SHINA KITAO
name: Shina Kitao
gender: Female
age: 23
element: Water
animal companion:
Kina || Female || Polar Dog
Kina's personality is quiet and reserved and not much of a fighter unless her animal instincts kick in. She's really clean. Not only because of Shina's constant grooming, which Kina loves, but also from Kina's own grooming. Her cream fur is always silky smooth unless she gets into something dirty.
::looking pretty good[/font]
hair color: Brown
eye color: blue
skin color: Tanned
overall appearance:
Shina is fairly small for her age. Not in height, but in weight and muscle. She looks sweet, kind, and innocent. Certainly not someone you'd expect to be a bender. Shina dresses in the style of the southern water tribe, and though the top part of her clothing may come off to reveal a simple tank-top like shirt, she's not seen in much else.
Her hair is mid-back length and kept in two large 'tails' that drape over her shoulders, a few bangs drape in front of her face. Her blue eyes are like ice and seem to easily look through someone.
::what I'm thinking[/font]

- Soft things, like blankets that are really soft/fuzzy
dislikes:
- Ugly, icky things
- Mean people
- Really hot weather
- Cats, she finds them weird and creepy
- Heights
sexuality: heterosexual
overall personality:
Shina is quite and reserved and a bit shy. She's much like an innocent girl that never does anythign wrong. She listens and follows the rules and just has 'goody-two-shoes' written all over her. However; don't let this fool you. She may be cute and innocent, but she can whoop ass. She's a skilled water-bender that has no problem kicking a boy's butt (or girl's) or showing off to prove a point or just because she can. She also enjoys fair duels whether she's watching or competing. Around guys she thinks are cute she's a bit clumsy and silly, seeming embarassed at just about everything she does. This only lasts for awhile though before she warms up a bit and she acts like she would around friends.
::a past to remember[/font]
Shina is an orphan. She never knew her parents, whether they died in the war or just left her with an elderly women, she'll never know. She didn't stick around with the old woman for long. She left at the age of ten, but at a bad time. A snow storm had struck the south pole during her departure and when she awoke she was in a cave with a polar dog watching her with an intense gaze. Shina was quickly smothered by pups, and it occured to her then that this large female was a mother, these were her children.
Shina couldn't stay though, she was heading towards a small village right on the edge of the ice of the ocean where ships often left to other lands. When the storm stopped a few days later she set off, one of the pups followed her, refusing to turn back. She named her Kina, a play on Shina's own name because hey, she was ten. She arrived at the city and that was where she met a middle-aged man named Moko, who took care of her and Kina and when Moko discovered her talent for waterbending, he was quick to teach her as she could barely control it and often caused more trouble than anything else.
Shina picked it up easily and quickly and with obvious talent, whoever her parents were, they had obviously been pretty good benders.
Shina and Kina left the south pole at 20 years of age where they then settled down in Republic city. Shina often didn't fight to harm, but more so to just put people in their place. When she did end up hurting someone she more than not apologized. Shina still doesn't know who here parents are, but she wishes she could one day find them.
