Full Name: Alxina "Alxi" Jyan
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Element: None--Nonbender
Birthplace: Omashu
Position: Unofficial Warrior
Personality:
Alxi is a tomboy, to say in the least. She's silent, doesn't say much, and does not express emotion all that often. She's used to being on her own, so her social skills are slightly under-developed, and she's EXTREMELY shy. She is unable to hear in her right ear, and is partially deaf in her left, which causes her to stare at people blankly when they speak to her lower than loud talking. This causes them to believe that she is stupid, although she is not. She is also a vegetarian; meat disgusts her after her past of eating human flesh.
Abilities:
Alxi is a nonbender, although trained in the way of the knife since a very young age. She also has extremely swift fingers, and is agile and quick, her small frame able to dodge most things.
Appearance:
Height: 5'0"
Weight: 110 pounds
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Alxina has blonde, wavy hair that is extremely long, almost reaching her knees. She usually leaves this down, and it's always perfect--not a strand out of place. Good hygiene and a belief in proper appearances is what inspires such perfect features. Her eyes are large, round, and huge, the azure color almost shocking; her nose is unusually small; her upper and lower lips are both full, plump, and a pale shade of pink. She is a little on the thin size, but she's always been a tiny thing, although she has nice curves; her bust is round and firm; hips are nice and of an attractive size; waist tiny and a rather shapely round bum. Always dressed in a black shirt, low cut or otherwise, she usually either wears shorts or a skirt with them, with combat boots that are slightly too big for her that reach up to mid-calf. You wouldn't know that her feet are tiny in comparison to those boots with the way she walks, though. She's extremely toned for a female, the muscle definition in her arms and stomach the most apparent. Her face is marred by a single scar on her chin, her hands having three or four as well. Other than this, her skin is flawless.
Weaponry & Other Gear:
Nami:The same dagger that Alxina had met Eona with, this dagger is named after her sister who was killed--and eaten.
Tui and La:Fans inspired by the Kyoshi warriors, but with her own twist (daggers), Alxina created these fans to aid her in fighting. She named them after waterbending spirits and keeps them close at hand at all times, usually folding inside of her belt.
Obsidian Claws--UnnamedClaws given to her by Eona, Alxi has kept her prowess with these through the years.
[Drawing coming later.]
LolaniBecause pets count as gear.
Lo is an eagle-fox, about the height of a mountain lion and muscular, although she has small limbs and her tail is very bushy. Her fur is brown and white, while her wings have a salt-and-pepper look, although they are brown and white as well. She's extremely protective of Alxi.

I drew that. >_<
History:
The Beginning Born into a family of four, Alxi had been a precocious baby. Her parents expected her to be an airbender, like her two older siblings, but when the skill made no appearance, she felt shunned by all she knew. In all actuality, none but her siblings and their friends poked fun at her for it, but clouded by ignorance and misjudgment, Alxina had begun to hate her family. Her siblings (more her older brother than her sister, but still both) enjoyed teasing her about not being able to bend, and often tripped her with their airbending. One day, her sister Nami did so, and Alxina fell upon a brick, leaving a long scar on her chin slightly to the right, under her lower lip. This had hardened her a bit, and made her realize that even your loved ones can be cruel.
She liked to get away from them from time to time, no easy task as her parents liked to watch her closely, as she was easily influenced. When she did, she'd hide in the crowded streets of Omashu until sunset before returning home and was reprimanded for her misdeeds. When she was young, she enjoyed thievery.
The KillingsAll of that had changed one day, when Alxi was off exploring yet again. She met a woman, called Eona, who wanted to kill Alxina and use her skin for clothing. Instead of dying, Alxina offered her family up to the serial killer, and so maintained her life. Aiding Eona in the murder of her parents and brother, Alxi became both cannibalistic and a fearsome killer. Eona adopted the girl as her own; at first, it was a dream come true. They once found her sister, Nami, and killed her as well, after months of fattening the girl up. Nami's death was gruesome, and bothered Alxina immensely. After this, she seemed to change, little by little. She received less pleasure from others' deaths, and would throw out the human meat her adoptive mother would give her, instead preferring to go into the woods during the day and eating berries and other things.
Run AwayFour years after meeting Eona, she ran away one afternoon when Eona was gone. She never looked back, but maintained fear that Eona would one day find her. This scared her most of all, and she traveled to Ba Sing Se at the young age and worked. She worked as a farmer's hand, as a seamstress, as a waitress, as a bounty hunter, and eventually wanted to become a Kyoshi Warrior. With no way to get to the island, and no doubt they would know of her cannibalistic past, she never really studied under anyone, instead going to libraries and studying through those. She created her fans, Tui and La, at the age of sixteen and has kept them ever since.
Injuries and ConsequencesWhen Alxina was seventeen, she explored life as a bounty hunter. She secretly hoped to catch her adoptive mother and bring her to justice; this never happened. On a mission to stop a woman from suppressing and killing the citizens of a small Earth Kingdom village, she had been misinformed. While those who hired her stated that she was a minor threat, they did not know about the woman's alchemy prowess. When Alxi went to attack her, the woman blew her sky high using some sort of combustion mixture. Alxina was blown back, landed upon the earth with a sickening crunch, and blacked out. When she awoke, it was to find that she was lying in the middle of a large crater, surrounded by five bodies. Four were of citizens who had been too close to the battle, the other of the woman who had tried harming Alxina. She found that her ears hardly worked after that, but has come to terms with the disability.
Path of ForgivenessOn the path of becoming an unofficial Kyoshi warrior, Alxi has also found the path of spirituality. Each night, she meditates and contemplates her life, her position in the universe. During these times, she greets those whom she killed, all but her family. She does what she does to be forgiven for all of the hurt and pain she caused, to right her wrongs. But, just because she wants to be forgiven for killing those others as a child, it does not mean that she hates killing. Quite contrarily; the love she had for it as an eleven year old is still very much alive. But, with age comes restraint. She now enjoys starting fights with others, usually to the death.
A Single CompanionOne night, two months after her twenty second birthday, Alxina found a small eagle-fox. Rather like a griffon in design, the creature is fox-faced and nimble, but with the wings of an eagle and fearsome talons on the back legs. Alxi named this creature Lolani (literally meaning "to fly like a hawk"), although she does usually call it Lo for simplicity. In the past year, it has grown to be a little smaller than a mountain lion, but not much. She could climb upon her pet and ride her, but Lo doesn't like it and Alxina hates heights.
Death of a Loved EnemyWhile visiting the town of Makapu, Alxi came across her mother once again. Eona died there, giving Alxi her obsidian claws. Alxi uses these because they're excellent weapons and she's extremely good with them.
