Description

Ayame (ah-yah-meh)
Japanese: Iris - flower of inspiration

Family:
-Ayame is the youngest of five, and the only girl. Growing up with four brothers has made her not afraid to assert her place, she is very straightforward and can be brutally honest. But it has also taught her to share, and it takes quite a bit to upset her or use up her reservoir of patience.
-Her mother is a talented painter, preferring flowers as her subject. She runs a small nursery on the side, more as an excuse to grow a collection of flowers than for profit. Ayame enjoys flora just as much, and spends a lot of time in the garden.
-Like her father, Ayame is an earthbender. She also acquired his laid-back attitude and full laugh, but doesn't have his enthusiastic work ethic. He is a decent self-taught cook, and passed his knowledge onto Ayame and her siblings, though she prefers to bake.

Bending:
-She is by no means a prodigy - favoring a day playing around to work or practice - but not a force to be underestimated either once roused. Her defense is pretty solid, but while she is assertive she is not aggressive. She has a true aim, however, and if offense is necessary dagger-like shards for throwing are her weapon of choice.

Miscellaneous:
-Ayame isn't the most graceful on her feet, and often finds herself off of them, but her hands make up for that in dexterity. She not only has her mother's green thumb and penmanship, but is also ambidextrous.
-She is a people person, and treats everyone as a potential friend. She can take abuse pretty well, but is quick to lose her head if a friend is threatened or mistreated.
-Even though she is fine with crude jokes, clutter, dirt, and sweat, Ayame is still very girly. She's as much a sucker for small furry creatures as she is for a pretty face, a relentless tease, and an ever hopeless romantic.
-Usually goes by the nickname Aya (or little Aya), which happens to mean design or paint.

Tuan ([link])
-Ayame didn't start out having much in common with her eldest brother, Tuan. He was motivated, soft spoken, and practical.
-She used to favor embroidered robes and fancy cloths, and all but ignored her bending - proclaiming it unflattering and unladylike. Deep down, though, it wasn't that at all, and it was Tuan that brought her out of her shell.
-When Tuan left to fight in the war, he gave Aya a vest much like his own as a gift. There is a deeper meaning behind it, and she has worn it and other practical clothes since, although in her own way (tucked into her obi).


Edit: fixed her under-obi stuff to make more sense, silly me XD Also added more misc. info and a section regarding her brother.

I do not own Avatar or its -verse.
