A young bender far from being called a Fully Realized Avatar, Taiyang (Tai or Yang for short) is from the Fire Nation- specifically the ancient civilization of the Sun Warriors. Maintaining the traditions of her past lives, Taiyang was informed of her heritage on her sixteenth name day and has recently set out from her homeland to begin learning airbending. As a parting blessing from her people the Sun Warriors bestowed upon Taiyang the options of an animal companion. There was no hesitation when she selected a young grey dragon as her counterpart. Firebending is her strongest element naturally and she demonstrates her proficiency in wielding blue flames. While she utilizes no physical weapon during combat Taiyang is interested in swordplay. Her body is in peak fighting shape due to her intense training as a Sun Warrior. With practically the whole world still unaware of the Sun Warriors existence Taiyang assumes the cover of a mere teenage from the Fire Nation Capitol. On the day she left her people Taiyang discarded her cultural possessions. She cut her long hair down to only an inch or two and shaved the sides nearly all the way down. Finalizing her historical shedding she washed away her red face paint and burned her clothing.

Growing up Taiyang worshiped the sun as the source of firebending and as the spiritual warmth in the world. Due to the relationship of her people and the dragons Ran and Shaw (of whom Yin is a descendant of) Taiyang once approached the masters when she was thirteen years old to receive judgement from them. Like the select few who had been deemed worthy before her, she learned the true nature of firebending. From an early age her skill with the element was apparent due to her blue fire. Additionally Taiyang is able to control when she utilizes blue or red fire and began to try breathing fire just recently. While she has never generated her own lightning, she is aware of the technique to redirect it- though she has never used it. On the nature of Taiyang's emotions she is struggling to cope with the sudden swift separation from her culture. Generally she is stoic and reserved due to an internal fear of loosing control over her dangerous bending. In regards to her previous way of life Taiyang is widely naive and detached in her understanding of the world.

Physical Features Demisexual, short black hair, golden amber eyes, tanned skin, five feet eight inches tall, approximately 155 pounds, born in the year 252 AG. 

火 ━━ Taiyang's animal companion is a descendant of the masters Ran and Shaw and resembles Zuko's dragon Druk. Hers is primarily grey in color with a darker underbelly and white accents resembling the darker side of the taijitu symbol. Yin grew up alongside Taiyang within the Sun Warrior community but formally became bonded with her rider in the farewell ceremony. Yin is about the size of Druk (still growing) and is directed by the reins tied around her horns, later a saddle can be fashioned to fit around her back for carrying passengers and those of Team Avatar.

气 ━━ Bending is a sacred art for Taiyang, she feels that it connects her with the sun and the warmth and lightness of spiritual energy. From a young age (before it was known she was the avatar) Taiyang possessed strong bending abilities- displayed by her blue colored flames and being capable of bending blue and red fire.
