Name: Minxiu
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Element: Earth
Place of birth: Ba Sing Se
Personality: Disciplined, cunning, and stoic, she does not speak much when she is on duty. In contrast when she is off duty, she is a creative and freethinker, a dreamer that hopes to see the world and all it has to offer. She lives with the conflicting duality of her natural self and one of strict discipline and control from her lifelong training within the Dai Li.
Physical appearance: Minxiu’s most striking appearance that people tend to remember about her are her large angled sharp eyes. In addition to striking fear and intimidation into those she focuses on, they are also pure light ice-blue color, something that is extremely rare within the earth kingdom. Her extremely long raven black hair is typically pulled back into a single hair braid that extends past her waist, tied off with a crystal hair tie that resembles a bladed spear tip. She is average in height with a lithe and lean body build keeping herself very flexible and adaptive. Her skin is light tan in color with a large Badgermole tattoo spread across her upper back.
Clothes: (We will be changing this a lot depending on the nation they travel to, so just focus on their casual set): Minxiu wears a modified version of the tradition Dai Li robe uniform to be slightly more form fitting to be more agile and streamline allowing for even more unrestricted movement.
Weapon: (Just one for now, don't need an arsenal with swords, bows, smoke bombs, slingshots...): Traditional Dai Li rock gloves and boots, though Minxiu often times makes modifications to fit the situation. Dai Li Surveyor’s Chains. Kerambit.
Background: Minxiu does not remember too much before her time before she was picked and indoctrinated as a Dai Li trainee when she was ten years old, three years earlier than traditional Dai Li trainees. Her training was grueling, relentless, and merciless as expected from the organization. Contact with her family during her training was limited and controlled during her time training to keep her focused despite her own father being a highly ranked Dai Li officer, Minxiu rarely saw him or the rest of her family during her years in training.
During her early years of training Minxiu primarily focused on earth bending forms, mental training, and martial arts training. When she reached her late tween years and entered her teenage years, she had already shown great skill and high potential in her earth bending skills. In addition to traditional earth bending forms Minxiu developed her own style of earth bending specializing in rapid close quarter’s takedown techniques that focuses on powerful strikes, joint manipulation and the use of a small hook knife known as a kerambit. (Inspired by the Martial Art known as Pencak Silat), with these techniques combined and enhanced with other earth bending techniques made Minxiu into a powerful agent of the Dai Li. Initially she was to be used as a precision assassin in anticipation of a potential war, but since then tensions had dropped, but not entirely.
Now a days Minxiu found her duties to be much more mundane by Dai Li agent standards, occasional throne room guarding for the earth kingdom royalty, spying or watching a potential person or persons of interest, and even on rarer occasions stopping occasional criminals that were too tough to be dealt with by the regular guards. Recently there has been a resurgence of foreigners entering the city following rumors or tails about the Avatar. Something that the Dai Li and the Earth King found… troubling.
Pet (If any): None for now.
